Cambridge, MD - Law enforcement coverage in Cambridge will change for about a day as the community says goodbye to Cambridge Police Captain Ronald "Shane" Hinson. Captain Hinson's funeral services will be held on October 2, 2026.

Starting at 7:00 a.m. on October 2, 2026 the Maryland State Police will handle all law enforcement calls for service and patrols in Cambridge. The Dorchester County Sheriff's Office will help support them.
