Barrack Information: In May, troopers responded to a shooting complaint at a motel parking lot in Frederick. The victim, a 17-year-old juvenile from Frederick, had been shot in the head at point blank range. An examination of the suspect’s cell phone records led the investigation to York, Pennsylvania, and the suspect was apprehended and extradited back to Maryland. Also in May, a body found along I-70 was later identified as being from New Mexico; the case remains open. The October investigation into an armed robbery at a bank was successfully concluded with the capture of the suspect and recovery of both $1,600 and the carjacked vehicle the suspect was still in. On one of the 19,579 traffic stops made in 2006, several items from a burglary were found in a vehicle stopped by a trooper responding to a burglary alarm. Later searches of residences led to the recovery of a large amount of stolen property.

Throughout 2006, the barrack assisted the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI several times by securing aircraft and detaining the pilots who violated restricted airspace in and around the Washington metro area. Troopers worked with Secret Service agents on incidents of counterfeit monies being passed in the County. In a case that generated one of the 1,168 criminal investigations, two male subjects used a counterfeit $100 bill at a local gas station. Using a description of the suspects and vehicle, a trooper located them and recovered 32 counterfeit $100 bills. Working with the Sheriff’s Department and the Frederick City police, troopers went door to door to ensure that registered sex offenders were in compliance with court mandated requirements; the program led to a 100% compliance rate.
Directions: From I-70 East, take Exit 56. Make an immediate right onto Bowman Farm Road, then left onto Airport Drive East. From I-70 West, take Exit 56. Circle back over I-70 and take the first right after crossing over the interstate. Go east on the access road and it becomes Bowman Farm Road, then left onto Airport Drive East.
Fingerprinting Info: In order to have a "background check" or "police clearance" completed by the Maryland State Police, you must appear in person at a Maryland State Police Barrack. At that time you must present a valid, government-issued, photo identification and a check or money order for $5.00 for each fingerprint card required (usually two are required). You will then have your fingerprints taken and those fingerprints will be checked against state and local databases. You will receive a response to our inquiry within a few weeks.
Fingerprinting Day(s): Thursday 12:30 pm - 4:00 pm
