One year Report Card – A+

Upon the one (1) year anniversary as Chief of Police for Pocomoke City on December 01, 2012 I would like to share with you some of the accomplishments I am expressly proud of in the reduction of crime this past year. This reduction is due to officers being more visible in the public’s eye by getting out of their patrol vehicles and being more pro-active and approachable in the Communities in what was once our high crime areas. Due to the increased Omni-presence, crime in the below listed categories has taken a significant decrease:

 Murders decreased by 200%

 Robberies decreased by 50%

 Thefts & Larcenies decreased by 87%

 Burglaries decreased by 64%

With the acquisition of a new police department building and the re-invention of the wheel with a superior Chain of Command leadership and thoroughness of report writing it is certainly a command presence within the agency. Officers are working diligently, effectively and aggressively every day to make the Pocomoke City Police Department one of the finest law enforcement agencies in the State of Maryland.


Our Mission for the Pocomoke City Police Department members is dedicated to providing the highest quality police services in order to enhance community safety, protect life and property, and reduce crime and the fear of crime. To do this, we pledge to develop a partnership  with the community, lead a community commitment to resolve problems, and improve the safety and quality of life in our city. We will perform our duties with honesty, zeal, courage, discretion, fidelity, and sound judgment. It is essential that all members of the Pocomoke City Police Department  remember that in the execution of their duties they act not for themselves but for the good of the public. It is our Duty to Serve, an Honor to Protect.                                 

Under the leadership of Chief Kelvin Sewell the Pocomoke City Police members have found an invigorating atmosphere conducive to optimal professionalism among the ranks. The pride within the department runs rampant and the officer’s attentiveness and thorough observations as a combined patrol effort have greatly improved crime in Pocomoke City. Chief Sewell has a certain flair which radiates confidence among his officers and with his vast experience in law enforcement in all areas of criminal justice his experience is a wealth of knowledge. Chief Sewell’s applications of new divisions and operations have kindled a fire within the department to push beyond the norm and reach out to all areas of the community to increase public awareness and confidence.

Chief Sewell has connected with outside agencies and engaged in close working relationships to provide a thorough knowledge of County crime trends and pro-active events that will benefit Pocomoke City. By working together with outside agencies a wealth of information and assistance is available while working towards a common goal of a safer and brighter community, county wide.
