The Campaign for Justice, Safety, and Jobs (CJSJ), and the Maryland Coalition for Justice and Police Accountability (MCJPA) called on the City Council upon seeing the first PAB draft to make critical changes to the bill based on community concerns.

The ACLU of Maryland is a non-partisan organization that does not and has never endorsed any candidate for elected office.

Judge John Nugent recently denied an attempt by Calvert County Sheriff Mike Evans to have a lawsuit dismissed that seeks public records without onerous charges amounting more than $12,000.

Leaders with the Maryland Coalition for Justice and Police Accountability are sounding the alarm about serious concerns with the proposed regulations by the Maryland Police Training and Standards Commission (MPTSC) on Police Accountability Boards (PAB) and Administrative Charging Committees (ACC).

Demands for PAB membership criteria include youth and City residents regardless of immigration status or previous encounters with the criminal justice system.

"After meeting with Council staff last Thursday and being told the PAB bill was unlikely to be discussed this week, the Prince George's County Council scheduled a second hearing this morning on the Police Accountability Board legislation."

The Baltimore County Coalition for Police Accountability (BCCPA) sent an open letter to the Baltimore County Council as the Council plans to vote on Bill 24-22 tonight at 6 p.m. after only one hearing on the Police Accountability Board bill.
