I have met and talked with the new chief and I strongly believe that he is going to make a difference here in Pocomoke City. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience when it comes to fighting crime.
ReplyDeleteI am a Pocomoke City Police Officer. Already Sewell is making changes within the Dept. Some Officers are happy and a couple are upset. But I can already see that the changes are positive and is working. People are now being put in place who are capable of leading and not there because of who you know.
ReplyDeleteI wish the officers wouldn't be upset this early in the process. They need to try and be open to any changes at the beginning. They may end up liking what the Chief has to offer.
ReplyDeleteI'm an old horse who doesn't like the apple cart upset too much, but I can honestly say usually I end up liking change.
I am a long time resident of Pocomoke City and from what I have seen so far from Chief Sewell tells me that he is doing an excellent job with the police department. Officers are walking foot daily and based on the articles from the Pocomoke Public eye, more arrest are being made, and Officers are more visible in the community. I grade Chief Sewell and his officers with an A+.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Chief Sewell is excited to hear all the wonderful comments. Thanks for your comment and please keep reading the Pocomoke Public Eye.
ReplyDeleteIt is deffiently a presense of leadership now in the Pocomoke Police Department. Since the arrival of Chief Sewell's to the Eastern Shore I see great things are happening inside the P.D.
ReplyDeletePocomoke City is back on Track. Thank You Chief Sewell.

Knowing Chief Sewell for many many years as an intelligent, no nonsense type of guy. Pocomoke City is fortunate to have him as their next leader.
Anon 3:53 Thank you. What a great idea for a post and something I should have presented a few weeks ago but just didn't think about it. (Sorry, Chief)
ReplyDeleteI have met with Chief Sewell one time and he is a no nonsense kind of guy. He's a great man filled with personality, good sense of humor and the ability to laugh and smiling. Within just a short period of time he has turned the department around and I am so very glad that the people of Pocomoke now know about the crime that goes on in their town. They feel confident now that something is being done. They have been made part of the department that serves them. It didn't take Chief Sewell long to spring into action and include the citizens of Pocomoke. They deserve this kind of goodness.
