Corporal reports filled shifts and enforcement hurdles as truck-restriction signs are repeatedly removed
Summary
Corporal Tyler Price told the council that all 29 approved January shifts were filled and deputies handled 10 calls for service; he said speeding and tractor-trailer violations remain concerns and that truck-restriction signs are repeatedly taken down, and he agreed to add a tractor-trailer section to the Sheriff's monthly report.
Corporal Tyler Price gave the Sheriff's Office update at the Port Deposit Town Council's Feb. 3 meeting, reporting that all 29 approved January shifts were filled and that deputies responded to 10 calls for service despite severe weather.
Price said traffic enforcement remains a priority, with persistent problems involving speeding and tractor-trailer violations. He told the council that enforcement is complicated because truck-restriction signs have been repeatedly taken down or are missing, including one near the northeast side of Route 222 that has been down more than once.
Council members requested adding a tractor-trailer section to the Sheriff's monthly report to capture stops and citations related to commercial vehicles; Corporal Price confirmed it could be added to the reporting form.
The update provides the council with operational context for prioritizing traffic enforcement and signage repairs.
