Lexington Park Community Policing

The COPs Unit was formed in August 2013, joining the community in working with neighborhood partners to address crime and quality-of-life issues impacting the residents and businesses throughout St. Mary's County. Deputies of the COPs Unit work in the community on a daily basis, not only serving as law enforcement, but as community partners, employing community-based policing techniques to detect, distract, degrade and dismantle criminal activities. We recognize the importance of working with community partners and other service providers to improve the quality of life for all.
