Through the Maryland Police Accountability Act of 2021 – Police Discipline and Law Enforcement Programs and Procedures, which was enacted by the Maryland General Assembly on April 10, 2021, the BOCC is required to establish a Police Accountability Board and an Administrative Charging Committee.
Calvert County Government is focused on attaining a balanced representation of diverse backgrounds and experiences to execute those powers and duties.
