Maryland Police Agencies' Policies

Public Safety Article §3–515 requires law enforcement agencies to post all of their official policies, including public complaint procedures and collective bargaining agreements, on the website of the Police Training & Standards Commissions as well as the agency’s own website, if the agency maintains one. A chief may prohibit the posting of administrative or operational policies that if disclosed would jeopardize operations or create a risk to public or officer safety, including policies related to high–risk prisoner transport security measures, operational response to active shooters, or the use of confidential informants. Each law enforcement agency shall post in a prominent public location an explanation of the procedures for filing a complaint of police officer misconduct; and a request to obtain records relating to an administrative or criminal investigation of misconduct by a police officer under the Public Information Act.
