Public Safety - Police Accountability - Investigation Records Relating to Not Administratively Charged, Unfounded, and Exonerated Complaints
Hearing (House)
Summary
The bill requires that any investigation record linked to a complaint of police misconduct be taken out of the officer’s personnel record three years after a determination not to administratively charge the officer, or after a trial board finds the complaint unfounded or the officer exonerated. It applies to all Maryland law‑enforcement officers and seeks to prevent unresolved or cleared complaints from lingering on personnel files.
