Retiree Health Care Subsidy Case Update

fopAdmin — Mon, 20 May 2013 19:52:46 +0000

On May 17, 2013 The FOP’s “Motion to Enforce” against Baltimore County in the Retiree Subsidy case was heard in Baltimore County Circuit Court in front of Judge Finifter.

The hearing lasted about an hour.The County has ten (10) days to file its closing brief and the FOP has ten (10) days to respond.

It appears as though the County is attempting to either avoid or delay any resolution in this matter. The County has thus far ignored the Arbitrator, Circuit Court, Court of Special Appeals and Court of Appeals’ order in the Retiree Subsidy case and has not cooperated with our counsel in returning the affected employees to their proper health care subsidies or worked with our counsel to reimburse those who were affected.

The Lodge will disseminate any additional information as it becomes available.

fopAdmin — Sat, 11 May 2013 16:00:30 +0000

Authorities say the woman drew a handgun on officer

Baltimore County police say they shot a woman in Pikesville early Saturday after she pulled a handgun on an officer.

According to a news release, the officer was called to the 3100 block of North Brook Road before 2 a.m. to investigate a report of a suspicious person and saw a woman throw a rock at a house, breaking a window.

The woman allegedly drew a handgun, and police said the officer repeatedly ordered her to drop, then shot her multiple times in the upper body. Police have not identified the officer or the suspect, but said she was at a local hospital and in serious condition.

Embattled police chief in Anne Arundel County resigns

fopAdmin — Tue, 07 May 2013 22:05:22 +0000

Tolliver says decision not motivated by investigations

By Pamela Wood, The Baltimore Sun

Anne Arundel County’s police chief, Larry Tolliver, announced his resignation Tuesday.

“I am resigning today because the department needs a chief who can focus solely on the department’s mission, something that is challenging to do in the current environment,” Tolliver wrote in a statement.

Tolliver said his resignation, which will be effective May 21, was not motivated by a recent investigation into allegations that he used anti-gay slurs and retaliated against officers by changing their work assignments.

“Although it is contemporaneous with these events, my return to retirement is not stimulated by the widely reported recent complaint,” Tolliver said.

He also said his decision was not influenced by the fact that County Executive Laura Neuman is bringing in officers from Harford County and Montgomery County to investigate Anne Arundel’s department.

Former County Executive John R. Leopold brought Tolliver out of retirement last summer to lead the county’s police department. He took over for James Teare, who resigned amid an investigation into Leopold’s use of his police security detail for personal and political activities.

Leopold ultimately was convicted of misconduct in office and resigned. He served 30 days in jail.
