The Maryland Public Safety and Policing Work Group spent hours discussing a list of recommendations that will be passed on to House and Senate leadership for action during the upcoming General Assembly session that starts Wednesday.
Vince Canales, president of the Fraternal Order of Police, says he has some concerns about the call for routine mental health screenings. He called that provision “a bit of a reach.”
Canales says right now “agencies definitely have the ability to send an officer for an evaluation if they see there’s a situation that presents itself.” Also, he had concerns about the privacy of medical records. But overall, Canales said, “we’re not prepared to sit and say one way or the other that we’re fighting anything just yet. We want to see what the actual bills look like.”
