Request for Your Agency's 2022 Roster & Salary Data (Howard County Police Department)

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Maryland Public Information Act, I hereby request the following records for every sworn officer and civilian member of the Howard County Police Department for fiscal year 2022:
1. First and last name;
2. Unique sequence number;
3. Race;
4. Gender;
5. Hire date;
6. 2022 salary;
7. 2022 overtime

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. Alternatively, please consider waiving any fees, pursuant to § 4-206(e)(2)(ii) of the General Provisions Article, as this request is on behalf of individuals served by the Maryland Office of the Public Defender, a state government agency, which solely serves indigent citizens of Maryland. As a result, my request for the above-listed public records is in the public interest. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Deborah Levi
Director of Special Litigation
Maryland Office of the Public Defender
(443) 272-1068

Thank you for your response and for fulfilling the majority of our request so quickly! Would it be too much trouble to give us each officer's base salary, their actual (regular) earnings for 2022 and then separately any overtime they made during 2022?
