Resort’s July Police Activity Down Considerably, Chief Reports; Smoking Citations Up

OCEAN CITY – A decrease in police activity for the month of July highlighted a report presented to resort leaders this week.

On Monday, Ocean City Police Department (OCPD) Chief Ross Buzzuro presented the Ocean City Police Commission with an update on police activity for the month of July.

Last month, Buzzuro said, calls for service dropped significantly from July 2019, the most recent pre-pandemic data. Officer calls for service decreased from 7,204 in 2019 to 5,036 in 2021, while citizen calls for service decreased from 3,757 in 2019 to 3,201 in 2021.

“The gauge is going in the right direction,” he said. “Less calls for service means less need for police service and less activities we need to address.”

In the top 25 calls for service, parking complaints increased from 761 to 899, citizen assists decreased from 1,336 to 732 and alcohol violations decreased from 360 to 209.
