Ridgely, Maryland, commissioners suspended the town’s entire police force pending an investigation, leading to speculation from residents.
Ridgely commissioners announced the suspension on the town website last week without any further explanation. They reached an agreement with the Caroline County Sheriff’s Department to fill the void as the investigation continues.
“The Commissioners of Ridgley … suspended with pay the entirety of the Ridgely Police Department … effectively immediately, pending investigation by the Office of the Maryland State Prosecutor,” a statement on the town website reads. “The Commissioners are currently developing a temporary agreement with the Caroline County Sheriff’s Department to guarantee uninterrupted public safety services for the citizens of Town of Ridgely.”
