The group meets to:

  • share information and concerns relating to the safety of their community with other communities and law enforcement personnel
  • seek guidance on how to handle specific problems and situations within their community, and
  • stay up to date on recent trends in criminal activity.

In an effort to keep our community members informed, current crime trends will be outlined below after each meeting. In addition, the Calvert County Neighborhood Watch Program has a Facebook page.

Current Crime Trends

  • Cases of skimmers being placed on ATM and payment machines at various stores in the county.   Be cautious at any business when using a machine that requires you to swipe your card (gas pumps, in-store ATM, self-checkouts, and register payment machines).  
  • Spike in Fraud calls - People are impersonating law enforcement asking for donations or insisting that a loved one is in jail who needs immediate bail money.  A reminder that LAW ENFORCEMENT is not making these calls and would never request a gift card as payment for bail.  If you are unsure contact the CCSO non-emergency number 410-535-2800 or the MSP non-emergency number 410-535-1400.
  • Retail thefts are up in the north county (Dunkirk).
  • Reminder to secure your valuables out of sight when your car is parked in any parking lot or parking facility.  Keep your vehicle locked. 
  • Reminder that it's Tax Season and be aware of fraud calls. 

REPORT ANY SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY IMMEDIATELY TO LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.
