and training. In cooperation with the Sheriff’s Office Critical Incident Commander and the Carroll Office of
Public Safety Support Services, the Support Services Division represents the Sheriff’s Office as a member

Terrorism Prevention and UASI Mobile Command Center grants.
In 2010, Sheriff’s Office
personnel sworn and civilian
received a total of 6,614.5

Corporal Wolfe, assigned to the
Maryland Police Training Commission
headquartered in Sykesville, worked
with the Commission to improve the
entry-level academy curriculum. This
was done with the foresight that
many future new recruits from the
Sheriff’s Office would be attending
that academy as the transition
occurs. That foresight came to
fruition when the Carroll County
Commissioners voted to send 9
new recruits to the January, 2011
Maryland Police Training Commission
entry level academy.
