Ripken Baseball Camp
August 15, 2019
This week, deputies with the Sheriff’s Office had a blast working with the youth at the Ripken Baseball Camp. Working with them on the fundamentals of baseball, it’s a great opportunity for our deputies to bond with kids from around the country, and show there is more to a Law Enforcement Officer than just a badge!
Congratulations to ELC30!

Congratulations to EL-34!
August 8, 2019
Tonight they graduated from the academy! This group included law enforcement officers from the Harford County Sheriff’s Office, Cecil County Sheriff’s Office and Elkton Police.
We’d also like to thank Representative Andy Harris for giving the keynote address.
This awards ceremony was also special, because for the first time a recruit received an agency award. Recruit (now Deputy) Tyler Dailey (Who was also class valedictorian) was awarded the Sheriff’s Office Life Saving Award along with DFC Michael Burgess and DFC Christian Nadeau. Just a few weeks ago, Deputy Dailey was traveling off duty when he witnessed DFC Burgess performing CPR. He stopped to assist, and DFC Nadeau arrived with an AED. With their combined efforts, the woman being treated regained a pulse!
Join us in congratulating all these fine young men and women, and wish them the best as they begin their career in Law Enforcement.
