ABOUT US: The Town of Aberdeen was incorporated by an Act of the General Assembly in 1892. The Act provided for the election of five Commissioners who would enact ordinances necessary for the governance of the Town, which at its inception numbered about 700 people. The powers of the Commissioners were particularly enumerated under the Act, including the provision for the appointment of a town clerk and bailiff.

The Bailiff provided the police function for the Town. Apparently there had been some provision for law enforcement prior the incorporation of the Town because a jail, known as “The Dungeon” had been erected previously at the corner of Howard Street and Walnut Alley. It was a two cell affair constructed of stone; it stood to the rear of what became the Town Hall.

The position of Bailiff remained a fixture in the Town through the late nineteenth century. The position was held by the following individuals: Charles Thompson, Frank Doyle, John Temple, Charlie Shears, John Bowman and Mack Bowman. The title of Bailiff evolved into that of Chief of Police. In a photograph dated “about 1900” John Temple is identified as Chief of Police. Appointed in 1919, James B. “Ben” Ray became one of the longest serving police chiefs in America, retiring in 1965. Ben was something of a character. In the 1950’s and ‘60’s it was not uncommon to see him “walking his beat” in uniform Bermuda shorts, knee high black socks and carrying a swagger stick.

In 1936 the Town erected a stone building at the corner of W. Bel Air Avenue and Philadelphia Boulevard (Rt. 40), its original purpose was to serve as a comfort station for travelers. Apparently the Town fathers realized that the building was being under utilized and moved the Town offices and the Police Department there. The old jail was abandoned in 1948 when new cell and court space was made available in the rear of the firehouse located at W. Bel Air Avenue and Parke Street. The Police Department took over the remainder of that building when the fire department constructed a larger facility at Rogers and Franklin Streets in 1973.

Through the mid twentieth century the police department grew as the Towns population grew. During WWII the Department numbered three, by 1967 the Department numbered fifteen full time officers and three part time. The Chief of Police at that time was Chester Roberts. He was succeeded by William P. Krouse, a veteran of the Department for over twenty-five years. The next Chief was also a veteran officer, Arthur B. “Whitey” Elliott who served until August, 1981. By now the Department had grown to thirty-eight officers. Retired Maryland State Police Colonel Lemuel Porter took over and remained Chief until 1989. He was followed by John R. “Jack” Jolley, a retired US Army major and former Provost Marshal on the Aberdeen Proving Grounds. During his term of office Aberdeen went from being a Town to becoming a City. Chief Jolley left the Department in December, 1994 and was succeeded by Michael Zotos, a retired Deputy Commissioner from the Baltimore City Police Department. Chief Zotos retired four years later in 1999. Retired MSP Captain Randy Rudy became Chief of the Department in February, 2000. During his tenure the Department moved into new facilities located in the north wing of City Hall. In 2006 the Department reached its largest authorized complement of 46 sworn officers; unfortunately, as a result of the Great Recession of 2008 budget cuts caused a reduction in force. The Department is currently authorized 40 officers. In October, 2010 Chief Rudy retired from the agency. Captain Henry G. Trabert was appointed Chief, the first officer to rise through the ranks to that position since Arthur Elliott in the 1970’s.

The Aberdeen Police Department is a full service police agency. It consists of a Patrol Division staffed by 24 patrolmen and overseen by a lieutenant. The Criminal Investigation Division has three full time investigators and a crime scene technician; three additional detectives (including a K-9) are assigned to the Special Operations Unit and are responsible for street level narcotics and vice investigations. A fourth detective is assigned full time to the Harford County Task Force, a county wide multi-jurisdictional unit investigating mid- and upper level drug trafficking organizations. CID is supervised by a lieutenant. The Administrative lieutenant is responsible for procurement, quartermaster inventory, fleet maintenance, records management, police communications and numerous other related activities. He supervises and is assisted by an administrative sergeant, who oversees two School Resource officers and crossing guards and a civilian clerical supervisor. The Department also deploys a Special Weapons and Tactics Team, an Honor Guard and a Vehicle Accident Reconstruction Team. Under the Office of the Chief is a Deputy Chief, who is responsible for the day-today operations of the Department and a civilian CALEA manager. And to think, it all started with a Town Bailiff.

On Saturday the 25th there was an accident on 95 north that shut the highway down on both sides.i was the first car in line north bound.I flagged an officer down because I was making my best effort to get home.not because I was impatient and didn't want to wait,not because I'm special and can drive on thru.but because my daughter was having an asthma attack.the officer came to my car already annoyed because I pulled him away from his work,I explained the situation and he yelled at me "this is a serious accident,wait your turn like everyone else".with all of the first responders there not one of them could help me.not one of them could imagine there own child struggling to breath and help her.but they managed to find time to sit on the guard rail.....I have pictures of this.....and they had time to help the guys that created the mess take pictures with the fire trucks.i have a few choice words for that officer,but I will settle for saying that I severely hope you show more compassion for the next people you run into having an emergency. Your job is to protect and serve,so if that isn't what you are capable of doing then find another job.i don't think your all that qualified for the one you currently have.

False arrest in 2007. I will never ever forget because as a result of the false arrest, my children were removed from my care. Put in a foster home. Raped & abused. I was arrested for "shoplifting" along with my friend, even though I hadn't left the store with any items not purchased. The woman working in the deli placed my son's food in a shallow box because the sauce for his Chinese food was leaking. I was then told I was under arrest. I asked for them to please get the woman who put the food in the box- they refused although this was extremely serious. Then told that if I had no warrants that I would be released. Well, no warrants for my friend or myself, so we were arrested because we were "not from Aberdeen." As a direct result, children were taken & put into abusive homes. Watched their mother arrested before their young eyes... Placed in two nightmare foster homes. And the rest is history. The charges were dropped, of course. Arresting officer never bothered to show up to court. And due to his rogue & poor decision making skills, my two children paid the ultimate price. For 1.5 years, my children were in the system because of choices he made. (And thanks to a very corrupt system that he threw us in.) Thank God for our hired attorney, my children were saved & we were successfully able to sue Aberdeen DSHS. But... Damage is done. Why am I rating them 8 years later? Because we still live with the damage done due to one stinking cop's lack of judgement. He threw my friend around like a rag doll in front of my babies for something she nor I never did. I will never forget that officer's face as long as I'm alive. What he did caused a domino effect leading to hell for my children & myself. All for the charges to be DROPPED! This is my way of personally thanking him for a job well done. And for telling my friend & I to shut the f up when we were crying. Hopefully there are new & better officers representing this department. Or even cops with morals & integrity in this department now. I know there was an officer with him on that fateful night who was encouraging & kind & took care of my children, who sat in jail until 1 in the morning. He, I would thank if I had the chance.
