4 Executive Summary An annual release since 1975, Crime in Maryland reports crime statistics provided by Maryland Law Enforcement agencies to the State s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program. Crime in Maryland details crime incidents, clearance rates, arrests, law enforcement officers killed and assaulted, and law enforcement employee data. Statewide, county, municipality, and reporting agency perspectives are presented within the report. The statewide UCR Program was developed to report crime in Maryland to the National UCR Program administered by the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Maryland program has evolved to collect and report data on domestic violence, hate bias and carjacking incidents and arrests. Reports and statistics pertaining to hate bias and their associated arrests are released in a separate publication to facilitate detailed reporting. The Uniform Crime Reporting Program collects information on crimes that were selected as an index to represent crime in the United States. These index crimes are murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, breaking or entering, larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft. Although not an index crime, data pertaining to the crime of arson is also collected, analyzed and reported through this report. Crime in Maryland decreased two percent in 2013, when compared to There were 185,422 total crime incidents reported in 2013 compared to 189,816 in Violent crime decreased one percent. The violent crime group consists of murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault. Property crime decreased two percent during the same period. The composition of the property crime group is breaking or entering, larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft. The 2013 percent increase or decrease of the index crime breakdown is as follows: Murder + 4.0% Breaking or Entering - 4.7% Rape - 5.4% Larceny-Theft - 1.2% Robbery - 0.9% Motor Vehicle Theft - 7.3% Aggravated Assault - 1.3% Arson % Arrests in Maryland decreased six percent in 2013, when compared to There were 245,505 arrests reported in 2013 compared to 260,783 in Of the total arrests, 217,230 or 88 percent were adults. This is a decrease of six percent over Juvenile arrests accounted for 28,275 or 12 percent of arrests in This is a seven percent decrease over Arrests for drug offenses totaled 48,938 in This is a one percent decrease over similar arrests reported in In 2013, 20,792 persons were arrested for driving while intoxicated. This is an increase of two percent over similar arrests reported in There was one Maryland law enforcement officer s who died in the line of duty during There were 3,405 Maryland law enforcement officers assaulted in This represents a decrease of one percent over similar assaults reported in 2012 and equates to 22 percent of full time law enforcement officers employed in Maryland. In 2013, there was a one percent increase in the number of full-time law enforcement officers in Maryland. There were 15,828 full-time law enforcement officers in 2013 compared to 15,603 in In 2013, there were 2.7 full-time law enforcement officers per 1,000 of population.

6 INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND The Maryland Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program is one measure that has been taken in the establishment of an effective Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) for the State. This particular phase focuses on the incidence of crime and law enforcement. It establishes a method to collect, evaluate and process uniform statistical data on crime statewide. The Maryland UCR Program provides the means to forward valid data to the Federal Bureau of Investigation from a single agency and also to consolidate it into an annual report entitled Crime in Maryland. NATIONAL UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING PROGRAM The counterpart of the Maryland UCR Program is the National UCR Program which is under the direction of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The National Program resulted from a need for a uniform compilation of crime statistics nationwide. Uniform Crime Reports were first collected in 1930 after being developed by a committee of the International Association of Chiefs of Police. The IACP continues to serve in an advisory capacity to the FBI in the current operation of the program. Crime statistics voluntarily submitted by individual law enforcement agencies from all 50 states are presented annually in the FBI s publication entitled Crime in the United States. MARYLAND UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING PROGRAM The FBI has actively assisted individual states in the development of State UCR Programs compatible with the National Program. Maryland took advantage of this assistance in 1972 and was able to develop its own program by The Maryland Uniform Crime Reporting Program became operational January 1, This program consists of the uniform classification, review, compilation and analysis of crime statistics reported by all law enforcement agencies of the State pursuant to the guidelines and regulations prescribed by law. The responsibility and authority for the collection and dissemination of UCR data is assigned to the Department of State Police in accordance with Public Safety Article, Section 2, Subsection 307 and 308, of the Annotated Code of Maryland. 1

