I. POLICY
The department is committed to reducing all illegal activity within Anne Arundel County, including crimes
committed by illegal aliens and the criminal enterprise of illegal aliens initiated by breach of federal law pertaining
to legal residency. This reduction will be accomplished by:
A. Cooperating with federal immigration authorities as requested aodier in response to local matters,
B. Establishing legal authority to enforce immigration law with the proper federal authority.
C. Responding to citizen and community requests for action regarding illegal aliens, and
D. Proactively assessing legality of employment through a combination of. document & benefit fraud
investigations and worksite enforcement.
Pursuant to the Immigration and Nationality Act and regulations promulgated by the Attorney General and the
Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, only officers and employees of U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) and certain ,specifically designated local law enforcement officers may arrest persons for being
in this country illegally.
Pursuant to this policy. officers shall attempt to establish positive identification of all detainees before release. to
include immigration status of individuals who willingly admit, or are reasonably believed or suspected to be in the
United States illegally. Procedures for handling foreign government officials and claims of diplomatic immunity are
enumerated in Index Code 2001.1.
Public Safety along with strong community support and trust in the agency are enhanced when crime victims
and witnesses file police reports and feel free of reprisal when contacting the police department. Therefore,
crime victims and witnesses will not be subjected to immigration inquiries as a matter of routine.
II. PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to establish procedures to be followed when contacting. and/or executing an arrest of,
an illegal alien. These procedures are to ensure that members of the department maintain consistency and properly
aid in the enforcement of federal laws regarding undocumented persons. Although immigration enforcement is
vested in federal authority, ioeal law enforcement has an increasing role in identifying, investigating, and
apprehending persons who may be in violation of federal immigration law-particularly those who commit other
violations of law.
Members of the department will always provide equal enforcement of the law, regardless of immigration status.
Racial profiling, the practice of stopping, detaining, or searching a person based solely on factors such as race,
gender, age. COIOf. or ethnicity is strictly prohibited.
Ill. DEFINITIONS

IV. PROCEDURES
A. Member Responsibilities
Officers shall obtain the full identity of any person who is lawfully detained or arrested for a violation -of state law or
Anne Arundel County ordinance. Based upon the circumstances, this may include inquiring as to the citizenship or
immigration status of the person(s). Officers shall also remain cognizant at all times of the legal justification to
continue the detention of a person by standards of legally permissible length of detention based on the circumstance.
When a subject is taken into custody and processed through the department's nonnal booking procedures,
policelbooking officers shall attempt to verify the subject's immigration status. During the nonnal booking process,
policelbooking officers shall obtain a place of birth from the subject and ask ifhim or her if they are a legal resident
of the United States,
a. The officer reasonably believes the subject is a foreign national and an illegal alien,
b. The officer is unable to verify the identity of the foreign national subject, or
c. The foreign national subject provides false identification.
2. The LESe will respond to the booklOg ofticer's query with the ICE status of the foreign nationai subject in
question, in one of five manners:
e. Notification that no records were found regarding the subject, thus additional information would be needed
to determine their legal status.
3. Officers will make all appropriate notifications to the local ICE office based upon the information received
from the LESC check (Section D). Any request made by ICE officials, which would deviate from the normal
booking. release or court official review process, must be approved by a supervisor.
D. Notification to ICE
If continnation of an outstanding ICE administrative warrant of removal for an ICE fugitive or alien absconder is
received through the LESC query, a fonnal notification shall be made by the LESC 24/7 to the local ICE Baltimore
Detention and Removal Office (DRO) Duty Officer. The ICE DRO Duty Officer will then contact the officer for
follow up on the subject. If an officer encounters a problem contacting the local ICE DRO Duty Officer, a follow up
call must be placed to the LESC at 1-877-999-5372. Officers should make a note of the time of each notification
and to whom they spoke.
If ccnfirmation of any other type of illegal immigration status is received through the LESC query, or the LESC
cannot confinn the legal status of an individual, a fonnal notification shall be made to the local ICE Baltimore
Office of Investigations (01) Duty Agent 24/7 at 1-800-973-2867 (SECTOR Communications) and ask for the ICE
SAC Baltimore Duty Agent. If an officer encounters a problem notifying the duty ICE agent, a second call must he
placed to the aforementioned contact numbers, this time requesting the ICE Supervisory Special Agent of the Duty
Agent be notified.
A copy of all reports relating the arrest and/or criminal investigation involving illegal or suspected illegal aliens will
be forwarded to the Homeland Security Unit within 24 hours. The Homeland Security Unit will coordinate all
follow-up investigations through the departmental ICE Task Force officer and/or District ICE representatives.
a. If a subject is taken into custody on state and/or local criminal charge(s) and an active ICE outstanding
administrative warrant of removal is verified through NCIC and the LESC, or the arrestinglbooking officer has
received confirmation from the LESC that the subject is an alien absconder, the LESe will place a detainer and will
contact the ICE Baltimore DRO Duty Officer to notify them of the subject's detention. The ICE DRO Duty Officer
will contact the arresting officer to follow up on subject(s) detention. If the commissioner places a bond on the
subject(s), the detainer received from the LESC will follow the subject to the detention center. If the subjcct is
released on their personal recognizance, the officer will transport the subject back to the district station and contact
the ICE DRO Duty Officer to arrange for pick up of the subject.
b. If a subject is lawfully detained and determined to have an active ICE outstanding administrative warrant
of removal verified through NCIC and the LESC, or the arresting/booking oftlcer has received confirmation tram
the LESC that the subject is an alien absconder, the officer will take the subject into custody and follow the normal
process for executing an arrest warrant. The LESC will contact the ICE ORO Duty Officer to notify them of the
subject's detention. The LESC will then fax a detainer to the district station and will also fax a copy of the detainer
to' the ICE DRO Office. The lCE DRO Duty Officer will contact the arresting officer to follow up on subject(s)
detention and arrange for pick up.
2. The following procedures will be followed for individuals for whom the arresting officer has received
confinnation from the LESC of their illegal status in the United States:
If a subject is taken into custody on state andlor local criminal charge(s) and an LESC check reveals the subject to
be an illegal alien, the arresting officer will contact the local ICE 01 Duty Agent and provide all appropriate
identification on the subject in order for the ICE 01 Duty Agent to confirm the subject's illegal status. In these
situations, ICE 01 local policy only allows a detainer to be sent once the subject has been brought before the district
court commissioner on the original state or local charge. If the commissioner places a bond on the subject, the ICE
01 Duty Agent will have a detainer sent via fax to the detention center. It is the arresting officer's responsibility to
notify the ICE 01 Duty Agent if the subject has been transported to the detention center on bond. If the subject is
released on their personal recognizance, the officer will transport the subject back to the district station and notify
the ICE 01 Duty Agent. The ICE 01 Duty Agent will provide a verbal request for detention of the subject until he
or she can make the pick-up.
1. ICE has committed to the police department to respond to pick-up subjects under their jurisdiction, who
have been released on their personal recognizance by the commissioner or otherwise not subject to state or local
criminal charges, within 4-6 hours. At the request of ICE officials, patrol supervisors may authorize the transport of
subjects in custody under an ICE detainer or verbal request to be transported to the local Baltimore ICE office
located at 31 Hopkins Plaza, Baltimore, MD 2120I .
2. District station holding facilities are designed for temporary detention only. Any subject(s) who is being
detained for the sole purpose of pick up by the ICE Duty Agent, will not be held beyond 12 hours. Should a
problem arise where ICE officials are unable to respond to a district station to pick up a subject and arrangements
cannot be made to transport the subject to the Baltimore ICE office, the subject will be reieased after 12 hours of
detention. Patrol supervisors will make every attempt to contact the 01 Duty Agent's supervisor or the DRO Duty
Officer's supervisor (depending on the circumstances) prior to releasing the subject to arrange for a final pick-up. If
ICE officials are unable to meet the 12 hour deadline, the subject will be released frqm custody. Release will occur
only after the subject has been fingerprinted, photographed and a valid current address has been determined. Patrol
supervisors will complete a supplement report identifying ICE officials whom they spoke to and attempts made to
arrange pick-up. A copy of all reports and identifying information will be forwarded to the Commander of the
Homeland Security Unit to coordinate a follow-up investigation with ICE.
G. Limited Enforcement
The department has no legal authority to independently enforce Federal Immigration Laws; therefore, police may
not arrest persons based solely on illegal' alien status. When there is cause to believe that a person, who has
otherwise not committed a crime, may be an illegal alien, a Field Interview Report (FIR) shall be completed and
forwarded to the Crime Analysis Unit and to the Homeland Security Unit.
H. Worksite Enforcement
Worksite enforcement mitigates the potential risk of criminal. unscrupulous and terrorist activities presented through
illegal. undocumented and unauthorized workers employed in secure areas of the country's infrastructure; such as,
airports, defense facilities, power plants and other sensitive facilities. Proactive enforcement will not only promote
security and ensure fair labor standards, but also deter employers from knowingly employing illegal aliens.
Designated officers will carry out this function by participating on the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) Document and Benefit Fraud Task Force. A major component of these Task Force investigations \Viii include
assessing the authenticity of documents used to establish employment eligibility and benefits.

