The same meeting included a report on trial board and complaint activity. A staff representative summarized two recent trial boards: an April 30 hearing in which an officer was found not guilty of excessive use of force but pleaded guilty to rude and discourteous conduct and failure to notify a supervisor; and a May 14 hearing in which an officer was found guilty of failing to take appropriate police action.

The report said the board's packet documented 83 total cases involving Baltimore County Police Department members, including 23 use‑of‑force cases. The presenter itemized multiple complaint categories and whether officers were charged or not: 10 departmental accidents (all 10 charged); 11 complaints for rude, discourteous or unprofessional behavior (2 charged, 9 not charged); 14 alleged use‑of‑force policy violations (14 not charged); and a range of other counts (search/seizure, improper arrest, failure to provide medical aid, body‑worn camera violations), many of which were marked \"not charged\" in the packet. The presenter said previously reported typographical errors in the packet were corrected and an updated copy had been sent to staff.

Chief (name not provided) attended the meeting and thanked the board and Administrative Charging Committee (ACC) for their work on accountability. The chief said the department has continued to emphasize \"the sanctity of life\" and acknowledged that the county has seen several incidents this year requiring the use of deadly force, with some resulting in injury or death. He also announced that the Baltimore County Police Department's internal affairs section will move out of the Public Safety Building to a new office at 305 Washington Avenue in Towson, saying the location will make that office \"much more accessible to the public.\"

Calgary introduced Lauren Phillips as the assistant deputy administrative officer for public safety who will step in on an interim basis to perform his duties. The board members and staff thanked Calgary for his service and wished him well in his new position.

The board adopted the minutes from the prior meeting and later moved to adjourn to a meeting scheduled for Sept. 15, 2025, at noon in Room 118 at the courthouse.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Baltimore County Police Accountability Board Meeting, June 16, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Henry Calgary, the county's assistant deputy administrative officer for public safety, told the Police Accountability Board on a June 2025 meeting day that his last day with Baltimore County is Wednesday and that he will take a position with the Maryland State Police next week.","taxTitle","Baltimore County, Maryland","taxId",3882,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6683750,"Legal adviser and public commenters clarify Police Accountability Board and Administrative Charging Committee roles",1568,1011000,2579000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5391264-c9659fc52b8f0b76d0bf4a424873a8da&start=1011&end=2579","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5391264-c9659fc52b8f0b76d0bf4a424873a8da/thumbnail_1011000.jpg","/articles/6683750/Baltimore-County/Maryland/Legal-adviser-and-public-commenters-clarify-Police-Accountability-Board-and-Administrative-Charging-Committee-roles","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6683750-c030c8c85e5777665d494519e1fccdf0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771153834&Signature=gN7prqh2ujKJUBuqzyIm3lUQ5KRqAKUaCKGXlWdcKI5I665LCjGvSdbOxwu3JIqnCzuXwwPbGP9tbLmiX6VRJDDV6w3yT4evgTSMMN0TRGBaYGYWWMHApFOTVTgUu4kiO1V4f80DQTOePDWVTbdonMf347FxU-zgRQjDtvg9rSqUSydHVf1u3SVgEqR9tmk3wh93JGVpIm5Bpmq06XTGgR70SWcTNAqyb0rMH9xEK7WQaMmsZZ2BcqQymClEOVrWMHnKxjZW4w3nilfUu85TadB4cD~~or9Ah6Cdams9i0hJ8gb3x5w7pUZgFC9k6g4iBQR8NRD1VjQdyZGjFeEbBw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A legal adviser for the county and members of the public used a June 2025 Police Accountability Board meeting to clarify how complaint intake and case review are split between two civilian oversight bodies: the Police Accountability Board (PAB) and the Administrative Charging Committee (ACC).

Ernie Wright, a legal adviser who said he sits with statewide police legal advisers, told the board that the PAB and ACC were \"designed and intended to operate and perform separate functions.\" He cited the Public Safety Article provisions that define the two bodies' responsibilities, saying the PAB's role is to receive complaints and forward them to the police department while the ACC is the civilian body statutorily charged with reviewing the department's investigations. \"The PAB was intended to be another option, for citizens to feel more comfortable, make a complaint to an independent body,\" Wright said.

Public commenters at the meeting urged greater transparency and said the PAB should have direct access to complaints. Dr. Tolleson asked whether the complaint numbers reported in the packet are public and expressed concern that few officers were charged. \"Are those numbers public numbers to the community?\" she asked; staff confirmed they are public. Peter Richkis, a Towson resident, told the board that advocates are not asking PAB members to investigate but to review incoming complaints so the board can make fully informed policy recommendations.

Wright and other staff reiterated that the statute permits the PAB to accept complaints but requires those complaints be forwarded to the police department for investigation; it does not give the PAB investigatory authority. Wright referenced the Public Safety Article sections that outline the PAB's duties (Public Safety Article \u0000\u00013-102) and the ACC's responsibilities (Public Safety Article \u0000\u00013-104). He said the ACC is a civilian body, with five public members, and it may request additional investigation before issuing its findings.

An ACC member at the meeting offered to compile and present nonidentifying trend data at future PAB meetings, including where complaints originate and policy recommendations the ACC has offered. Board members and commenters discussed the need for clearer public outreach and website language; a staff member confirmed the PAB website states complaints received by the PAB \"must be forwarded to the appropriate law enforcement agency within 3 days of receipt.\"","At a June 2025 Police Accountability Board meeting, a county legal adviser and other officials outlined that the PAB receives complaints and must forward them to the police department; the ACC, not the PAB, reviews investigations and decides whether department policy was violated. Public commenters urged greater transparency and outreach.","actionData","errors"]