7 PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES In keeping with the recommendation of the President s Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice, the Maryland UCR Program was planned for eventual growth into a complete and integrated offender based Criminal Justice Information System. Under this program, each offender arrested in Maryland is tracked through the entire criminal justice system from time of arrest, through the courts, to the correctional system where their exit (parole, expiration of sentence, etc.) will be recorded. In this manner, a complete criminal history on individual offenders will be available for use by the police, courts and correctional agencies in Maryland. In addition, statistical data derived from the CJIS Program will provide assistance in determining the overall efficiency of the Criminal Justice System in Maryland and will make effective management studies possible. The fundamental objectives of the Maryland UCR Program are: 1. Inform the Governor, legislature, other governmental officials and the public as to the nature, magnitude and trends of the crime problem in Maryland. 2. Provide law enforcement administrators with criminal statistics for administrative and operational use. 3. Determine who commits crimes by age, sex, race and other attributes in order to find the proper focus for crime prevention and enforcement. 4. Provide base data and statistics to measure the workload and effectiveness of Maryland s Criminal Justice System. 5. Provide base data and statistics to measure the effects of prevention and deterrence programs. 6. Provide base data and statistics for research to improve the efficiency, effectiveness and performance of criminal justice agencies. 7. Provide base data to assist in the assessment of social and other causes of crime for the development of theories of criminal behavior. 8. Provide the FBI with complete UCR data to be included in the national crime reports. REPORTING PROCEDURES Under the Maryland UCR Program, law enforcement agencies submit specified Uniform Crime Reports. The necessary information for each of the required reports is gathered from each agency s record of complaints, investigations and arrests. 2

8 Crime data and information is submitted monthly by state, county and municipal law enforcement agencies on the number of offenses known to them in the following crime categories: (1) Criminal Homicide (2) Forcible Rape (3) Robbery (4) Assault (5) Breaking or Entering (6) Larceny-Theft (7) Motor Vehicle Theft (8) Arson* The count of offenses is taken from the record of complaints received by law enforcement agencies. This information comes from victims, witnesses, other sources or discovered by law enforcement during their own operation. Complaints determined by subsequent investigation to be unfounded are eliminated from the count. The resulting number of actual offenses known to law enforcement agencies in these crime categories are reported without regard for whether anyone is arrested, stolen property is recovered, local prosecution policies or any other consideration. Reported offenses are recorded by the municipality and county in which they occur. Municipal law enforcement agencies report those crimes which occur within the cities and state. County agencies report those crimes which occur in the counties outside the cities. A supplemental report is also submitted each month showing the value of stolen and recovered property, the type of property and the type of offense within a crime category in which it was taken. This report also shows the number of stolen vehicles recovered locally and by other jurisdictions. In addition, each agency reports the number of persons arrested by them or other agencies for crimes which have occurred within their jurisdiction. The arrest report also shows the age, sex and race of those arrested and the disposition of juveniles by the arresting agency. When applicable, supplemental reports are submitted regarding the persons, weapons and circumstances, etc., involved in homicides, domestic violence incidents, officer assaults and carjackings. In addition, police employee data is collected on an annual basis. *Monthly arson reports are submitted for law enforcement agencies by the State Fire Marshal s Office and designated county agencies. 3

9 REVIEW PROCESS A major concern in the collection of crime statistics for law enforcement agencies throughout the state is the uniformity and accuracy of data received. Program aides, such as guides and instructional classes, do not necessarily guarantee the accuracy of the reports submitted by the contributor s, therefore, additional controls are necessary. Each report received by the UCR section is recorded, examined and reviewed for mathematical accuracy and possibly, more importantly, for reasonableness. The review process includes numerous checks to ensure the validity of information. The elimination of duplicate reporting by individual contributors receives particular attention. Minor errors are corrected by telephone contact with the contributors. Substantial variations and errors are adjusted through personal contacts. The personal contacts are invaluable to the accuracy and quality of reporting. Field Records Representatives are engaged in a constant educational effort, and as such, provide a vital link between the UCR Program and the contributor. POPULATION DATA The computation of crime rates, as they appear in this report by municipality, county and state are based on the latest available population estimates for the year. These population estimates are provided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation through the cooperation and assistance of the United States Bureau of Census. LIMITATIONS OF A UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING PROGRAM Information currently collected by the Maryland Program is generally the same as that gathered by the National System, and the methods of classifying and scoring offenses and arrests are the same. This readily enables comparisons with other states and with the nation, as a whole. However, there are limitations to the information collected which should be clearly understood before any conclusions are drawn from the UCR data presented in this report. The main goal of the UCR Program is to furnish police administrators with a measure of their activities and operational problems as indicated by the number of reported offenses, arrests, clearances, etc. A first step in the control of crime is to ascertain the true dimensions of the problem. However, present statistics, as gathered by the UCR Program, measure neither the real incidence of crime or the full amount of economic loss to victims. Information regarding number of offenses, clearances, value and type of property stolen and recovered property are collected only for the eight Part I offenses. For Part II offenses, the only information submitted is the number of arrests for these crimes. Consequently, there is no record of the actual number of these offenses occurring, or is there a calculation made for property loss. 4

