| Harford County, Maryland Sheriff Jeff Gahler |
Sheriffs from 11 counties across Maryland have endorsed an anti-crime agenda proposed by the Joint Republican Caucus in the Maryland General Assembly, and are calling on Democrats in Annapolis to back the five-point plan. The agenda would increase penalties for violent criminals and extend their prison sentences, deny bail for repeat offenders, make the theft of a firearm a felony, reverse the ban on traffic stop searches when officers smell marijuana in the vehicle, and "correct recent misguided laws" to restore accountability for juvenile offenders who commit serious crimes. Passage of the plan was endorsed yesterday by the elected sheriffs of Allegheny County, Caroline County, Carroll County, Cecil County, Frederick County, Harford County, Queen Anne's County, Talbot County, Washington County, Wicomico County and Worcester County.
"Maryland is in a crime crisis," Maryland Republican Party Chair Nicole Beus Harris said in a statement. "While Governor Wes Moore and the rest of the Democrat Leadership deny this fact, pass laws that make the problem worse, or propose modest changes that won’t make a difference, the Republican lawmakers in Annapolis have a comprehensive plan to make Maryland safer. No one understands this crime crisis or the need for statutory changes better than our state’s law enforcement, and that is reflected in the support these top Sheriffs have given to the GOP Public Safety Agenda."
"Whether misinformed or willfully ignorant to the consequences legislated over the last few years, law-abiding citizens, the overwhelming majority of Marylanders, do not support the cruelty they have had to endure due to our elected officials granting clemency to the guilty," Harford County Sheriff Jeff Gahler said Friday. "Their political correctness does not make us safer; it only generates intolerance and hatred. Those legislators seeking to delegitimize the rule of law, and tear down law enforcement, have recklessly and deliberately caused avoidable harm to all Maryland citizens. Now is the time to shield and protect our communities from the very few among us who seek to cause us harm."

Boo Hoo. We can't do our jobs if we have to live up to the motto of protect and serve. Give us back our post-911 glory days of having full immunity to stomp on the civil liberties of those we're tasked to serve.
Good luck with that. He doesn't have a snowballs chance.
Great idea. Why aren't Montgomery, Baltimore, Howard, and Frederick county on-board though?
Notice Montgomery County is missing :(
Gee, which county is missing....?
So that's why most criminals vote Democrat.
Elrich and Co are too busy putting up "Benvienedos" banners to trifle with all that nonsense.
11:26 PM Yes, but Montgomery County leads leagues ahead in the dog leash laws!
The counties that are missing are actively inviting crime.
7:06 is here to demonstrate the voting model that got us here.
Our bold leaders have managed to rewrite Maryland's Motto: Parole Maschii, Fatti Femine
2:19 AM I believe that they are present at every type of banner ceremony.
In addition to Montgomery, these counties are not on that list:
-Anne Arundel
-Baltimore
-Baltimore City
-Calvert
-Charles
-Dorchester
-Garrett
-Howard
-Kent
-St. Mary’s
-Prince Georges
Most rural or already lost.
The existing crime model is a boom for the local economy.
The psychology of fear and uncertainty creates jobs in a plethora of fields such as
medical, legal, insurance, news media, security and self-protection.
Now 12:24 has a glass-half-full take on crime because liberals can't actually do anything like enforce the law.
5:57 AM That is the catalyst for reelecting liberals.