The Anne Arundel County Police Department is a participating member of the Immigration and Custom:;
Enforcement (ICE) 'Document Benefit Fraud Task Force'. The Anne Arundel County Police Department has one
fuU-time investigator (TFO: Mendoza # 1358) assigned to this Task Force Group. Based on the fesUlts of a recent
investigation, the Anne Arundel County Police Department is requesting a percentage of the net proceeds resulting
from the seizme.
In January 2007, (ICE) Special Agents from the SAC Baltimore initiated an investigation after receiving
infonnation that Annapolis Painting Services, located in Annapolis, MD, was employing undocumented workers.
The information suggested that the owner of the company pays these workers by check, deducts 1/3 of their gross
pay. and tells the und()QJmented workers that the deductions are fOf taxes which will be due after they receive their
green cards. The information also indicated that the owner does not pay overtime and pays the undocumented
workers straight time regardless of the hours or days of the week the work was performed.
Investigative findings indicate that Roberto Bontempo, owner of the Annapolis Painting Services, is
employing 35 undocumented workers and harboring these aliens at residences owned by him. A financial review of
the business/personal bank accounts indicate that Roberto Bontempo and his wife, Rebecca Bontempo, are
laundering proceeds from the employment on undocumented workers through the business account to pay various
assets, to include real estate, vehicles and investment accounts, which are proceeds from the illegal activity: with
eight properties, and eleven vehicles being used to facilitate the illegal activity.

The AIU1e Arundel County Police Department is a participating member of the Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICC) 'DOCUinti1t Bl:udil Fraud Task Force'. The Anne Arundel County Police Department has one
full-time investigator (TFO: Mendoza # 1358) assigned to this Task Force Group. Based on the results of a recent
investigation, the Anne Arundel County Police Department is requesting a percentage of the net proceeds resulting
from the seizure.
In January 2007, (ICE) Special Agents from the SAC Baltimore initiated an investigation after receiving
infonnation that Annapolis Painting Services, located in Annapolis, MD, was employing undocumented workers.
The information suggested that the owner of the company pays these workers by check, deducts 1/3 of their gross
pay, and tells the undocumented workers that the deductions are for taxes which will be due after they receive their
green cards. The information also indicated that the owner does not pay overtime and pays the undocumented
workers straight time regardless of the hours or days of the week the work was performed.
Investigative findings indicate that Roberto Bontempo, owner of the Annapolis Painting Services, is
employing 35 undocumented workers and harboring these aliens at residences owned by him. A financial review of
the business/personal bank accounts indicate that Roberto Bontempo and his wife, Rebecca Bontempo, are
laundering proceeds from the employment on undocumented workers through the business account to pay various
assets, to include real estate, vehicles and investment accounts, which are proceeds from the illegal activity: with
eight properties, and eleven vehicles being used to facilitate the illegal activity.

The Anne Arundel County Police Department is a participating member of the Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) 'Document Benefit Fraud Task Force'. The Anne Arundel County Police Department has one
full-time investigator (TFO : Mendoza # 1358) assigned to this Task Force Group. Based on the results of a recent
investigation, the Anne Arunde 1 County Pol ice Department is requesting a percentage of the net proceeds resulting
from the seizure.
In January 2007, (ICE) Special Agents from the SAC Baltimore initiated an investigation after receiving
information that Annapolis Painting Services, located in Annapolis, MD, was employing undocumented workers.
The information suggested that the owner of the company pays these workers by check, deducts 1/3 of their gross
pay, and tells the undocumented workers that the deductions are for taxes which will be due after they receive their
green cards. The information also indicated that the owner does not pay overtime and pays the undocumented
workers straight time regardless of the hours or days of the week the work was performed.
Investigative findings indicate that Roberto Bontempo, owner of the Annapolis Painting Services, is
employing 35 undocumented workers and harboring these aliens at residences owned by him . A financial review of
the business/personal bank accounts indicate that Roberto Bontempo and his wife, Rebecca Bontempo, are
laundering proceeds from the employment on undocumented workers through the business account to pay various
assets, to include real estate, vehicles and investment accounts, which are proceeds from the illegal activity: with
eight properties, and eleven vehicles being used to facilitate the illegal activity.

Anne Arundel County homicide detectives are investigating the beating of an unidentified man
who was hospitalized in critical condition with life-threatening injuries yesterday.
Police said that about 4:50 a.m. Tuesday, a man flagged down police on routine patrol in the
Pioneer City area near Fort Meade and said he had been beaten and robbed after leaving a
friend's house.
The man led police to the victim, who was unresponsive, police said. He had suffered apparent
trauma to the upper body, and was taken to Maryland Shock Trauma Center. < /P>
The robbery victim told police that at 4:20 a.m., he went to the 1600 block of Meade Village
Circle to visit a friend and that, as he left, he was forced to the ground by two men with
handguns.
He said the gunmen assaulted and robbed him. After they left, he told police, he went to flag
down officers.
Police were working to identify the beating victim and notify his relatives.
Police asked anyone with information to call the county's anonymous tip line at 410-923-4543.
•The American Board of Clinical Lipidology has awarded Dr. Louis B. Malinow diplomate status,
which certifies him as a specialist in the diagnosis and treatment of cholesterol disorders.
Malinow, of the internal medicine departments at Northwest Hospital Center and Sinai Hospital, is
the only physician in the state to receive this distinction. He screens for and treats all
cardiovascular risk factors. He is certified by the American Society of Hypertension as a high
blood pressure specialist.
•Genevieve Saderholm, deputy director for clinic and school health at the Anne Arundel County
Department of Health , recently received the Maryland State School Health Council's Leadership
Award.
The award will be presented at the eighth annual School Health Interdisciplinary Program on
Aug. 4 at Turf Valley Resort in Ellicott City.
Saderholm was selected because of her contributions to school health services in the county and
state. Saderholm is credited with merging Anne Arundel County's School Health Services program
into the Department of Health, which now serves 118 county public and charter schools.
Saderholm also co-chairs the county's School Health Advisory Council and works with the state
Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and Department of Education to develop school health
guidelines.
•Dr. Jeffrey Quartner is the new president of Midatlantic Cardiovascular Foundation's board of
directors.
He is chief of cardiology and director of the Heart Institute at Union Memorial Hospital.
A $20,000 stolen metal eagle that was recovered along with a cache of weapons and other
contraband from a Glen Burnie home will soon return home, Anne Arundel County police said
yesterday.
The stainless-steel sculpture, which depicts the eagle in mid-flight and has a 10-foot wingspan,
belongs to a larger sculpture that includes another eagle and a 15-foot stainless-steel tree. It
stands on the grounds of the Highpoint 100 business park on Coca Cola Drive in Elkridge,
Howard County. The entire artwork, by Montana-based artist Jim Dolan, has an estimated value
of $70,000, said Ellington Churchill Jr., a senior project manager with Liberty Property Trust, the
developer of the business park. The bird was reported missing July 1.
"When it was taken, we joked that it was probably in somebody's clubroom somewhere
overlooking a wide variety of activity. It was either that or it was going to be scrapped
somewhere," Churchill said. "The way it was found was sweet irony, I guess. We didn't envision
that we would be able to get it back, and through a series of events now we will have it
returned."
The eagle was found after a fire broke out Monday in the basement of a Glen Burnie home. Fire
investigators called police after they discovered se veral firearms and a large quantity of metal,
rubber insulation, copper tubing, air-conditioner coils and the 4-foot-tall metal bird.
Police said they suspect most of the items - though not the guns - were stolen from construction
sites around Maryland to cash in on the rising price of scrap metals. The homeowner is being
questioned, but no charges have been filed, police said.
Churchill said he saw the eagle on television Tuesday night and received several phone calls from
contractors who recognized the bronze-colored bird. He added that the large tree sculpture was
installed in April and was equipped with an alarm system designed to protect the entire
apparatus from theft, but not its individual pieces.
Police said that the bird was likely sawed off from the sculpture at night.
The eagle has not landed yet. Churchill said it was still in police custody and would be picked up
soon.
"When you have a steel eagle with a 10-foot wingspan, you don't just throw it in the back of a
pickup truck," he said.
The Anne Arundel County Board of Education passed a stronger integrity policy yesterday that
reflects a need to "promote vigor and achievement" in schools, one year after a cheating scandal
jolted Severna Park High School.
The new regulations clearly define cheating, fraud, plagiarism and more; the old policy had no
definitions.
The policy goes on to say that cheating includes copying assignments, working together on
independent assignments without teacher permission, and using unauthorized study aids or cheat
sheets during tests.
"We needed a policy that clearly defined what is expected of students ," said county schools
spokesman Maneka Wade "Just looking on Wikipedia, you might not think you're cheating, but
you are."
5. Correction
An article in Tuesday's editions of The Sun mischaracterized the responses of state and federal
agencies to grievances filed by an Anne Arundel County official who has accused her supervisors
of racial and sexual discrimination. Rene C. Swafford has met with representatives from the
Maryland Human Relations Commission and the Maryland attorney general's office. She said she
has contacted a representative at the U.S. Department of Labor; the federal agency does not
discuss its cases.
An article in Tuesday's Maryland section about the sale of a swim club included an incorrect first
name of the pastor of Grace Fellowship Church in Tim onium. He is Danny O'Brien.
An article in the July 1 Maryland section about an immigration raid on an Annapolis painting
company incorrectly reported the date of a congressional measure that criminalized the hiring of
illegal immigrants. The reform took effect in 1986.
An article in the June 28 Maryland section incorrectly identified the Bertholf, a national security
cutter, as the Coast Guard's largest vessel. According to a Coast Guard spokesman, that
distinction belongs to the Healy, which, at 420 feet, is 2 feet longer than the Bertholf.

