Administrative Hearing Board Scheduled
Administrative Hearing Board The University of Maryland Police Department (UMPD) conducts an Administrative Hearing Board at the request of the police officer who disputes the outcome of an Internal Affairs Investigation. Police officers receive some form of corrective action if an Internal Affairs investigation results in a finding that a police officer has engaged in misconduct by intentionally violating the law, any University of Maryland Police Department policy, or University policy. Internal investigations into allegations of police officer misconduct that could lead to disciplinary action, demotion or dismissal must be conducted in accordance with State law and the LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS’ BILL OF RIGHTS (LEOBR), Sections 3-101 through 3-112 of the PUBLIC SAFETY, ANNOTATED CODE OFMARYLAND. The LEOBR only applies to sworn agency personnel. Internal discipline is separate from punishment that the police officer may face as a result of criminal charges.

06/27/17 Incident Reported to Police
Dear Campus Community, Earlier today, we were notified of a knotted piece of plastic wrap laying on the ground in the 7500 block of Baltimore Ave. An officer met with two individuals who were walking south when they noticed the item. Police were notified out of concern for possible hate-bias. Preliminary investigation reveals that this type of material is used to contain and protect loose items during transport. Out of an abundance of caution, we are looking into this matter and conducting a review of our cameras in the area. We encourage the university community to continue to reach out to us when concerned as we work together to create a safer campus. If anyone has information, please call us at 301-405-3555 or email investigations@umpd.umd.edu .
