Officials say Federalsburg policing handled by sheriff's office under year-long MOU
Summary
Members said the Federalsburg Police Department is considered defunct and that policing is provided under the sheriff's office via a one-year memorandum of understanding that will be reviewed in a year.
Members at the Sept. 29 ACC meeting discussed local law-enforcement arrangements for the town of Federalsburg, saying the town's police department is effectively defunct and that policing is being provided through a memorandum of understanding with the sheriff's office.
"It's the sheriff's office," the chair said when asked about current coverage. The chair added that he believes the Federalsburg Police Department is defunct and that responsibility rests with the sheriff.
Vadim asked for clarification about the MOU's term, asking, "Is it a year long MOU to be reviewed in a year?" The chair replied, "Yes." The exchange indicates the committee understands the town's policing relationship with the sheriff's office to be governed by a one-year MOU subject to annual review.
The transcript records the exchange but provides no written copy of the MOU, no specific county name for the sheriff's office in the record, and no operational details such as staffing levels or funding. The committee did not take any formal action on the MOU during the portion of the meeting transcribed.