Sirs,
I have attached a brief summary of the ICE Operation scheduled for Monday. Can you please
pass this on to your personnel that are involved. The report time and place is listed in the
summary.
Duty assignments and further instructions will be given at the briefing on Monday.
This is the culmination of a lengthy ICE investigation. This information should be considered

MISSION:
The mission of this ope ration is to mobilize s elect pe rsonnel to assist the B altimore
Immigration Customs and Enforcement (I.C.E.) office with several search warrants to be executed in
Anne Arundel County, Maryland. The operation will take place on June 30, 2008.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this operation is to assist I.C.E. agents at each search warrant and knock and
talk location. Uniform officers will be a visible presence during the aforementioned events. Unless
otherwise directed, uniformed officers will be posted on the front exterior of their assigned locations
in marked police vehicles. Detectives, in civilian attire, will also be assigned to target locations and
will be responsible for the seizure of any contraband discovered at their assigned location, as directed
by ICE officials. An additional reaction force will be assigned to respond to any extraordinary
incident during or after the aforementioned events.
BACKGROUND:
In January 2007, the Immigration Custom and Enforcement (ICE), Baltimore office, initiated
an investigation on a business located in Anne Arundel County after receiving information that the
business was employing undocumented workers. The information suggested that the owner of the
company pays these workers by check, deducts 1/3 of their gross pay, and tells the undocumented
workers that the deductions are for taxes which will be due after they receive "green cards." The
investigation revealed t hat t he owner of the company is employing undocumented workers and
harboring these workers at residences owned by him.
SUPPORT PERSONNEL:
An operational briefing will be held on June 30, 2008 at 0500 hours at the Annapolis Mall,
ground floor parking garage between Hudson Trail Outfitters and JC Penny Department Store. All
personnel assigned to this operation will be present at this briefing.
All uniformed personnel will wear the summer class B uniform to include hat. All personnel
must wear their issued ballistic vest and full-duty gun-belts. All plain clothes detectives will ensure
they have the supplies necessary to recover evidence as needed.

DUTY ASSIGNMENTS:
Duty assignments will be given to all support personnel at the operational briefing.

the Document and Benefit Fraud Task Force located in Baltimore City. In addition, one officer
from each of the four districts has received specialized training in the areas of ICE and document
fraud to conduct enhanced investigations and also to collaborate with the Department of
Homeland Security’s ICE task force officer.
County Executive Leopold and Anne Arundel County Chief of Police Colonel James Teare, Sr. will
be on scene at Annapolis Painting Services at 2561 Housley Road, Annapolis, MD 21401 at 10:00
AM this morning to assess the operation. The media staging area is 2553 Housley Road.

elizabeth was very persistent in asking to speak with the CE about his opinion on the tactics used
in the raid. I informed her that because the county executive was not present during the raid
when the search warrants were executed, he felt that her media request was best handled by
chief teare." she said, "well, he doesn't have to be there to have an opinion on them? does he
condone the tactics used?" i reiterated that the county executive felt that her request was best
handled by the PD.
she said that if the county executive changes his mind and wants to comment, she would
appreciate it.
i thanked her and said i would pass it along.
fyi.

MISSION:
The mission of this ope ration is to mobilize s elect pe rsonnel to assist the B altimore
Immigration Customs and Enforcement (I.C.E.) office with several search warrants to be executed in
Anne Arundel County, Maryland. The operation will take place on June 30, 2008.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this operation is to assist I.C.E. agents at each search warrant and knock and
talk location. Uniform officers will be a visible presence during the aforementioned events. Unless
otherwise directed, uniformed officers will be posted on the front exterior of their assigned locations
in marked police vehicles. Detectives, in civilian attire, will also be assigned to target locations and
will be responsible for the seizure of any contraband discovered at their assigned location, as directed

incident during or after the aforementioned events.
BACKGROUND:
In January 2007, the Immigration Custom and Enforcement (ICE), Baltimore office, initiated
an investigation on a business located in Anne Arundel County after receiving information that the
business was employing undocumented workers. The information suggested that the owner of the
company pays these workers by check, deducts 1/3 of their gross pay, and tells the undocumented
workers that the deductions are for taxes which will be due after they receive "green cards." The
investigation revealed that the owner of the company is employing undocumented workers and
harboring these workers at residences owned by him.

The officer was driving his personal vehicle and saw two men in a parking lot in the 8100 block of
Waterford Road, according to a news release from the police. The men waved him over, and he pulled
over. One man pulled a gun, and the victim gave them his cash. They fired a shot into the vehicle, which
missed the officer, whose name is being withheld for his safety.
The officer was not injured and did not fire a weapon during the incident.
Both suspects fled on foot north on Waterford Road toward Mountain Road and remain at large. The
officer has served one year in the department and is a member of the patrol division.
Shortly before noon, the boy was lighting fireworks in the second-floor bedroom of his home in the 500
block of Meadow Mist Way when sparks set the contents of the room on fire, said the spokesman, Battalion
Chief Matthew Tobia.
Tobia said the boy doused the flames with water and then left the room, thinking the fire was out. Several
minutes later, the fire reignited and spread from the bedroom to most of the house, Tobia said.
He said the boy, his five siblings and his parents fled the burning house without injury.
Firefighters from several stations brought the fire under control in about an hour and that damage was
estimated at $100,000.
Tobia said the American Red Cross was assisting the family.

