OCEAN CITY – Ocean City’s police chief said an enforcement shift has led to a significant increase in traffic stops and DUI arrests.
Last week, Police Chief Ross Buzzuro presented members of the Ocean City Police Commission with an update on police activity for the month of August. He noted that officer calls for service decreased from 3,002 in 2022 to 2,494 in 2023, while citizen calls for service decreased from 2,536 to 2,454.
“There were less calls for service in both areas,” he told the commission. “That excluded traffic stops, business checks, and assist citizen calls for service.”
In the top 25 calls for service, the police department reported a decrease in most line items. Buzzuro said calls for assisting motorists had decreased from 656 in 2022 to 584 in 2023, while parking violations had decreased from 471 to 376 and city ordinance violations had decreased from 396 to 267.
“The year before that they were at 702,” he added. “So there was a significant drop off.”
