Public Safety - Law Enforcement - Quotas (Community-Oriented Policing Act)

Summary

The bill bans law‑enforcement agencies in Maryland from setting or maintaining arrest or citation quotas and from using quota numbers as the primary basis for evaluating, rewarding, or disciplining officers. It also creates a process for any officer to report suspected quota use to the Attorney General, who must investigate within a year and can order the agency to stop the practice. The measure aims to prevent pressure on officers to meet numeric targets and to increase accountability.