The order Leopold issued in August requires businesses to sign a contract swearing they do not employ
people living in the country illegally and allows the county to end relationships with contractors that do.
But the county does not actively screen contractors for illegal hires and will only take action if such
practices are brought to light by federal authorities, which has not happened.
Leopold, who repeatedly mentioned the policy last week after a federal raid on an Annapolis painting
company that resulted in the arrest of 46 suspected illegal immigrants, said his directive is serving its
purpose.
"I think it is working well, and it has leveled the playing field and put vendors on notice that we are not
going to tolerate companies who hire illegal immigrants," said Leopold. "Everyone has signed on and that
gives us the immediate right to terminate any contract that contains falsified information."
Leopold, who has made his stance against illegal immigration a priority of his administration, said that
before he issued his executive order, he was aware of contractors who previously worked with the county
and hired illegal immigrants, but declined to identify them. He also said the directive was a reaction to a
"general concern" about illegal immigration across the country.
He and his central services officer, Fred Schram, said that two contractors initially balked at signing the
amended contract but then did so because the county threatened to cut ties. Both officials, who pointed to
those cases as examples of the measure's teeth, declined to identify the contractors or comment on whether
the companies changed their hiring practices to keep the contracts with the county.
But Councilman Josh Cohen, an Annapolis Democrat who supported the federal raid in his district, said the
effect of Leopold's order is largely symbolic.
"I think John was clearly making a statement with that executive order, but it's unclear what practical effect
the order may have had," Cohen said. "It can be problematic when local jurisdictions are put into a position
of trying to enforce federal laws."
Gustavo Torres, executive director of Casa de Maryland, a Latino immigrant rights group, said the county
government does not have the capacity to crack down on a problem that continues to stymie the federal
government.
"It is very, very difficult to implement. We have an immigration system that is broken, and our economy
needs workers. That is the bottom line," said Torres, who has also expressed concerns that the policy will
open the door for discrimination against legal immigrant workers. "This is not the local government's
responsibility, it is a federal issue. It is not fair for any local government to make decision like that."
Similar laws have been struck down by courts in other cities and states. Last year a federal court threw out
a local ordinance in Hazleton, Pa., which sought to deny contracts and business permits to companies that
employed illegal immigrants. The court ruled that the policy usurped a 1986 federal immigration law that
forbids local jurisdictions from punishing businesses directly.
In March 2007, however, Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt ended a contract with a janitorial firm hired to clean
state office buildings because the company employed at least 18 illegal immigrants. But Blunt has also
directed government officials to conduct random on-site inspections and retrieve documentation for all
workers on the projects that use taxpayer dollars.
Still, Leopold stood by the directive saying it had been well-received by small businesses looking for an
equal opportunity.
"I wanted to be proactive to try to take a responsible action consistent with federal law," he said. "The order
has put vendors on notice that this is the way business will be conducted in Anne Arundel County."
Mustafa, 12, who plays soccer, already started reading Keeper by Mal Peet, a story about a goalie. Axxam,
10, dug into The Revenge of the Shadow King by Derek Benz and J.S. Lewis, about four kids who discover
that the goblins and fairies featured in their card game are appearing in their Minnesota town.
"I think it's really kind of fascinating what another world can be," Axxam said.
The boys took part in a series of summer book fairs designed to cultivate the reading skills of middle school
students. Anne Arundel County Public Schools and Scholastic Books sponsored the book fairs, which
started June 16 and end July 16.
Susan Sassy, the boys' mother, couldn't be happier about the fairs. She takes her children to the library, but
they can't find some of the more popular titles there.
Sassy said she likes the fact that her sons had to commit to read at least five books and write about them in
a journal. In the fall, students will have to share part of their journals in a book club at school.
Arundel Middle School drew 35 other students to its fair on June 25 and 26. Principal Shawn Ashworth
said students who read similar books will be able to team up and create joint presentations.
"I hope that it encourages free reading," said Ashworth, who added that teachers struggle when they have to
pick books for students. "The reading materials don't always conform with what kids want to be reading."
Buffy Jordan, a teacher specialist, will track how well the students perform on the county's annual
standardized language arts test. She wants to see if students maintain and improve their reading skills. If
they do, she hopes she can get donations or a grant to continue the program next year. Because of budget
cuts, the county won't be able to fund the $12,000 pilot program next year.
"Kids drop when they don't do anything [over the summer]," said Jordan, who works in the school system's
office of middle school reading and language arts. "This is to combat that."
Middle school reading proficiency is a concern nationwide. The National Endowment for the Arts released
a report in November that showed improvement in reading skills among children at the elementary school
level, but a decline as students entered their teenage years. Less than one-third of 13-year-olds are daily
readers, according to the report.
The county's book fair started on a small scale last year. It was offered at six schools to students who were
admitted into the Summer Bridge program, which prepares rising sixth-graders for the transition to middle
school.
The book fair worked so well that Anne Arundel County schools teamed up with Scholastic to host a series
of them this summer. School officials expanded the program to all students attending 12 of the 19 middle
schools in the county.
Each school was allotted $1,000. Students could get up to $20 worth of free books each, but they could
pick out more or less, depending on the number of students who showed up at each school. Scholastic
donated a free book for each one bought.
In the fall, Jordan will meet with the children twice at their individual schools for mini book clubs. Jordan
plans to create a slide presentation for teachers to share what titles the students liked and what they
discussed about the books.
More than 60 children came to the first book fair held at Corkran Middle School from June 16 to 17.
Principal Debbie Montgomery sent home information with students before school ended and then sent two
reminder calls through the county's Connect-Ed automated system. The system sends out recorded phone
messages to parents about school events.
Montgomery also added evening hours to the fair on the second day to accommodate working parents. She
recalled one mother objecting when her son picked out four books on skateboarding. His mother ultimately
let him go home with his choices, a move that Montgomery applauded.
"If I can get him to look at four books ... that's a key to success," she said.
Southern Middle School and Old Mill Middle North and South have held fairs in the past two weeks. Other
fairs are scheduled for Annapolis, Bates, Brooklyn Park, George Fox, Lindale, Marley and Meade middle
schools.
Old Mill Middle School South and North were more sparsely attended - 13 children showed up at their
book fairs Monday and Tuesday - because they limited their outreach. Old Mill South targeted a sampling
of kids who might benefit from extra reading, while Old Mill North contacted only last year's graduates of
its Summer Bridge program. Both principals say they might open the program to all of their students if the
program is extended next year.
Sharnette Straker, who teaches eighth grade at Old Mill North, brought her 7-year-old son Sean Straker-
Young to get books. She taught the Summer Bridge program last year and said those kids seemed to really
enjoy the fair.
"I saw improvement in children's reading skills, their inquisitiveness," Straker said. "If we make [reading]
exciting, they'll dig into it on their own."
It didn't hurt that the budgeted amount was far higher than in past years.
In the fiscal year ending last week, the department fell $300,000 short of the $7.8 million budgeted for
overtime and special pay. Overall, the agency's operating budget finished the year with a surplus of $2
million, the second consecutive surplus under Chief David L. Stokes' watch after 14 straight years of
meeting or exceeding its operating limit.
Stokes, who announced Thursday that he will step down in the fall, and County Executive John R. Leopold
credited the savings to fiscal responsibility and "tough decisions."
"We face difficult financial challenges in this county, and Chief Stokes has done an excellent job of
reducing costs, recognizing that taxpayers expect fiscal responsibility and accountability," Leopold said at a
news conference naming Stokes' successor, J. Robert Ray.
But the department benefited from having a larger overtime budget to begin with. The previous year's
overtime budget was about $5.8 million, but the agency spent $6.6 million. Officials said spending tailed
off in the second half of the year after Stokes assumed control of the department.
The department has battled issues related to overtime spending for years. In the fiscal year ending in 2003,
the agency spent $7.2 million - nearly $1 million more than was budgeted - for overtime, an amount so high
that eight of the 10 highest-paid Anne Arundel County government employees were firefighter supervisors,
many of whom doubled their pay.
Some spending was blamed on mismanagement. Officials established a task force to review the agency's
spending, and then-Chief Roger C. Simonds was eventually pressured to step down.
The department restructured to rein in costs, but by 2006, under new Chief Ronald D. Blackwell, the
department spent $8.6 million in overtime - about $5.5 million over the budgeted amount. Blackwell was
replaced when Leopold took over in the fall of 2006, and his departure was largely seen as a result of the
agency's spending.
Battalion Chief Matthew Tobia said Stokes' track record shows that the agency has gotten a handle on its
finances and is being more responsible.
"In past years when we have been budgeted a certain amount and exceeded it, the very first thing that
comes out is, 'Can't you spend your money appropriately?'" Tobia said. "We are proud of the fact that we
have spent less than the approved amount that was given to us."
Others note that while the total figure may be as high as those budget figures of the past, it is actually less
given the fact that salaries have increased since then. In 2008, $7.2 million pays for less overtime than it
did a year earlier, said council Chairwoman Cathleen M. Vitale, whose husband is a county fire lieutenant.
"If they are continually receiving pay raises, overtime will get more expensive," said Vitale, a Republican.
"I can tell you that in the Vitale household, our fire lieutenants' [overtime] paycheck is less than it's been in
recent years. That tells me they're reducing the amount of overtime."
Counties handle overtime differently. Baltimore County spent $720,000 in overtime out of a budget of
about $736,000, said Assistant Fire Chief Mark Hubbard.
Tobia said that for years, county administrations subscribed to the idea that it was cheaper to pay overtime
than to hire additional personnel, who carry extra benefits in addition to a full year's salary.
In 2007, the department created a fourth shift, and the labor union agreed to much more stringent rules
regarding leave time.
"The fourth shift helped a lot, but a big part was looking at our department culture, which was, 'Any issue
that comes up, throw overtime at it,'" Stokes said. "We had to find other ways to do things other than throw
overtime at it."
Craig Oldershaw, president of the Anne Arundel County Professional Fire Fighters Local 1563, said
officers understand the need to reduce costs on overtime.
"It's wonderful when it's there, and our people would be glad to work it when it's there, but it's not a right,"
he said.
Leopold said he was pleased with the way the department budget has been handled during his tenure. He
said he instructed all departments to curb spending.
"These are tough fiscal times, and it requires tough decisions," he said. "Chief Stokes understood that, and
one of the reasons I decided to hire Deputy Chief Ray is that he has a reputation as a tough fiscal steward of
our resources."
The money from the recently revived county Conservation Trust Fund will supplement preservation
activities within the Severn River watershed and add to the Severn Run Greenway.
The Conservation Trust Fund provided $219,490 to several local land trusts, including the Severn River
Land Trust, the South County Conservation Trust, the Bay Ridge Trust and the Anne Arundel Conservation
Trust, until it went dormant three years ago.
The program has now reopened. The next deadline for applications for grant money from the fund is July
31. For more information, visit www.aacounty.org under "news flash."

What’s New
From The Office of Personnel
July 6, 2008
For the second year in a row, Howard County Executive Ken Ulman made planning for a new U.S. 1
interchange with Route 175 his top priority in a letter to John D. Porcari, Maryland's transportation
secretary. Anne Arundel County Executive John R. Leopold also said widening the road that connects the
two counties is his top highway priority, especially with the influx of workers expected within the next
three years with the relocation of military base personnel.
But although the intersection and the widening of Route 175 eastward into Anne Arundel County are
thought to be important regionally, state officials say they don't have the money to plan for the entire
project.
"I joke that BRAC [the military base realignment] stands for 'Better Rely on Assistance from the County,'"
Leopold said.
He pointed out that even if the state could fully pay for the projects, construction would take a decade,
while the BRAC-fueled expansion will be here in one-third of that time.
Said Ulman, "These two projects are of vital importance to serve BRAC-related commuter traffic
anticipated within the next few years."
In addition to the Jessup interchange on U.S. 1, Howard wants Route 175 widened between Interstate 95 in
Howard County and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway across the Anne Arundel line. Studies are under
way to widen the rest of Route 175 as it nears Fort Meade.
Dick Story, chief executive officer of Howard County's Economic Development Authority, said the
widening also is needed to help ease truck congestion at the Maryland Wholesale Food Center along Route
175 just east of U.S. 1.
"It's incredibly important for our success," Story said, not only to prepare for the time when more Fort
Meade-area employees are streaming back and forth from homes in Howard County, but to aid the U.S. 1
redevelopment.
"We know they're important. We know they're needed. They were needed before BRAC," said Andy Scott,
special assistant to Porcari for economic development.
Scott and Jack Cahalan, spokesman for the Maryland Department of Transportation, said there is no
separate funding for BRAC projects, and the state, faced with limited funds, is concentrating transportation
spending on projects very near or at the three bases that are to get the influx - Fort Meade, Aberdeen
Proving Ground and Bethesda Naval Hospital.
"There's no separate pot of money," Cahalan said. "The State Highway Administration is focused on those
improvements closest to the bases themselves."
The state has set aside about $45 million for improvements connected with each of those three installations.
Howard's request for an interchange on U.S. 1 to eliminate the surface intersection there now is too large
for the money available anyway, Cahalan said.
As far as transit is concerned, Ulman's priority is money to replace another seven of the bright green
Howard Transit buses with hybrid vehicles.
"As fuel prices rise, the decision to acquire hybrid vehicles is proving to be an environmentally sound
investment as well as the right choice for the environment," Ulman wrote to Porcari.
Companies that hire illegal immigrants have an unfair advantage over companies that live by the rules.
Maybe, just maybe, if no one hired illegal immigrants, the word would get out that it's not worth the trip
because there is no work.

The aggressive immigration raids in Annapolis last week and the subsequent detention of some workers
help no one.
The U.S. citizens who are the spouses and children of the detainees suffer the loss of their breadwinners
and undergo emotional upheaval while the detainees are moved from place to place.
Detainees in this group have already been moved between Frederick, Howard, Carroll and St. Mary's
counties and to the Eastern Shore and York, Pa.
Once in York, some detainees will be shipped to Texas and California and other places where it will be
very hard to provide them legal support.
It is normal procedure for the Department of Homeland Security to move such detainees multiple times,
eviscerating their ability to consult with counsel and see their families.
The DHS detention, and the practice of moving those detained to facilities far from their loved ones and
counsel, is costly to taxpayers as well.
Prolonged detention of immigrants also undermines the idea of our nation as a haven for those who are
wiling to work hard, the huddled masses yearning to be free.

Attacks against the most vulnerable members of our community only shame us.

