A Charles sheriffâs corporal who died of COVID-19 complications this week is the first police officer in the area to die from the virus, as the tri-county regionâs law enforcement agencies say the virus has not led to any major outbreaks.
Master Cpl. Robert Cadrette, 51, who had worked at the agency since 1998, died in the early evening on Dec. 5, due to complications from virus, which had killed at least 212 people in Charles, St. Maryâs and Calvert counties as of Tuesday, according to the state health department.
Cadrette had started out in the patrol division, later moving to criminal investigations where he worked in financial crimes and the special victims unit before moving back to patrol and property management.
