Sheriff Tim Cameron and the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office welcome 12 new deputies to the ranks of law enforcement in the agency.
The group took the oath of office and graduated from the Southern Maryland Criminal Justice Academy Police Entrance Level Training Program 46 on Friday.
With the addition of the new deputies, Sheriff Cameron told their family members on Friday, “I can’t help but smile.” In completing the Police Entrance Level Training Program, “what they did is not easy. The Academy is difficult,” the Sheriff said.

The new deputies are:
- Latisha Baker
- Joseph Bowling
- Andrew Burgess
- Austin Edelen
- James Fretwell
- Michael Graves
- Kyler Kilgore
- Benjamin Luffey
