Worcester County Sheriff's Office  

Worcester County's DUI Conviction Rate Was the Highest in the State!

Every year around August, the National Study Center (a subsidiary of University of Maryland Shock Trauma) does an analysis of the DUI arrests that were made during the previous calendar year (2023).  Our conviction rate, in Worcester County, has been the highest in the state for many years now.  The total number of arrestable cases in Worcester County for 2023:  898 Impaired driving arrests. This past calendar year, Worcester County had a conviction rate of 90.7%!  We are thankful for our States Attorney’s Office in securing these convictions.  We are proud of our allied law enforcement partners in our county, for being the best partners!
