Police Accountability Board Statement

Required by the Maryland Police Accountability Act of 2021, the Police Accountability Board will receive citizens’ complaints of alleged police misconduct and forward them to law enforcement for investigation. Once an investigation is complete, the Administrative Charging Committee will decide whether the officer will be administratively charged and offer a recommendation for discipline in accordance with a state-mandated matrix. A complaint of police misconduct must be filed within 45 days of the event unless otherwise provided for by Maryland law.
