During 2012, the bureau increased by nine (9) addi onal uniformed road depu es,
bringing the current total to sixty-four (64). In October 2012, the rank of Corporal was
re-ins tuted as a supervisory func on, thus designa ng two road patrol supervisors to
each patrol squad. This increase in approved resources verifi es the strong commitment
made by Sheriff Tregoning and the Carroll County Commissioners to properly meet the
ever changing needs of the county law enforcement ini a ve.
Since the beginning of the law enforcement transi on regarding primary law
enforcement du es being transferred from the Maryland State Police to the Carroll
County Sheriff ’s Offi ce, the Sheriff has focused on streamlining police resources to
reduce expenses and increase effi ciency. Once the transi on is completed in the
summer of 2013, forty-fi ve (45) Maryland State Troopers will be replaced by only fortytwo
(42) Carroll County Sheriff ’s Depu es. At this juncture, the overall plan of ac on
has been very successful.
Patrol Division
Whenever a ci zen calls 911 for police assistance, chances are that any incident
requiring police response on or near a county roadway will be handled by a sworn,
uniformed deputy assigned to the patrol division. It is the largest and most visible
complement within the Sheriff ’s Offi ce responsible for emergency and rou ne calls
for service. Currently, the Bureau consists of 4 patrol squads, each commanded by an
offi cer in charge, holding the rank of Lieutenant. He/she is assisted in those du es by
the patrol sergeant, and together they form the basis of leadership, experience, and
tutorage demanded by these posi ons of trust.
