Worcester County Sheriff's Office

Only 1-day after “The Love Leads Project” leashes were issued to our deputies, we were able to put one to good use.  

Deputy King responded to one of our busy highways for the report of a loose dog running near traffic.  He was able to secure this adorable Chocolate Lab mix, later identified as “Duce” using one of the new leashes.  Since that time, we’ve learned that “mischief” likes to find Duce every now and then.  We are happy to report that he’s been safely reunited with his guardian. 

A suspended Worcester County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) Deputy Sheriff was arrested and charged Monday evening with 2nd Degree Assault (Domestic Related). The Maryland State Police arrested 36-year-old Corporal Stephen J. Gulyas III, of Pocomoke Maryland.

Effective October 3rd, 2020, the Worcester County Public Firing Range will resume normal operational hours. 

State of Maryland health requirements will be enforced.

On Saturday October 3, 2020 Mrs. Joyce Royer donated 50 homeless outreach bags to the Worcester County Sheriff's Office in honor of her late husband, Fred Royer.  Fred, who served in the United States Navy, had a passion for helping the homeless.  After his passing from mesothelioma, his wife donates these bags on his birthday weekend for homeless outreach.  Several bags were also donated as a thank you to the Deputies for their hard work for this County.  Thank you to the Royer Family for your generous donation.
