| Barrack Information: |
The 825 collisions investigated represent a 3.9% decrease, and fatal collisions
decreased almost 52% (25 to 12). One of these collisions involved three racing vehicles
and an innocent family of four that was struck in the rear. A nine year old was killed, and
the three suspects were all indicted on manslaughter charges. In support of traffic
enforcement troopers issued 15,946 citations (up 8.7%), 7,970 warnings (up 16.3%),
and arrested 490 people for DUI (up 14.8%). On a day in September, a “Rocket Roundup”
initiative to combat motorcycle speeding yielded 137 citations and 106 warnings. Throughout the year troopers participated in four warrant sweeps with the Charles County Sheriff=s Office that resulted in 112 arrests. Most of the arrests were made in counties where the Sheriff=s Office does not have jurisdiction. Another cooperative effort in September led to the discovery of four kilos of cocaine in a hidden compartment in a vehicle. Arrests for CDS violations increased 12.9%. Barrack personnel also found time to participate in many community-based organizations and programs, such as the County Fair, National Night Out, the Public School Safety Committee, Girl and Boy Scout tours, Shiver in the River for Special Olympics Maryland, and several awards ceremonies. |

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. | |
