Barrack Information: A series of residential burglaries, another of business burglaries, and a third of daytime burglaries were all resolved with the arrests of different suspects. In April, a subject reported missing three months earlier was located in his vehicle at the bottom of a creek. He was intoxicated at the time of the accident. Troopers made 305 DUI arrests over the year. During June and July, using underage Cadets, 28 businesses were charged with selling alcohol to minors. The search of a vehicle stopped for traffic violations in August revealed almost 3.5 pounds of marijuana. This was one of 255 CDS arrests made.

The Spring Hot Rod Show and the Delmarva Bike week in September attracted several hundred thousand spectators and participants, and created significant traffic safety and enforcement concerns. Once again, the combined efforts of the Department and local law enforcement ensured safe and successful events, with no major criminal or traffic incidents. On five weekends in the summer, troopers teamed with the Ocean City Police Department in Operation Pedestrian, to reduce the number of collisions involving pedestrians; there were 766 citations or warnings issued, 14 arrests, and no fatalities. For the whole year, there were 12,041 citations and 13,719 warnings written.
Directions: Located on US 50, Berlin. Eastbound side of US 50, 1 mile from US 113; 8 miles west of Ocean City.
Fingerprinting Info: In order to have a "background check" or "police clearance" completed by the Maryland State Police, you must appear in person at a Maryland State Police Barrack. At that time you must present a valid, government-issued, photo identification and a check or money order for $5.00 for each fingerprint card required (usually two are required). You will then have your fingerprints taken and those fingerprints will be checked against state and local databases. You will receive a response to our inquiry within a few weeks.
Fingerprinting Day(s): Wednesday 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
