Charles County Detective Named Deputy of the Year Charles County Sheriff’s Office Auto Theft Detective Charles Baker was recognized as a Maryland Sheriff’s Association’s Deputy of the Year at a banquet held in Ocean City in October.
Det. Baker was honored in the crime prevention category for his role in reducing auto theft in Charles County by 35 percent and by implementing a bait car program.
In late 2004, Det. Baker proposed the idea of acquiring a bait car to help combat the auto theft problem in Charles County. Throughout 2005 and 2006, Det. Baker pursued this goal, conducting research, attending training, negotiating with insurance companies for the donation of a vehicle and researching the systems available. In June 2006, the bait vehicle was delivered. Det. Baker prepared and conducted the agency training necessary to implement the program.
“Det. Baker’s innovation and dedicated pursuit of implementing the bait car program reflects his commitment to ensuring the safety of the citizens of Charles County,” said Sheriff Rex Coffey. “Despite his tireless efforts during this project, he still managed to maintain his normal case load. Such dedication to public safety is truly commendable.”
