As we close out this week we wanted to recognize the accomplishments of a few of our officers. Cpl. Blair was recognized as the Southern District Officer of the Quarter. Sgt. Pugh, from our Traffic Safety Section, was acknowledged as the Special Operations Division Officer of the Quarter. PFC. Myers was presented the Chiefs Award for her life-saving efforts in helping to rescue a pilot who crashed into Beards Creek back on December 26th 2022. And finally, after 24 years of faithful and dedicated service to the citizens of Anne Arundel County, Cpl. Reynolds is retiring. We wish Cpl. Reynolds all the best in his future endeavors, whatever they may be.