Picerne Military Housing, a Rhode Island-based developer, has signed a 50-year lease to manage the more
than 1,000 homes at the Harford County base, a number that will surely diminish, company officials said.
The elegant stone residences with commanding views of the Chesapeake Bay will be restored, and the
smaller, outdated houses that have suffered from neglect will be razed. The company envisions an entirely
new neighborhood, with as many as 500 new homes clustered around a community center with a pool,
recreational facilities and other amenities.
The homes will meet the needs and wishes of today's military families, said Bill Mulvey, Picerne's vice
president for communications.
"The plan is to demolish the old, renovate the historic and build new," he said.
The post has 1,006 homes on its sprawling grounds, many of them long vacant and in need of all manner of
repairs - from replacing roofs to installing new faucets, said George Mercer, spokesman for APG.
"These homes are acceptable, but not up to today's standards," Mercer said. "Families are larger and require
more space, more bedrooms and bathrooms. The tendency is to move off base for housing. So, we have a
lot of houses, but not a lot of soldiers in them."
It will be the developer's job to determine which houses are suitable living quarters and which will be
razed, he said.
"The contract says Picerne will identify the housing needs here and make sure the houses that we keep are
the best," Mercer said. "This gets APG out of the housing business and eliminates all the post's
maintenance chores."
Post officials also plan to eliminate within a year a 25-year-old mobile home park. The 70-lot facility holds
about 40 trailers that are owned by the families living there.
Many of the trailers have changed ownership several times and are too old to meet standards for most
mobile home parks. While the Army realizes owners will have difficulty relocating or selling the homes,
officials are adamant about dissolving the park, Mercer said.
"APG has no need for mobile homes," Mercer said. "We are trying to figure out a way that this will not be
burdensome. But the owners will have to move them at their own expense from the post by August 2009."
Picerne, which will form a partnership with garrison staff, expects to begin its work at APG within a year.
First, the company must draft a community development and management plan that ultimately would have
to win congressional approval, Mulvey said. The plan would include a housing market analysis and
suggestions from APG families.
The post is one of the last in the country to be privatized as the result of the Army's Residential
Communities Initiative that began more than a decade ago. Picerne, which has been in the home-
management business for more than 80 years, has participated in seven housing partnerships with the Army
nationwide and now oversees about 20,000 homes in six states.
Since 2002, Picerne has built six communities at Fort Meade in Anne Arundel County, with 600 new
homes and three neighborhood centers.
"We are old hands at this, and APG likes that," Mulvey said.
The Army does not guarantee personnel post housing, and experience shows that about 25 percent of the
post families choose to live on base. Others settle into housing nearby.
APG likely will require only one large neighborhood, he said. Families would pay Picerne their standard
housing allowance - a monthly stipend the military provides - to lease the homes.
"There is no intent to provide houses for each military family," Mulvey said. "The idea is to prevent the
local community from being overwhelmed and to keep off-post housing demand stable. But we do want to
build on the base homes that are as good as what is available off post."
As APG grows in the next few years by as many as 10,000 jobs, because of the nationwide military base
expansion known as BRAC, many of the current agencies at the base will relocate.
By 2010, there will be fewer soldiers on the base but many more contractors on its periphery, Mercer said.
"We are turning all housing over to a developer, who will assure that there is an appropriate number of
houses for the appropriate number of people," he said.
But instead of addressing this breakdown through the legislative and administrative system, the Bush
administration has chosen to commit its considerable resources to a high-profile enforcement strategy that
directly targets workers.
This strategy may perhaps mollify a certain political base, but it is otherwise manifestly ineffective in
addressing the issue of undocumented immigration.
Raids result in a few thousand arrests a year - out of an estimated 12 million undocumented immigrants in
the United States.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids terrorize and tear apart families and communities of
hardworking people. But despite their high human cost, they do nothing to solve the very real crisis in our
immigration system.

The illegal aliens in Anne Arundel County got what they deserved. At last, government has done something
right, and County Executive John R. Leopold should be applauded, not condemned.

It's our country, not theirs, and it's time to take it back.

Towson Slavery is illegal in this country, yet something like slavery continues, albeit in another form, as
illegal immigrants work here for wages substantially below those that would be paid to legal citizens.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office should be commended for doing its job in Anne
Arundel County.
Richard L. Lelonek
Baltimore In the name of national security, the Department of Homeland Security has adopted practices
that routinely violate the basic rights of people in this country, particularly immigrants.
DHS regularly conducts aggressive raids on homes and workplaces that sometimes round up hundreds of
people, often including citizens and legal residents.
One such raid took place in Anne Arundel County on Monday and arrested 45 people.
After such raids, those detained often do not have access to legal counsel or due process and are often also
denied the right to speak with their families.
We certainly need workable solutions to our immigration problem that protect national security without
sacrificing basic human rights and the dignity of the human person.
But until the federal government has a comprehensive immigration plan in place, such raids should stop.

Rene C. Swafford, an African-American woman, said she was to accept a lower-level management position
and a $25,000 pay cut but would stay with the Anne Arundel Work Force Development Corp., a nonprofit
with 25 employees that offers job training and placement.
Swafford, who was deputy director until June 30, when that position was eliminated, said her new role
would be director of Job Works Arundel, a program to help welfare recipients find employment. She
declined to mention her former salary and said her new job could start as early as Thursday.
"I will be the lowest-paid director there, with the highest amount of education," said Swafford, who is also
a lawyer.
Last month, she held a news conference accusing her former boss of giving away her office and job duties
to white employees. She also said she was passed over for a promotion in favor of a white employee.
Robert L. Hannon, president of the nonprofit agency, said that Swafford's deputy director role was cut
because of budget restrictions and that the decision not to promote her was based on her qualifications.
Swafford lodged a complaint with the state office of civil rights, the U.S. Department of Labor and the
Maryland Human Relations Commission but she said she had not heard back.
Does not a $100 traffic ticket impose a hardship on a person making $8 per hour and his or her dependents?
Does not a stint in the county jail for a drug offense create a hardship for the spouse and children of the
offending breadwinner?
Our nation desperately needs a comprehensive immigration policy. We also need to change our strategy on
the war on drugs and other crime and punishment initiatives.
But that doesn't mean that we should ask Anne Arundel County Executive John R. Leopold to enforce the
law selectively.
Mr. Leopold did the right thing. And he did a service to Maryland's law-abiding contractors and their
families, who will now less often have to compete with companies that use cheap, illegal labor.
Those who disagree with the laws should work to change them, not criticize those who are sworn to uphold
them.
Michael P. DeCicco

But I saw no reports of the company management being arrested for hiring these undocumented workers
and avoiding federal labor laws.
County Executive John R. Leopold said, "The arrests should send a strong signal that the hiring of illegal
immigrants won't be tolerated in Anne Arundel County."
The message I see is there are no consequences for greedy companies that use and abuse illegal
immigrants.
Does anyone believe that rounding up 45 workers at a time will put a dent in the 12 million illegal
immigrants in the United States?
The only way to curb illegal immigrants in this county is to make corporate mangers pay a dear price for
hiring and abusing them to undercut the wage structure of the U.S. working class.

MISSION:
The mission of this ope ration is to mobilize s elect pe rsonnel to assist the B altimore
Immigration Customs and Enforcement (I.C.E.) office with several search warrants to be executed in
Anne Arundel County, Maryland. The operation will take place on June 30, 2008.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this operation is to assist I.C.E. agents at each search warrant and knock and
talk location. Uniform officers will be a visible presence during the aforementioned events. Unless
otherwise directed, uniformed officers will be posted on the front exterior of their assigned locations
in marked police vehicles. Detectives, in civilian attire, will also be assigned to target locations and
will be responsible for the seizure of any contraband discovered at their assigned location, as directed
by ICE officials. A n additional reaction force will be assigned to respond to any extraordinary
incident during or after the aforementioned events.
BACKGROUND:
In January 2007, the Immigration Custom and Enforcement (ICE), Baltimore office, initiated
an investigation on a business located in Anne Arundel County after receiving information that the
business was employing undocumented workers. The information suggested that the owner of the
company pays these workers by check, deducts 1/3 of their gross pay, and tells the undocumented
workers that the deductions are for taxes which will be due after they receive "green cards." The
investigation revealed that the owner of the company is employing undocumented workers and
harboring these workers at residences owned by him.

