Police

MISSION STATEMENT

The Rock Hall Police Department promotes public safety through service, integrity, and professionalism utilizing partnerships to: 

• Prevent, reduce, and deter crime and the fear of crime.
• Enhance street safety through education and enforcement.
• Safeguard property and protect individual rights.
• In all areas of service, we seek to improve the quality of life of those whom we are entrusted to serve.

The Rock Hall Police Department is dedicated to keeping the citizens of Rock Hall safe and secure in their persons, homes, and property.  Officers are on duty through rotating shifts, 24/7, every day of the year. All officers participate in continuous training and are prepared to handle whatever duties the day brings. Small town police departments do not have the luxury of highly specialized units, so our officers must handle a broad range of duties and responsibilities every working day.

Rock Hall police are dispatched through the Kent County Emergency Communications Center in Chestertown, MD. Like all the municipal police departments in the county and state, we work closely with the Kent County Sheriff’s Office, Maryland State Police, as well as all other state and federal law enforcement agencies, as the need arises.
