Law Enforcement - Records of Administrative Investigation - Expungement

SB 762 requires Maryland law enforcement agencies to expunge administrative investigation records for police officers who are cleared by an administrative charging committee. Specifically, it mandates that records related to misconduct investigations - such as complaints and internal records - must be removed from public access three years after the committee decides not to file administrative charges. This applies only to officers who face no disciplinary action, not to those found guilty of misconduct. The bill changes existing law to allow this expungement, ensuring cleared officers' records are no longer publicly visible after the three-year period.