What’s New
From The Office Office of Personnel
July 1, 2008
Baltimore Fire Chief James S. Clack said the city Fire Department will launch a multitiered response
system to save the city money spent sending unnecessary equipment on nonemergency calls and to increase
the safety of emergency responders and other drivers on the road.
"We just want to make sure we are matching our response with our risk," Clack said.
Under the new policy, calls to the department will be deemed "hot," "warm" or "cold."
In "hot" responses, emergency responders will react with sirens and lights to move quickly through traffic.
On "warm" calls, the first units due to the scene will respond as if the call was an emergency and additional
units will follow without using their lights and sirens. On "cold" calls, responders will move with traffic.
The plans come after a fatal accident in December 2007 when city Truck 27 sped through a red light and
crashed into an SUV at Park Heights Avenue and Clarks Lane in Northwest Baltimore.
The SUV driver, Iryna Petrov; her husband, Mikhail; and a friend, Igor Saub, were killed. The firefighters,
who suffered minor injuries, were responding to a call, which turned out to be a pot burning on a stove.
City Council President Stephanie C. Rawlings-Blake, who introduced a resolution calling on the
department to study a tiered emergency response system, said the new procedure could reduce the number
of times responders must put themselves and other drivers in danger.
She said the accident in December 2007 was a big factor in her decision to take up the issue.
The city's action also comes amid increasing fatalities for firefighters responding to and returning from
emergencies. The National Fire Protection Association found that in 2003 and 2004, more firefighters were
killed traveling to and from emergencies than in any other part of their jobs.
Anne Arundel and Howard counties have already adopted policies to separate emergency and
nonemergency calls.
Dan Merson, department chief of field operations for Howard County, said a tiered plan has worked "quite
well" in Howard County, "limiting the risk to the public and us."
In Howard County, firefighters use their lights and sirens on all calls when emergency medical services are
required but not in all other cases.
Merson said that nonemergency calls include fire alarms and sprinkler systems going off when there is no
smoke or evidence of fire. Other common calls include downed wires or people locked out of their cars.
There are 15 types of nonemergency call in Howard County, he said.
"If there is a Dumpster on fire, we don't send crews with lights and sirens," said Matthew Tobia, battalion
chief in the Anne Arundel County Fire Department. He said that a tiered system enables crews to balance
the risk to themselves and the public with the need to get to emergencies quickly.
He said that every 911 operator asks questions to determine the severity of the situation. If there is no life
or property hazard, it is treated as a nonemergency, he said.
The tiered system will also help reduce costs, with fewer vehicles responding to calls, said Clack, who
worked with a similar system in Minneapolis before coming to Baltimore this year.
"It's going to save on the amount of equipment that we have running red lights and sirens," he said. "Each
time we are running down the street, we are putting the public at risk to save other people, and that's why
we do that, otherwise we would just be going with traffic."
Rawlings-Blake said that the city will help educate the public about the new system in the coming months.
"We'll make sure we do our part," she said. "We don't want people to think at all, if there is an actual fire,
that the Fire Department will not come. It's a matter of how they respond."
A day after a 14-month-old girl was pulled from a sweltering sport utility vehicle in an Annapolis parking
lot, police said yesterday that the toddler's mother faces criminal charges.
And, as they often do when this seasonal danger presents itself, they warned that children can die if left in
cars when the weather is warm.
"Even a few minutes can be critical for a child," Battalion Chief Matthew Tobia, an Anne Arundel Fire
Department spokesman, said.
Though parents might find it easier to leave the child instead of going through the trouble of unbuckling the
child from a car seat, he said, "In that moment of inattention, that is when tragedies strike."
On Sunday afternoon, a woman saw a child left in a car seat in the back seat of a Chevrolet Suburban at
Annapolis Harbour Center and called police. When they arrived, the child was "sweating profusely and in
distress," according to charging documents.
Firefighters on the scene determined that the child had to be taken out of the car immediately.
After failing to unlock the front door with tools, they broke the back window to reach her, according to
charging documents.
The child, showing signs of dehydration, was taken to Anne Arundel Medical Center, police said.
Anyone who sees an unattended child in a car is strongly urged to called police, said Sgt. John Gilmer, a
county police spokesman. It is illegal in Maryland to leave a child younger than age 8 alone in a car. They
must be accompanied by someone age 13 or older.
Police found the girl's mother, who had been shopping with her sister, about an hour after they answered
the call.
She told police that she had forgotten she had the child with her and that she had dropped off three other
children with her mother at the mall, according to charging documents.
Lorraine Holland Fortlage, 37, of Bowie was charged with reckless endangerment and confining an
unattended child, police said.
A woman who answered the phone at the Fortlage home called the incident "unfortunate."
"Obviously it was not done purposely," the woman said. "Thank God she's alive."
Gregory Swain, a lawyer for the family, would not comment on the condition of the girl other than to say
she was "OK."
An average of 33 children a year died in cars from heat-related causes nationwide from 1998 to 2004,
according to Safe Kids USA, an advocacy organization that seeks to prevent accidental childhood injuries.
Internal car temperatures can reach more than 150 degrees when outside temperatures reach 86 degrees,
according to the organization. Keeping windows open a crack has little effect.
In September 2005, two children died after being left in cars in Maryland.
A 5-month-old boy died after being left in a car outside his family's home for about five hours, according to
Frederick County prosecutors.
And a 13-month-old boy left in the back of the car for more than three hours while his father was at work in
Hunt Valley died two days later.
The man pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of leaving a child unattended in a car and received a
suspended 30-day jail sentence and 18 months' probation.
Parents can keep a stuffed animal in the front passenger seat, or put their briefcases or purses in the back
seat, as a reminder of the child's presence, said Jan Null, an adjunct professor of meteorology at San
Francisco State University, who has been studying in-car, heat-related deaths since 2001.
Children are particularly susceptible to heat illnesses because their bodies' cooling systems are much less
developed than an adult's, said Null, who published a study on heat stress from enclosed vehicles in
Pediatrics, a journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, in 2005.
And the number of children who die of hyperthermia, or extreme heat, doesn't represent the full effect of
children being left in cars, said Cyndy Wright-Johnson, director for Maryland Emergency Medical Services
for Children and state coordinator for the Safe Kids Coalition.
In hot car interiors, children first become "thirsty and irritable," then become dehydrated, which can lead to
loss of consciousness or seizures, or possibly a constricted airway, keeping the brain from receiving enough
oxygen.
Many cases are resolved with children receiving fluids at a hospital,Wright-Johnson said.

Lethal heat
About 33 children nationwide die each year from heat-related illnesses after being left in cars.
Internal car temperatures can exceed 150 degrees when outside temperatures reach 86 degrees. The
temperature in a car can rise nearly 20 degrees in 10 minutes.
Parents can keep a stuffed animal in the front passenger seat as a reminder of the child's presence in the
back seat, or can put their briefcases or purses in the back. They can also create a "look-before-you-leave"
routine when exiting a car, and arrange for care providers to call if a child does not show up for child care
or school.

Richard Janey, 43, is serving a 30-year sentence at the Western Correctional Institution in Cumberland for
the murder of an Annapolis woman in 1994. Janey was convicted of second-degree murder in the killing of
29-year-old Susan McAteer, who was stabbed 58 times.
Janey was housed previously at the now-shuttered Maryland House of Correction in Jessup, where on July
4, 2006, he threw hot baby oil at a fellow inmate who was bringing him breakfast, according to prosecutor
Ann Colt Leitess.
The inmate suffered second-degree burns to his face, neck and shoulder, but has refused to cooperate with
prosecutors, authorities said.
Leitess, who said that Janey could have received up to 25 years in prison for the assault, called his criminal
record "atrocious, to say the least."
"They're just making me play ghetto gladiator," Janey said yesterday in court. "And that's not right. I'm not
going to roll over and let these people kill me."
Janey has been convicted of assault in prison before. In June 1998, one year was added to his sentence after
he threw batteries at a correctional officer.
Janey told Judge Michele D. Jaklitsch that he witnessed a jailhouse stabbing and that, "as a result, my life
was on contract." He says that while being transported from the House of Correction, after it was closed in
March 2007, "three [inmates] tried to strangle me on the bus."
Janey's attorney, Heather E. Tierney, told the court that her client has been diagnosed with depression and
delusional and anti-social disorders. She said that according to his "voluminous" psychological file, Janey
has been characterized by prison psychologists as paranoid.
"I think he was sort of desperate, and it was his way to say, 'Look, I need help,'" Tierney said of Janey's
assault on the fellow prisoner in 2006. "What Mr. Janey really wants is to be by himself because of his
fears."
Tierney asked that the judge recommend that Janey be transferred to the Patuxent Institution in Jessup,
where he could receive psychiatric treatment. The judge granted the request.
Janey told the judge, "If you force me into a situation where I got to protect myself ... I don't want to fight
these people. ... I'm not going to join a gang. ... What can I do?"
Acting on a tip, more than 120 officers, including 75 federal agents and 50 Anne Arundel police officers,
participated in simultaneous early-morning raids on Annapolis Painting Services Inc. and 15 area homes,
which police say were rented to employees by the company's owner.
Agents also seized five bank accounts, 11 vehicles and the homes as part of a criminal investigation into
hiring and harboring illegal immigrants. The company's owners were not arrested, but authorities said the
investigation was continuing.
"By employing illegal immigrants, that is the magnet for people to come to this country," said Scot R.
Rittenberg, assistant special agent in charge for the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement in
Baltimore. "They will work for below minimum wage, they will work in poor conditions, and they will
subject themselves to standards that are below what a lawfully-present person will subject them to. So one
of our approaches is to get rid of that magnet."
Immigrant advocates denounced the arrests and said they plan to rally with concerned citizens and civil
rights organizations in front of the Baltimore ICE office today, calling for an end to workplace raids.
"What we understand from our preliminary interviews with family members is that some parents have been
taken in front of children and workers with legal status were detained," said Gustavo Torres, executive
director of Casa de Maryland. "We believe this is a very clear discrimination just because of the color of
our skin, because we are Latino, and we believe that is unacceptable."
Annapolis Painting Services owner Robert Bontempo Jr., 46, could not be reached for comment. According
to the company web site, he started painting homes in the 1970s as a way to pay for college and
transformed the business into one of the largest painting contractors in the region. Its projects have included
work at the State House, the Naval Academy, and several high-profile area businesses.
Yesterday's arrests reflect a surge in ICE enforcement efforts in recent years. As of May, ICE had arrested
about 2,900 people on immigration violations in the fiscal year that began in October. That figure includes
850 arrests in its crack down on employers and workers. More than $30 million in criminal fines,
restitution, seizures and civil judgments have been levied in connection with such raids.
Before the Department of Homeland Security was established in 2003, such criminal charges were virtually
unheard of, even though congressional immigration reform in 1968 had criminalized the hiring of illegal
immigrants. In 2002, for instance, ICE arrested 485 people on immigration violations and just 25 on
criminal charges.
In the Baltimore region, stepped up enforcement has alerted employers and sent fear through immigrant
communities. High-profile sweeps have included the arrest last March of 69 employees of a staffing
company providing workers to sportswear maker Under Armour Inc. and other local businesses, as well as
the arrest of 24 men last January at a popular Southeast Baltimore gathering spot for day labors.
Although agents said the arrests were not a part of a targeted enforcement strategy, they sent shock waves
through Baltimore's burgeoning Latino immigrant population.
Yesterday's arrests netted 36 men and 10 women, from such countries as El Salvador, Guatemala,
Honduras, Mexico, Nigeria and Panama. The workers will be transferred to ICE detention facilities while
they await removal proceedings, Rittenberg said.
In addition, five women were processed for removal, but not taken into custody, because they were the sole
caregiver for their family, including one woman who is pregnant, Rittenberg said. The agency will mail
these workers information notifying them of court dates, where a judge will determine whether they have a
legal right to remain in the country.
Immigrant advocates have been critical of the agency's enforcement strategies after several high-profile
raids several years ago separated parents from their children and detained pregnant women.
Anne Arundel County Executive John R. Leopold held a news conference across the street from the
Housley Avenue business yesterday morning, saying that companies that hire illegal immigrants receive an
unfair advantage that would not be tolerated in the county.
Leopold, a Republican who took office in 2006, denied $115,000 in grants to a non-profit group that offers
services Latinos, and later issued an executive order requiring government contractors to sign affidavits
swearing that they do not employ people living in the country illegally. He also directed Anne Arundel's
jails to quickly refer arrested immigrants to federal authorities.
"We thought that in Maryland that we had a more progressive state, but in Anne Arundel County the
county executive is doing something that is unbelievable," Torres said.
Robert Wade, the owner of a cleaning company called American Healthy Homes, said that his legal
workers were unlikely to show up for work today because they feared that they would be stopped and
arrested because they are Latino.
"I'm trying to explain to them, you're legal, you've done everything you could to be legal and get the proper
documentation," Wade said. "But the word is going around that they're going to get pulled over and locked
up just because they're Hispanic."
Neighbors in the Carrs Manor community near Annapolis said two men were taken from a home there
yesterday. The neighbors, who did not want to give their names because of the sensitivity of the situation,
said the men had recently sent their families back to Mexico and either had proper documentation or were
in the process of receiving it. They said the men spoke English and paid taxes.
"They worked hard, and for a lot less than others," said one man. "They were working to get things
corrected. It just didn't come fast enough."
Two miles away, in the Hillsmere Shores community, four immigrants who did not speak English showed
reporters damage that they said was caused during a raid there in which one man was arrested. Inside the
home, a sparsely furnished, middle-class dwelling, a door frame had been splintered and paperwork was
strewn about a room.
A woman, who said she was five months pregnant, said she had been handcuffed and shoved as her
boyfriend was arrested. His family said he had a work permit that had recently expired.
A cousin, who would only give his first name of Nelsar, said he believes immigration agents are looking
for him as well even though he says he has proper documentation.
"I don't know why they accept this application, they take your money, and then come looking for you," he
said, clutching a certificate that says he is permitted to work in the United States. Surveying a hole in a
bedroom door, he said, "This is completely wrong."