10 The Crime Index does not explicitly take into account the varying degrees of seriousness of its seven components (excluding arson). Each crime receives the same weight as it is added to the index; consequently, an auto theft is counted the same as a murder and an aggravated assault is weighed equally with an attempted breaking or entering. Any review of crime must consider the volume, rate and trend of each offense that comprises the index and the relationship between these seven crimes*. The Maryland and National Uniform Crime Reporting Programs are designed to measure offenses committed and persons arrested. Difficulties can arise if this distinction is not kept clearly in mind. Crimes relate to events, arrests relate to persons. Unlike traffic violations where there is usually one event, violation and offender, a single criminal act can involve several crimes, offenders and victims. Relating specific crimes to a criminal or offense to evaluate characteristics of those arrested is generally beyond the scope of the present Uniform Crime Reporting Program. Juvenile crime and arrest statistics, because of their nature, are another area of misunderstanding. Many juvenile offenders are handled informally. As a consequence, inaccurate or incomplete recording of the event or action may result. Procedures for handling juveniles vary between departments more so than the handling of adult offenders. Furthermore, the degree of juvenile involvement in cleared offenses is probably seriously misunderstood because the juvenile clearance indicator is recorded only when juveniles are exclusively involved. When both adults and juveniles are subjects in a clearance, the juvenile participation is not reported. The preceding comments should not be viewed as an indictment of the Uniform Crime Reporting Program which, admittedly, is designed for the operational requirements of law enforcement agencies. While the current method of gathering and reporting crime and arrest data provide a less than complete picture of criminality in our society, the FBI has designed the National Incident Based Reporting System to address these limitations. *Arson is not used at this time in computing the Crime Index. 5

12 CRIME FACTORS Statistics compiled under the Uniform Crime Reporting Program from data submitted by Maryland law enforcement agencies projects a statewide view of crime. Awareness of the presence of certain crime factors, which may influence the resulting volume and type of statistics presented, is necessary if fair and equitable conclusions are to be drawn. These crime influencing factors are present to some degree in every community. Their presence affects in varying degrees the crime experience of that community. Attempts at comparison of crime figures between communities should not be made without first considering the individual factors present in each community. Crime, as an outgrowth of society, remains a social problem of grave concern. The police are limited in their role to its suppression and detection. As stated by the President s Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Criminal Justice in their report The Challenge of Crime in a Free Society ( Page 92): But the fact that the police deal daily with crime does not mean that they have unlimited power to prevent it, or reduce it, or deter it. The police did not create and cannot resolve the social conditions that stimulate crime. They did not start and cannot stop the convulsive social changes that are taking place in America. They do not enact the laws that they are required to enforce, nor do they dispose of the criminals they arrest. The police are only one part of the criminal justice system; the criminal justice system is only one part of the government; and the government is only one part of society. In so far as crime is a social phenomenon, crime prevention is the responsibility of every part of society. The criminal process is limited to case by case operations, one criminal or one crime at a time. Listed below are some of the conditions which affect the type and volume of crime that occurs from place to place: Density and size of the community population and the metropolitan area of which it is a part. Composition of the population with particular reference to age, sex and race. Economic status of the population. Relative stability of the population including number and ratio of seasonal visitors, residents, commuters and other transients. Climate and seasonal weather conditions. Educational, recreational and religious characteristics. Standards governing appointments to the police force. 7

13 Policies of the prosecuting officials and the courts. Attitude of the public toward law enforcement problems. The administrative and investigative efficiency of the local law enforcement agency, including the degree of adherence to crime reporting standards. Organization and cooperation of adjoining and overlapping police jurisdictions. 8

