Purpose of trial boards: 

• The trial boards are responsible for adjudicating matters in which a police officer is subject to disciplinary action.
• Due to the large number of law enforcement agencies in Prince George’s County, county law states that the County Executive shall establish a roster of ten judge members to serve on a trial board, according to the county executive's newsletter. 
• The trial boards were established as part of House bill 670, one of several bills under the Police Accountability Act, which passed the Maryland legislature in 2021 and went into effect in July 2022.

More information:

• According to the county website, the Office of Professional Responsibility and Legal Affairs within the Department of Corrections currently conducts trial boards.
