The Mission Statement of our Police Department is just three words, “Duty, Honor, Community.” You will see our mission statement on all of our police vehicles. In these trying times of pandemic and civil unrest, your Police Department has been performing its DUTY, protecting life and property within Ocean Pines. We believe in Honor, and treating all individuals we come in contact with dignity and respect.

When our residents call for help and assistance, we will be there for them. When it is necessary, we will arrest or cite those individuals who threaten others or put you at risk. Our Community is the reason for our existence. Keeping Ocean Pines safe and an attractive place to live and work. We shall never cease to strive to make Ocean Pines the safest community for its size in the State of Maryland. That is why our officers patrol our community 24 hours a day, 365 days in the year. We will not train our officers in unsafe arrest tactics, nor appear in paramilitary garb. That is not why we are here.

We are here to protect and serve YOU, with dignity and honor. To make you proud of us.
