Maryland Lawmakers Want to Stop Criminal Cops From Getting Their Pensions
"A former Maryland park ranger was arrested and indicted in September for allegedly raping two of his female colleagues. But despite the grim crime he’s accused of, he’s still been allowed to collect nearly $95,000 of his pension as he awaits trial in jail.
Now, two state lawmakers are hoping to pass legislation to prevent police officers from receiving retirement benefits after being convicted of a felony crime.
“Nobody wants to pay for police misconduct and still have the police receive those pensions,” Baltimore State Sen. Jill Carter, a Democrat, told the Baltimore Banner.
Maryland is one of 24 states that have no pension forfeiture laws on the books, meaning that any law enforcement officer who has a pension—even if they’ve been convicted of a crime—is allowed to collect it once they are 55 years old and have served more than 15 years in the job."
