2 Bel Air Policemen Promoted To Officer First Class

BEL AIR, MD — Two policemen were promoted to Officer First Class this week at Bel Air Town Hall.

Officer First Class Kevin J. Kadolph and Officer First Class Jordan J. Greene were recognized with certificates and a reception at the Bel Air Armory.

Kadolph began his career with the Bel Air Police Department in 2008 and worked as a dispatcher for 12 years. After graduating from the Baltimore City Police Academy in 2020, he joined the force in Bel Air.

"He has made 36 criminal arrests, six DUI arrests, authored three search warrants and made 774 traffic stops,” Mayor Kevin Bianca said at the Bel Air Town Hall meeting on Monday, noting the man has been an officer for a relatively short time.

Kadolph is a lieutenant with the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company. He also served on the Bel Air Police Department's auxiliary and was a member of Bel Air Police Department's Explorers program, for those age 14 to 21.

As a police officer, he is a member of the Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) program, which aims to refer people to public health resources rather than making an arrest in some cases.

"His life has been one of service to the people of Bel Air,” Bianca said.

Another officer was promoted this week as well, and the mayor said he has spent his life in service too.

Greene, who has lived in Bel Air since 2006, has decades of experience as a member of federal law enforcement and emergency medical services teams.

In 1992, Greene began his career with the New Mexico State Police, spending 25 years after that in federal law enforcement.

He was also a paramedic with the Manchester Volunteer Fire Company in New Hampshire, officials said.

“I’m honored to work alongside these amazing cops,” Bel Air Chief of Police Charles Moore said. "We’re very, very fortunate to have them serving us in the town of Bel Air."
