May Honorees

The Maryland Capitol Police Communications Operators and Supervisors are the lifeline to our Police Officers and Security Officers in the field. They handle hundreds of calls per week and make split second decisions that can be the difference in life and death. One second, they may be taking a call for someone locked out of an office and the next may be a serious crime or medical emergency. Their quick thinking and ability to multitask under stressful situations can be the key to MCP handling anything throw our way. Our PCO’s and PCS’s are responsible for operating highly protected computer systems that have access to criminal and civil data bases. They must be trusted to the highest degree and withstand stringent audits by governing bodies. When things seem to be crashing around us at MCP our PCO’s and PCS’s are often the “calm in the storm.” In honor of National Public Safety Telecommunications Week, we would like to nominate the MCP PCO’s and PCS’s to be recognized for Doing Great Service. Congratulations to PCS Connie Cheeks, PCS Lakeshia Wesby, PCO Tameara Blackston, PCO Damara Knox, PCO Mechiko Moulden, PCO Maurice, Hughes, PCO Leslie Nichols, PCO Lindsey Woolery, PCO Richard Bassett, PCO Felicia Mooney, and PCO April Fenner.