The officer was driving his personal vehicle and saw two men in a parking lot in the 8100 block of
Waterford Road, according to a news release from the police. The men waved him over, and he pulled
over. One man pulled a gun, and the victim gave them his cash. They fired a shot into the vehicle, which
missed the officer, whose name is being withheld for his safety.
The officer was not injured and did not fire a weapon during the incident.
Both suspects fled on foot north on Waterford Road toward Mountain Road and remain at large. The
officer has served one year in the department and is a member of the patrol division.
Shortly before noon, the boy was lighting fireworks in the second-floor bedroom of his home in the 500
block of Meadow Mist Way when sparks set the contents of the room on fire, said the spokesman, Battalion
Chief Matthew Tobia.
Tobia said the boy doused the flames with water and then left the room, thinking the fire was out. Several
minutes later, the fire reignited and spread from the bedroom to most of the house, Tobia said.
He said the boy, his five siblings and his parents fled the burning house without injury.
Firefighters from several stations brought the fire under control in about an hour and that damage was
estimated at $100,000.
Tobia said the American Red Cross was assisting the family.

The order Leopold issued in August requires businesses to sign a contract swearing they do not employ
people living in the country illegally and allows the county to end relationships with contractors that do.
But the county does not actively screen contractors for illegal hires and will only take action if such
practices are brought to light by federal authorities, which has not happened.
Leopold, who repeatedly mentioned the policy last week after a federal raid on an Annapolis painting
company that resulted in the arrest of 46 suspected illegal immigrants, said his directive is serving its
purpose.
"I think it is working well, and it has leveled the playing field and put vendors on notice that we are not
going to tolerate companies who hire illegal immigrants," said Leopold. "Everyone has signed on and that
gives us the immediate right to terminate any contract that contains falsified information."
Leopold, who has made his stance against illegal immigration a priority of his administration, said that
before he issued his executive order, he was aware of contractors who previously worked with the county
and hired illegal immigrants, but declined to identify them. He also said the directive was a reaction to a
"general concern" about illegal immigration across the country.
He and his central services officer, Fred Schram, said that two contractors initially balked at signing the
amended contract but then did so because the county threatened to cut ties. Both officials, who pointed to
those cases as examples of the measure's teeth, declined to identify the contractors or comment on whether
the companies changed their hiring practices to keep the contracts with the county.
But Councilman Josh Cohen, an Annapolis Democrat who supported the federal raid in his district, said the
effect of Leopold's order is largely symbolic.
"I think John was clearly making a statement with that executive order, but it's unclear what practical effect
the order may have had," Cohen said. "It can be problematic when local jurisdictions are put into a position
of trying to enforce federal laws."
Gustavo Torres, executive director of Casa de Maryland, a Latino immigrant rights group, said the county
government does not have the capacity to crack down on a problem that continues to stymie the federal
government.
"It is very, very difficult to implement. We have an immigration system that is broken, and our economy
needs workers. That is the bottom line," said Torres, who has also expressed concerns that the policy will
open the door for discrimination against legal immigrant workers. "This is not the local government's
responsibility, it is a federal issue. It is not fair for any local government to make decision like that."
Similar laws have been struck down by courts in other cities and states. Last year a federal court threw out
a local ordinance in Hazleton, Pa., which sought to deny contracts and business permits to companies that
employed illegal immigrants. The court ruled that the policy usurped a 1986 federal immigration law that
forbids local jurisdictions from punishing businesses directly.
In March 2007, however, Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt ended a contract with a janitorial firm hired to clean
state office buildings because the company employed at least 18 illegal immigrants. But Blunt has also
directed government officials to conduct random on-site inspections and retrieve documentation for all
workers on the projects that use taxpayer dollars.
Still, Leopold stood by the directive saying it had been well-received by small businesses looking for an
equal opportunity.
"I wanted to be proactive to try to take a responsible action consistent with federal law," he said. "The order
has put vendors on notice that this is the way business will be conducted in Anne Arundel County."
Mustafa, 12, who plays soccer, already started reading Keeper by Mal Peet, a story about a goalie. Axxam,
10, dug into The Revenge of the Shadow King by Derek Benz and J.S. Lewis, about four kids who discover
that the goblins and fairies featured in their card game are appearing in their Minnesota town.
"I think it's really kind of fascinating what another world can be," Axxam said.
The boys took part in a series of summer book fairs designed to cultivate the reading skills of middle school
students. Anne Arundel County Public Schools and Scholastic Books sponsored the book fairs, which
started June 16 and end July 16.
Susan Sassy, the boys' mother, couldn't be happier about the fairs. She takes her children to the library, but
they can't find some of the more popular titles there.
Sassy said she likes the fact that her sons had to commit to read at least five books and write about them in
a journal. In the fall, students will have to share part of their journals in a book club at school.
Arundel Middle School drew 35 other students to its fair on June 25 and 26. Principal Shawn Ashworth
said students who read similar books will be able to team up and create joint presentations.
"I hope that it encourages free reading," said Ashworth, who added that teachers struggle when they have to
pick books for students. "The reading materials don't always conform with what kids want to be reading."
Buffy Jordan, a teacher specialist, will track how well the students perform on the county's annual
standardized language arts test. She wants to see if students maintain and improve their reading skills. If
they do, she hopes she can get donations or a grant to continue the program next year. Because of budget
cuts, the county won't be able to fund the $12,000 pilot program next year.
"Kids drop when they don't do anything [over the summer]," said Jordan, who works in the school system's
office of middle school reading and language arts. "This is to combat that."
Middle school reading proficiency is a concern nationwide. The National Endowment for the Arts released
a report in November that showed improvement in reading skills among children at the elementary school
level, but a decline as students entered their teenage years. Less than one-third of 13-year-olds are daily
readers, according to the report.
The county's book fair started on a small scale last year. It was offered at six schools to students who were
admitted into the Summer Bridge program, which prepares rising sixth-graders for the transition to middle
school.
The book fair worked so well that Anne Arundel County schools teamed up with Scholastic to host a series
of them this summer. School officials expanded the program to all students attending 12 of the 19 middle
schools in the county.
Each school was allotted $1,000. Students could get up to $20 worth of free books each, but they could
pick out more or less, depending on the number of students who showed up at each school. Scholastic
donated a free book for each one bought.
In the fall, Jordan will meet with the children twice at their individual schools for mini book clubs. Jordan
plans to create a slide presentation for teachers to share what titles the students liked and what they
discussed about the books.
More than 60 children came to the first book fair held at Corkran Middle School from June 16 to 17.
Principal Debbie Montgomery sent home information with students before school ended and then sent two
reminder calls through the county's Connect-Ed automated system. The system sends out recorded phone
messages to parents about school events.
Montgomery also added evening hours to the fair on the second day to accommodate working parents. She
recalled one mother objecting when her son picked out four books on skateboarding. His mother ultimately
let him go home with his choices, a move that Montgomery applauded.
"If I can get him to look at four books ... that's a key to success," she said.
Southern Middle School and Old Mill Middle North and South have held fairs in the past two weeks. Other
fairs are scheduled for Annapolis, Bates, Brooklyn Park, George Fox, Lindale, Marley and Meade middle
schools.
Old Mill Middle School South and North were more sparsely attended - 13 children showed up at their
book fairs Monday and Tuesday - because they limited their outreach. Old Mill South targeted a sampling
of kids who might benefit from extra reading, while Old Mill North contacted only last year's graduates of
its Summer Bridge program. Both principals say they might open the program to all of their students if the
program is extended next year.
Sharnette Straker, who teaches eighth grade at Old Mill North, brought her 7-year-old son Sean Straker-
Young to get books. She taught the Summer Bridge program last year and said those kids seemed to really
enjoy the fair.
"I saw improvement in children's reading skills, their inquisitiveness," Straker said. "If we make [reading]
exciting, they'll dig into it on their own."
It didn't hurt that the budgeted amount was far higher than in past years.
In the fiscal year ending last week, the department fell $300,000 short of the $7.8 million budgeted for
overtime and special pay. Overall, the agency's operating budget finished the year with a surplus of $2
million, the second consecutive surplus under Chief David L. Stokes' watch after 14 straight years of
meeting or exceeding its operating limit.
Stokes, who announced Thursday that he will step down in the fall, and County Executive John R. Leopold
credited the savings to fiscal responsibility and "tough decisions."
"We face difficult financial challenges in this county, and Chief Stokes has done an excellent job of
reducing costs, recognizing that taxpayers expect fiscal responsibility and accountability," Leopold said at a
news conference naming Stokes' successor, J. Robert Ray.
But the department benefited from having a larger overtime budget to begin with. The previous year's
overtime budget was about $5.8 million, but the agency spent $6.6 million. Officials said spending tailed
off in the second half of the year after Stokes assumed control of the department.
The department has battled issues related to overtime spending for years. In the fiscal year ending in 2003,
the agency spent $7.2 million - nearly $1 million more than was budgeted - for overtime, an amount so high
that eight of the 10 highest-paid Anne Arundel County government employees were firefighter supervisors,
many of whom doubled their pay.
Some spending was blamed on mismanagement. Officials established a task force to review the agency's
spending, and then-Chief Roger C. Simonds was eventually pressured to step down.
The department restructured to rein in costs, but by 2006, under new Chief Ronald D. Blackwell, the
department spent $8.6 million in overtime - about $5.5 million over the budgeted amount. Blackwell was
replaced when Leopold took over in the fall of 2006, and his departure was largely seen as a result of the
agency's spending.
Battalion Chief Matthew Tobia said Stokes' track record shows that the agency has gotten a handle on its
finances and is being more responsible.
"In past years when we have been budgeted a certain amount and exceeded it, the very first thing that
comes out is, 'Can't you spend your money appropriately?'" Tobia said. "We are proud of the fact that we
have spent less than the approved amount that was given to us."
Others note that while the total figure may be as high as those budget figures of the past, it is actually less
given the fact that salaries have increased since then. In 2008, $7.2 million pays for less overtime than it
did a year earlier, said council Chairwoman Cathleen M. Vitale, whose husband is a county fire lieutenant.
"If they are continually receiving pay raises, overtime will get more expensive," said Vitale, a Republican.
"I can tell you that in the Vitale household, our fire lieutenants' [overtime] paycheck is less than it's been in
recent years. That tells me they're reducing the amount of overtime."
Counties handle overtime differently. Baltimore County spent $720,000 in overtime out of a budget of
about $736,000, said Assistant Fire Chief Mark Hubbard.
Tobia said that for years, county administrations subscribed to the idea that it was cheaper to pay overtime
than to hire additional personnel, who carry extra benefits in addition to a full year's salary.
In 2007, the department created a fourth shift, and the labor union agreed to much more stringent rules
regarding leave time.
"The fourth shift helped a lot, but a big part was looking at our department culture, which was, 'Any issue
that comes up, throw overtime at it,'" Stokes said. "We had to find other ways to do things other than throw
overtime at it."
Craig Oldershaw, president of the Anne Arundel County Professional Fire Fighters Local 1563, said
officers understand the need to reduce costs on overtime.
"It's wonderful when it's there, and our people would be glad to work it when it's there, but it's not a right,"
he said.
Leopold said he was pleased with the way the department budget has been handled during his tenure. He
said he instructed all departments to curb spending.
"These are tough fiscal times, and it requires tough decisions," he said. "Chief Stokes understood that, and
one of the reasons I decided to hire Deputy Chief Ray is that he has a reputation as a tough fiscal steward of
our resources."
The money from the recently revived county Conservation Trust Fund will supplement preservation
activities within the Severn River watershed and add to the Severn Run Greenway.
The Conservation Trust Fund provided $219,490 to several local land trusts, including the Severn River
Land Trust, the South County Conservation Trust, the Bay Ridge Trust and the Anne Arundel Conservation
Trust, until it went dormant three years ago.
The program has now reopened. The next deadline for applications for grant money from the fund is July
31. For more information, visit www.aacounty.org under "news flash."

