SNOW HILL – County officials this week opted to delay approval of a police accountability resolution.
The Worcester County Commissioners on Tuesday voted 6-1 to delay consideration of a resolution to comply with Maryland’s Police Accountability Act until next month. They noted the act, which replaces the Law Enforcement Officer’s Bill of Rights as the system for police discipline, doesn’t go into effect until July.
“I’d like to know what this actually means before I sign off on it,” Commissioner Chip Bertino said.
Roscoe Leslie, the county’s attorney, presented the commissioners Tuesday with a resolution to comply with the Maryland Police Accountability Act of 2021. He said the resolution needed to be approved and the commissioners needed to identify individuals to appoint to a police accountability board, a charging committee and a trial board. The act becomes effective July 1 of this year.
“This is mandated from the state, we’re just implementing it at the local level,” Leslie said.
Pretty much the end of law enforcement in Maryland. Soon all of Maryland will be lawless. PBOR is a Checks and balances for both sides in order for the cop to get a fair shake. But now indoctrinated key board warriors, clueless people and haters will decide who is right and wrong. Freaking crazy. Good luck finding good people to risk life for complete strangers.

Lather rinse repeat.
Just hire a “Diversity Officer” and let IT be in charge of implementation. Problem solved!
