Barrack Information: The full-service barrack provides police services to Washington County, which, with a population of over 140,000, is beginning to mirror the counties to the east as it is becoming a bedroom community. Troopers handled 532 Part I (more serious) crimes, an 18% increase over 2005. One incident involved the capture of an inmate charged with murdering a correctional officer. In another case the arrest of an adult and his juvenile accomplice, who committed a string of 12 burglaries, led to the recovery of a large amount of property, which was returned to its owners.

Traffic in the county has increased drastically the past few years and congestion is a daily problem. Troopers patrolled 276 miles of roadways, conducted 969 collision investigations, and handled 999 collisions that did not require a report. A subject was arrested in February and charged with manslaughter and numerous other counts relating to a fatal, alcohol related, motor vehicle collision. He was convicted and sentenced to ten years with five years suspended. Troopers conducted four sobriety checkpoints, and made six DUI arrests, one CDS arrest, and one arrest for a weapons violation as a result.
Directions: Located on Md. 65 in Hagerstown. From I-70 take Exit 29, Sharpsburg. Garage located approximately 1/4 mile on right.
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 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
