Captain Joshua Bromwell, Maryland Board of Public Works | EOW: 9/17/1893
Today we remember a fallen hero from the eastern shore of Maryland who was the second law enforcement officer to pass in the line of duty. Captain Joshua Bromwell is listed on the Officer Down Memorial Page here but with limited information. It is worth noting that his agency, the Maryland Board of Public Works, State Fishery Force, has since been absorbed by the Maryland Natural Resources Police of Maryland.
About the State Fishery Force: "By 1868, the State Oyster Police Force was created to enforce oyster laws. The Governor, Treasurer, Comptroller, Superintendent of Labor and Agriculture, and Clerk of the Court of Appeals were constituted the Commissioners of the State Oyster Police to oversee the Force. Reorganized as the State Fishery Force in 1874, it was placed under the Commissioner of Fisheries and, in 1880, under the Board of Public Works. The Force constituted the "Maryland Navy" in the Bay oyster wars fought between Maryland and Virginia watermen at the end of the century. By 1886, the State Fishery Force also was assigned conservation duties, buying oyster shells to be planted or sown in the Bay "for the purpose of catching spat and experimenting in the propagation of oysters" (Chapter 314, Acts of 1886). In 1892, county commissioners were authorized "in their discretion" to supplement the Force with boats and officers at county expense (Chapter 643, Acts of 1892)." Source: MD State Archives
