Caroline County is taking significant steps toward enhancing police accountability and advancing local infrastructure projects, as discussed in the recent County Commissioners meeting held on March 25, 2025.

A key focus of the meeting was the ongoing development of a draft ordinance aimed at improving police accountability. Concerns were raised by members of the Police Accountability Board regarding proposed changes, particularly around term limits. The board expressed a desire for transparency and community input, prompting the commissioners to commit to sharing the final draft with the board for further comments before any public hearing is held. This collaborative approach aims to ensure that the ordinance reflects community needs and addresses the board's concerns.

In addition to police accountability, the commissioners provided updates on several priority projects. Notably, the transfer of Dayspring Apartments is progressing, with a real estate agent recently engaged to facilitate the process. Preliminary questions have been raised, but communication remains strong as the project moves forward.

The completion of the River Road project was also discussed, with plans to finalize paving after the school year ends, ensuring minimal disruption to local traffic and school activities.

These discussions highlight the county's commitment to both enhancing public safety through accountability measures and improving infrastructure to benefit residents. As these initiatives develop, the community can expect further updates and opportunities for involvement in shaping local governance.
