As Chief of the nationally accredited Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) Police Force, I have been entrusted with significant responsibility. This is not a responsibility that I take lightly, and I vow to be a role model for my command staff and officers, who protect vital transportation assets and the citizens who use them every day.
Comprised of approximately 500 sworn officers and more than 100 civilian support employees, the MDTA Police is Maryland’s second largest statewide law enforcement agency and the seventh largest overall. Our mission is to provide Safety, Security and Service to the citizens and visitors who use major transportation infrastructure across the State, including the Fort McHenry and Baltimore Harbor Tunnels; the Chesapeake Bay, Francis Scott Key, Thomas J. Hatem Memorial, and Governor Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridges; the Intercounty Connector/MD 200; the Port of Baltimore; the World Trade Center; and BWI Marshall Airport. |
