A Thank you letter for Chief Sewell

I wanted to take a few minutes to thank you Chief Sewell for all the wonderful changes you made in Pocomoke City. I lived in Pocomoke since 1994 it was a wonderful sweet friendly town, but sadly through the year’s crime began to rise. I didn't feel safe allowing my children outside to play, drug deals were going on right out in the open. Then in 2011 you became Chief, It was just the fresh change our town needed. You had your officers walking the street making their presence known, making the citizens feel safe and secure. You reached out to the citizens and made everyone feel that together as citizens and officers we could reclaim our once sweet peaceful town. You do so many community activities and with you as an example, your officers are encouraged to be all they can be. Pocomoke City officers are both professional and caring now. I write so many letters over the last few years about the extra things your officers do for the community. Once again, Pocomoke feels safe and is definitely a place to raise our children and grandchildren. I no longer see drug deals going on out in the open, or groups of young teens looking like they are up to no good. Now I see you and your officers reaching out to our youth to guide them in a better direction. It's nice to see a Chief of Police that walks the street with his officer’s and attends all community functions. So thank you for inspiring all your officers to reach out and engage with us as a community and to let everyone see that crime will not be tolerated here in Pocomoke. We finally reclaimed our town with thanks to you and your officers. God bless you Chief Sewell, your officers and your lovely family. 

Thank you Michele