14 CRIME INDEX OFFENSES The crime counts listed in this publication are actual offenses established by police investigation. When police receive a complaint of a crime and the follow-up investigation discloses no crime occurred, it is unfounded. In 2013, police investigations that were unfounded represented one percent of the complaints concerning index offenses. When comparing individual index offenses to the number reported, unfounded offenses ranged from less than one percent in the larceny-theft category to 16 percent in the rape category, the same as in A total of 185,422 actual Index Offenses were reported to law enforcement agencies in Maryland during the calendar year This represents a decrease of two percent when compared to the 2012 total of 189,816 Crime Index Offenses. In this publication, the calculations for averages may not add to the total due to rounding. An analysis of Index Offenses by month in 2013 shows that August had the highest frequency of occurrence, and February had the lowest, the same as in The Crime Index Offenses represent the most common problem to law enforcement. They are serious crimes by their nature, volume, or frequency of occurrence. They are categorized as Violent Crimes, which includes Murder, Forcible Rape, Robbery and Aggravated Assault, or as Property Crimes, which includes Breaking or Entering, Larceny- Theft and Motor Vehicle Theft. VIOLENT CRIME Violent Crimes involve the element of personal confrontation between the perpetrator and the victim; consequently, they are considered more serious than Property Crimes because of their very nature. These offenses accounted for 15 percent of the total Crime Index for 2013 the same as in Violent Crime decreased one percent when compared to PROPERTY CRIME The number of Property Crimes reported during 2013 was more than five times greater than the number of Violent Crimes reported. As a group, Property Crimes made up 85 percent of the total Crime Index in 2013 the same as in Property Crime decreased two percent when compared to

15 RATES Crime Rates relate the incidence of crime to the resident population. Many other factors, which may contribute to the volume and type of crime in a given jurisdiction, are not incorporated here, but are shown in the section entitled, Crime Factors. In 2013, the Crime Rate for Maryland was 3,127.5 victims for every 100,000 population. This represents a three percent decrease in the crime rate when compared to the 2012 rate of 3, The 2013 Crime Rate for the Violent Crime group was victims per 100,000 inhabitants, a two percent decrease compared with the 2012 rate of The Property Crime group had a rate of 2,659.9 victims, a three percent decrease when compared to the 2012 rate of 2, CLEARANCES For Uniform Crime Reporting purposes, a crime is cleared when police have identified the offender, have evidence to charge the person and actually take them into custody. Solutions of crimes are also recorded in exceptional instances where some element beyond police control precludes formal charges against the offender, such as the victim s refusal to prosecute or local prosecution is declined because the subject is being prosecuted elsewhere for a crime committed in another jurisdiction. The arrest of one person can clear several crimes or several persons may be arrested in the process of solving one crime. Maryland Law Enforcement Agencies cleared 26 percent of all Index Offenses reported to them in 2013, the same as in Violent Crimes recorded a 54 percent clearance rate in 2013, compared to a 55 percent clearance rate in The Property Crime group experienced a 21 percent clearance rate in 2013, the same as in Considered individually, the 2013 Violent Crime clearance rate was determined to be 66 percent of the Murders, 46 percent of the Rapes, 36 percent of the Robberies and 66 percent of the Aggravated Assaults. The Property Crime clearance rates were 16 percent for Breaking or Entering, 24 percent for Larceny-Theft and 10 percent for Motor Vehicle Theft. The relatively high clearance rate for Violent Crimes as compared to Non-Violent Property Crimes is in part attributable to the volume difference between the two. Property Crime volume is much greater than that of Violent Crime, and police investigation of Violent Crime is usually more intense. 10

