We have come a long way since Sheriff Mosses Stagwell was sworn in as the first Sheriff of Talbot County in 1662. The men and women of our county-wide, full-service law enforcement agency strive to fulfill our constitutional duties and to address our public safety mission while improving the quality of life for those living, working and visiting Talbot County. The Sheriff’s Office is proud of the alliance we have established here in Talbot County with our citizens, businesses, community organizations, government leaders, faith based organizations, fire departments, emergency services, schools and our fellow law enforcement partners.
