Crofton Police Department News!
January 2025 - The Crofton Police Department is pleased to announce the promotion of Officer Timothy Utzig to Corporal!
Crofton Police Department Officer of the Year 2024
Corporal Kyle Gable was recognized as the Crofton Police Department’s 2024 Officer of the Year. If you tend to be a lead-footed driver, you’ve probably already met CPL Gable. Over the last two years, Crofton P.D.’s statistics have shown that our officers are making their presence increasingly known in the community. One of the statistics is for traffic violations and CPL Gable is a large part of the reason why traffic citations and warnings along the Parkway have become more common AND we are seeing less speeding as a result.
Rather than awarding a traditional plaque, Chief Jason Jett continued a new practice begun last year for Sergeant Sims by presenting to CPL Gable the Officer of the Year Belt!
