“Every Day That I Have Served as Governor, I Have Been Immensely Proud of the Men and Women of the MSP”
ANNAPOLIS, MD—Governor Larry Hogan and Maryland State Police (MSP) Superintendent Woodrow W. “Jerry” Jones III today honored recipients of the agency’s highest awards during the annual MSP Superintendent’s Award Ceremony in Sykesville.

“Every day that I have served as governor, I have been immensely proud of the men and women of the MSP—those of you who put your lives on the line for the rest of us,” said Governor Hogan. “Especially in today’s environment, when too often our law enforcement officers are unfairly criticized and don’t get the recognition and appreciation that they deserve, I want you all to know that you have, and will always have, the full support of your governor.”

Those honored for their outstanding service over the past year include Trooper Kashef Khan, Trooper of the Year; Michael Hoffman, Police Communications Operator of the Year; Sydney Sarrichio, Police Communications Supervisor of the Year; and retired Major Greg Shipley, Milton S.
