We believe in building a partnership with the community we serve to identify, analyze and respond to the underlying circumstances which precipitate crime and social disorder. We approach problems by developing a response that relies on both traditional and non-traditional police problem-solving methods. We recognize that traditional American community values are those on which our organizational values are based.
Officers participate in an Annual Career Day at the Fruitland Intermediate School during which officers interact with students, share their law enforcement experiences and duties.
Each year, the Fruitland Police Department escorts Santa throughout the city to give out toys to all the good girls and boys of the city. Be sure to follow us on Facebook to stay in the loop on when Santa might be coming to your street.
This annual event is held on the first Tuesday night each August. Its purpose is to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, strengthen neighborhood and community-policing involvement and encourage residents to take a stand against crime.
Faith & Blue is based on the premise that strong communities are built through mutual respect and understanding. Law enforcement and faith institutions are key pillars of each community, and when they work together, neighborhoods thrive.
Crime prevention helps develop proactive measures to keep communities safe by working closely with the citizens of Fruitland. These programs help identify crime hotspots, conduct outreach and education programs, and collaborate with other law enforcement agencies and community groups to address the root causes of crime. Our goal is to create a safer community.
In 2021, the Maryland Legislature passed the Maryland Police Accountability Act of 2021. This law required all counties to create three police oversight boards, each of which serves a different function. The three police oversight boards consist of: a Police Accountability Board, an Administrative Charging Committee, and a Trial Board. In April 2022, the County Council created and the Acting County Executive signed into law the creation of the three police oversight boards. Collectively, the three boards are referred to as the Law Enforcement Review Board of Wicomico County.
