ACC enters closed session under Maryland Code §3-104H to review investigatory files
Summary
On Oct. 25 the Baltimore County Administrative Charging Committee voted to go into closed session to review investigatory files and discuss investigations pertaining to possible criminal conduct, citing Maryland Code, Public Safety §3-104H; the committee later returned to open session.
The Baltimore County Administrative Charging Committee voted Oct. 25 to enter closed session to review investigatory files and to discuss investigations pertaining to actual or possible criminal conduct, citing Maryland Code, Public Safety §3-104H.
Joan Harris moved that the ACC enter closed session for the stated purposes and another member seconded. The chair called for a voice vote and members voted in favor. The motion referenced the statutory authority as the basis for holding privileged discussions and reviewing investigatory materials in private.
The transcript records the committee moving into closed session and later returning to open session; no investigatory details were discussed in public after the return, and no vote tallies or roll-call vote counts were recorded in the public transcript. The committee then introduced Aidan Durkin, the new senior coordinator for safety and accountability.
Because the meeting cited Maryland Code, Public Safety §3-104H as the legal authority for the closed session, the committee relied on a statutory exception for privileged or investigatory matters to hold the session.