16 JUVENILE CLEARANCES A Juvenile Clearance is the clearance of an offense in which all of the offenders involved were under the age of 18. If one of the offenders was over 17 years of age, the clearance of that offense is not considered a Juvenile Clearance. In 2013, such Juvenile Clearances represented 13 percent of all clearances, the same as in Juvenile Clearances in the Violent Crime category represented 11 percent of the total cleared in 2013, the same as in The clearance rates in Violent Crimes are: Homicide four percent, Rape ten percent, Robbery 17 percent and Aggravated Assault nine percent. In the Property Crime category, clearances involving Juvenile offenders represented 13 percent of the total cases cleared in 2013, compared to 14 percent in The clearance rates in Property Crimes are: Burglary 12 percent, Larceny-Theft 13 percent and Motor Vehicle Theft 20 percent. STOLEN PROPERTY VALUES The total value of Property Stolen during 2013 was $245,614,491 which represents six percent decrease from Recovered Property amounted to $62,381,555 which is 25 percent of the total stolen, resulting in a $183,232,936 property loss to victims in the State of Maryland during This property loss represents a decrease of five percent when compared to the property loss in

56 DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

57 DOMESTIC VIOLENCE BACKGROUND The Domestic Violence Act of 1994 mandated that all law enforcement agencies in Maryland submit copies of incident reports involving domestic violence to the Maryland State Police. The Maryland Uniform Crime Reporting Program created a revised Domestic Violence (formerly known as Battered Spouse) data collection form. The new form allowed for the collection of more data based upon a revised definition of a domestic violence incident under the Maryland Uniform Crime Reporting Program guidelines. In 2012, HB1146/SB647 Domestically Related Crimes was signed into law to help improve the recording and tracking of domestic violence crimes. Maryland does not have a distinct crime of domestic violence, therefore, the new law helps law enforcement, advocates, prosecutors and judges better protect domestic violence victims and set more appropriate conditions for abusers. To better align with Maryland Law, the Maryland Uniform Crime Reporting Program expanded the definition of domestic violence to include ten additional relationships in calendar year Prior to 2013, the only reported relationships between domestic violence victims and offenders were husband, wife and cohabitant. The title of the reporting program was also changed to the Maryland Domestically Related Crime Reporting Program. Under the Maryland Uniform Crime Reporting Program the definition for a domestically related crime mirrors HB1146/SB647: any crime committed by a suspect (respondent) against a victim who is a person eligible for relief, as defined in of the Family Law Article or who had a sexual relationship with the suspect within 12 months before the commission of the crime. This also includes homosexual relationships. A person eligible for relief, as defined in of the Family Law Article includes: The current or former spouse of the respondent; A cohabitant of the respondent ; A person related to the respondent by blood, marriage, or adoption; A parent, stepparent, child, or stepchild of the respondent or the person eligible for relief who resides or resided with the respondent or person eligible for relief for at least 90 days within 1 year before the filing of the petition; A vulnerable adult; An individual who has a child in common with the respondent. Prior to 1996, the statistical information collected was restricted to assaults to a domestic partner and excluded individuals of the same sex who were in an intimate relationship and who are cohabiting or have cohabited. The additional information now collected provides a more comprehensive report. 52

58 DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CRIMES Based on the previous definition of domestic violence, there were a total of 16,817 domestic violence crimes reported statewide in 2013, as compared to 17,615 crimes in This represents a 4.5 percent decrease in the number of domestic violence crimes. Due to the improved recording and tracking made possible by the 2012 legislation, an additional 10,968 domestically related crimes were reported in 2013, representing the inclusion of more types of domestic relationships. The breakdown is as follows: 30,000 DOMESTIC VIOLENCE Total Number of Domestic Violence Incidents under the Previous Definition of Domestic Violence 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5, *2013 RELATIONSHIPS Domestic violence reporting includes the nature of the victim s relationship with his or her abuser.

64 CLEARANCES There are two ways of clearing a case. One is by making an arrest and charging the person(s) with the offense. The second is known as an exceptional clearance. Exceptional clearance means the police know the identity and location of the person(s) who committed the offense and have enough information to arrest them. However, there is some reason beyond their control that prevents them from making the arrest. The arrest and exceptional clearances reported reflect the disposition at the time the domestic violence report form was forwarded to the Uniform Crime Reporting Program. These reports are not updated; therefore, other arrests and exceptional clearances may occur, but would not be reflected in the following totals *2013 Arrest 8,772 8,615 8,590 8,058 11,098 Exceptional 5,596 5,374 5,644 4,677 8,649 Unknown 4,188 3,942 3,975 4,880 8,038 TOTAL 18,556 17,931 18,209 17,615 *27,785 During 2013, 71 percent of all domestic violence cases were cleared.

