ELKTON â It makes sense that James Greene chose a career in law enforcement, given his public service background.
âMy brother and father serve and continue to serve with Aetna (Hose, Hook & Ladder Co. in Newark, Del.),â Greene pointed out.
Following in their footsteps, Greene, a 1990 Newark High School graduate, joined Aetna in 1990 at age 18. Greene is a lifetime member of that volunteer fire company.
After earning an associates degree in criminology from Delaware Technical Community College in 1993 and then working for a private ambulance company in Wilmington, Del., Greene joined the Cecil County Sheriffâs Office in March 1995.
Greene began his CCSO career as a correctional officer, before he was transferred to the agencyâs law enforcement division in 1998, when he started as a patrol deputy.
