Safety and Security

• Upgrade and expand State Crime Lab. Hire more technicians
• Crimes against children their first priority. Evidence evaluated within 10 days, not 10 months.
• Provide warning label to all legal marijuana purchasers that use of Marijuana can hurt your chances of becoming a police or correctional officer, joining the military or working for the government.

• SROs. In the 2021 Legislative Session, I introduced Senate Bill SB0245 to:Prohibiting a school resource officer from entering a school building except if summoned by a school administrator or official to respond to an emergency involving violence or the threat of violence, to participate in certain training, or to use certain facilities; requiring a school resource officer to conceal any firearms except under certain circumstances; requiring a school resource officer to wear civilian clothing; and prohibiting a school resource officer from participating in the routine school discipline of a student.

• Increase pay for our Sheriff’s Deputies so that they can afford appropriate housing in Charles County.
