Local officers aren't interested in being promoted to lieutenant due to issues in the police department, according to the local union president.
Anne Arundel County is looking outside its own police department to find new lieutenants because local, qualified officers won’t apply for the positions, according to the International Brotherhood of Police Officers (IBPO). National union President David J. Holway declared the “open job posting” a sign that the Anne Arundel County police department’s leadership has failed. “Current Anne Arundel officers don’t want the promotion because they know it will bring them a step closer to the failed leadership that has broken their department,” Holway said. “It’s shameful that the county’s leaders have to advertise elsewhere to bring in superior officers who don’t know the extent of the dysfunction and leadership failure.” O’Brien Atkinson, the …

If people need to go to animal control, they can make arrangements to do so. Keeping offices open extra hours costs taxpayer dollars and disrupts the lives of employees. Some people would prefer to have everything open 24/7, without regard to anything other than their own convenience. No matter how long they are open, they won't be able to please everyone and that's just the way life works. It's … more ›
Legal experts said the charges against the Anne Arundel County executive show weakness, but that prosecutors will have to work hard to convict.
The allegations outlined in an indictment against Anne Arundel County Executive John R. Leopold are publicly embarrassing, legal experts said, but prosecutors could have trouble convincing a jury that he broke the law. Maryland State Prosecutor Emmet C. Davitt announced on Friday that an Anne Arundel County grand jury handed down a nine-page indictment alleging that Leopold stole and hid campaign signs from a political opponent and used county police officers to drive him to sexual dalliances in public parking lots in 2010. The indictment includes four counts of misconduct and another of fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in jail. The indictment alleges that Leopold: Lawyers involved in public corruption cases said most …
