I am honored to share that I have chosen Gregory Passwaters to serve as Major in my administration if elected to the Cecil County Sheriff’s Office.

​

Gregory is a familiar face and a lifelong public servant dedicated to Cecil County. He began his career in law enforcement in 1997 with the Cecil County Sheriff’s Office under Sheriff William J. Killough Sr. For 28 years, he proudly served our community—earning multiple Sheriff’s Salutes, Life Saving Awards, and recognition from citizens and neighboring agencies alike. His reputation for integrity, compassion, and hard work speaks for itself.

 

After retiring in July 2025, Gregory looked forward to spending more time on the water doing what he loves—commercial crabbing. But when his longtime friend and colleague Chris Sutton shared his vision for restoring trust, accountability, and community connection within the Sheriff’s Office, Gregory knew he couldn’t sit on the sidelines.

 

He joined the Sutton for Sheriff Campaign Team because he believes Cecil County deserves positive change—and he’s once again ready to serve the people who mean the most to him: his community.

 

Gregory and his wife, Jamie, reside in beautiful Earleville, Maryland.
