Sergeant Michael Blair   On June 13th, 2009, Sergeant Michael Blair of the Sykesville Police Department’s Auxiliary Unit was honored at the Knights of Columbus Awards Banquet for being named Law Enforcement Officer of the Year.  After serving only 2 ½ years as an officer on the Auxiliary Unit, his accomplishments have gone a long way in ensuring our quality of life in the Town of Sykesville.   Some of the many contributions made by Sergeant Blair are serving as liaison with Sykesville’s business owners, conducting foot patrols in the community and school crossing details, directing traffic flow during accidents and power outages, educating individuals at town events on information and resources concerning preventative home safety tips, house checks, etc. and more.   This is only a small portion of services Sergeant Blair provides our community and its citizens.   Sergeant Blair and his wife, Pat, who also donates much of her personal time to this cause, were the guests of honor at the banquet along with a Carroll County educator and clergyman who were also honored for their work and dedication to the community.  All three were recognized by the Knights of Columbus for the services they provide their community and the impact their work has had on Carroll County.