The definition is: Carjacking is a robbery or attempted robbery where the primary objective is to obtain the victim s motor vehicle and the victim is in the vehicle or in very close proximity to the vehicle. In 2013, there were 330 carjackings representing a 30 percent decrease over the 473 carjackings reported in Additionally, 68 Motor vehicle robberies were reported that did not meet the carjacking definition, including 2 unfounded carjackings. VICTIMS There were 358 victims of carjackings reported in By gender, the 358 victims of carjackings were made up of 68 percent male and 32 percent female.

114 ARREST DATA

115 ARREST DATA The Maryland Uniform Crime Reporting Program requires the submission of monthly reports of persons arrested in the State. A record of arrest activity for both Part I and Part II crimes are received from state, county and municipal law enforcement agencies showing the age, sex and race of persons arrested. Traffic arrests, except Driving While Intoxicated, are not reported. A total of 245,505 arrests for Part I and Part II criminal offenses were reported during In 2012, there were 260,783 arrests which represent s a six percent decrease. Based on 2013 population estimates, there were 4,140.9 arrests per 100,000 of population in Maryland. The arrest rate for 2012 was 4,431.6, representing a seven percent arrest rate decrease. A person is counted on the monthly arrest report each time they are arrested. This means that a person may be arrested several times during a given month and would be counted each time. However, a person is counted only once each time regardless of the number of crimes or charges involved. A juvenile is counted as arrested when the circumstances are such that, if the juvenile was an adult, an arrest would have been counted or when police or other official action is taken beyond a mere interview, warning or admonishment. Arrest figures do not indicate the number of individuals arrested or summoned since, as stated above, one person may be arrested several times during the month. However, arrest information is useful in measuring the extent of law enforcement activities in a given geographic area, as well as providing an index for measuring the involvement in criminal acts by the age, sex and race of perpetrators. During 2013, 18 percent of all reported arrests were for Crime Index Offenses, the same as in Analysis of Crime Index Arrest Data indicates that larceny-theft comprised the highest percentage of all arrests for Crime Index Offenses, with 56 percent of the total in The drug abuse, other assaults, driving under the influence and disorderly conduct categories recorded the highest percentage of arrests for Part II offenses. These offenses accounted for 52 percent of the total arrests for Part II offenses in YEAR TREND 5 YEAR AVERAGE Juvenile 35,151 28,275 30,257 35,510 39,964 41,747 Adult 230, , , , , ,041 TOTAL 265, , , , , ,

196 LAW ENFORCEMENT EMPLOYEE DATA

197 LAW ENFORCEMENT EMPLOYEE DATA POLICE EMPLOYEE DATA The Uniform Crime Reporting Program in Maryland incorporates the collection of pertinent data relating to the police of the State. Information regarding police employee strength is discussed in this section. This information is submitted by county, municipal and state law enforcement agencies and compiled on an annual basis. Specific information concerning the number of law enforcement employees reflects the status as of October 31, LAW ENFORCEMENT EMPLOYEE RATES In 2013, the average number of full-time law enforcement employees (state, county and municipal) including civilian employees, amounted to 3.5 for each 1,000 inhabitants of the State. In 2012 the average number of full-time law enforcement employees including civilian employees, amounted to 3.4 for each 1,000 inhabitants of the state. The rate based on sworn personnel only amounted to 2.7 per 1,000 in population, the same as in The ratio of law enforcement employees per 1,000 population in any given area or municipality is influenced by a number of factors, much the same as the crime rate. The determination of law enforcement strength for a given county or municipality is based on factors such as population density, size and character of the community, geographic location, proximity to metropolitan areas and other conditions which exist in the area generating the need for law enforcement services. Employee rates also differ among agencies since in particular there is a wide variation of the responsibilities and level of activity within various law enforcement agencies. The information in this section relates to reported police employee strength and should not be interpreted as recommended strength for any area. CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES The personnel of each law enforcement agency differ as to the demands and responsibilities placed before them. Many police officers are fully occupied with clerical tasks and are not free to perform active police duties. Some police administrators use civilians in this capacity, thus freeing the sworn personnel for actual police-related services. As of October 31, 2013, 4,714 or 23 percent of the total number of police employees in Maryland were civilian. 192
