This report recommends changes in the citizen complaint process against Baltimore City police officers.
Abstract
The Maryland Advisory Committee examined previous studies of the Baltimore police complaint process, analyzed primary legislative and statistical materials relevant to the process, and met and corresponded with informed parties. It suggests that the Complaint Evaluation Board include more community members, be allowed to refer cases directly to the State Police or Baltimore Community Relations Commission, and expand community outreach. Study data and notes are included.
