The Carroll Board of County Commissioners are now accepting applications for members of the county’s new police accountability board and administrative charging committee. Online applications are due by 4:30 p.m., June 17.
Carroll County commissioners on Tuesday released a proposed $708.4 million fiscal 2023 budget, which includes a 22.3% increase to salaries, including pension and payroll costs, for the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office. That is on top of a 14% increase for the sheriff’s office in fiscal 2022.
Though Carroll County’s sheriff and commissioners said they don’t believe the county needs a police accountability board, they are charged by the state with creating one by July 1. On Thursday, they began debating who may be chosen to serve on the board.