Published June 30, 2008
TATTOOS - Many commanders of military and paramilitary organizations dislike their personnel sporting
"body art" that proclaims loyalties to outside groups or organizations. And Col. James Teare Sr., chief of
the county police department, is definitely one of these commanders.
Last year the chief issued a policy requiring his officers to cover any tattoos while on duty. The
justification: Some of the markings are "offensive" to certain ethnic groups or "symbolic of gangs or groups
associated with illegal activity."
Chief Teare viewed this as an exercise of his authority to set appearance and grooming standards for his
officers. But he landed in a dispute with the police officers' union, which argued that wearing long-sleeve
shirts during a steamy Maryland summer is a change in working conditions - and thus something that
should have been negotiated.
Last week a federal arbitrator ruled in favor of the union. The chief's policy was rescinded. And, no doubt,
given the weather, any tattoos promptly went back on display.
As long as the officers are responsible professionals, we don't care greatly if their bare arms give testimony
of prior loyalties, whether to their mothers or the U.S. Marine Corps. But if this bothers the chief, perhaps
he can arrange for discounts for tattoo removal.

themselves as he said they have social services, etc in place. He wouldn't tell me anything re who
employers are, etc and just said only AACo PD was involved. Let me know if there's any steps we should

investigation revealed that the owner of the company is employing undocumented workers and
harboring these workers at residences owned by him.

An operational briefing will be held on June 30, 2008 at 0500 hours at the Annapolis Mall,
ground floor parking garage between Hudson Trail Outfitters and JC Penny Department Store. All
personnel assigned to this operation will be present at this briefing.

Scott Rittenburg of ICE called me to tell me they're going to be rolling up approx 40 at the start of next
week on money laundering and harboring illegal alien charges. Sounds like many in that 40 will be illegals
themselves as he said they have social services, etc in place. He wouldn't tell me anything re who
employers are, etc and just said only AACo PD was involved. Let me know if there's any steps we should
take from here. My advice if we want more info would probably be to start with AACo, but I have his
contact info if you want it

Operational Initiatives and Enforcement Strategies to Suppress Crime (Ops Order or Plan)
۰ During the course of the month, the Special Enforcement Section compiled the following
enforcement related statistics: 12 new drug cases were opened & 6 were closed by arrest.
The Vice Unit opened 7 new cases and closed each by arrest. The Prescription Drug
Diversion Unit opened 25 new cases and closed 21 by arrest.
۰ The Vice Section conducted enforcement efforts in the Laurel area to combat quality of
life issues related to prostitution activity. On June 5, a “reversal” operation was
conducted with two district officers (detailed for the event) serving in an undercover
capacity as prostitutes. Six customers were detained, identified and released to allow the
operation to continue. All six gentlemen were subsequently charged with solicitation on
applications through the District Court Commissioner’s Office. On June 10, vice
detectives returned to the area and were solicited by a female who was “working the
street.” The suspect was arrested and charged accordingly.
۰ Detectives Dickey and Aulton have been detailed to the Special Intelligence Section to
conduct checks of licensed liquor establishments throughout the county for illegal
gaming machines. As of this report date, they have checked approximately 40
establishments out of a list of just over 400.
۰ On June 30, the section assisted with the Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE)
operation in the Annapolis area. Detectives provided evidence management support on
numerous search & seizure warrants and at locations where ICE investigators were
conducting “knock & talks.”

۰ Detectives worked with a Prince Georges County HIDTA Group to conduct a controlled
delivery of approximately 125 pounds of “kind bud” marijuana to the Ourismann Honda
dealership in Laurel. Undercover detectives observed an employee and a second party
take control of the parcels containing the contraband. The suspects were arrested without
incident. Subsequently, detectives were notified by the general manager that two more
parcels had been delivered. The parcels were also seized and found to contain
approximately 180 pounds of “kind bud.” The total combined weight of marijuana
seized in this case was 305 pounds. The investigation is continuing.
۰ The Section Commander provided each section member with officer safety bulletins on a
frequent basis this month. These bulletins included training on new weapons and drug
concealment methods, violent subjects wanted in our region and crime trends in the
county.
۰ Detectives from the Special Enforcement Team and B-Squad assisted the Police
Academy by acting as role players for recruit practical exercises on a frequent basis this
month.
۰ Members of the Special Enforcement Team attended two days of training in the use of
Penn-Link technology. This training will help the section optimize the use of our pen-
register equipment during investigations.
۰ Detective Finely provided two days of self-defense training for recruits at the Police
Academy.
۰ Detectives Snyder and Hammond attended a course in forensic computer & cell phone
examination.
۰ Detective Finley attended a course hosted by CID on a new national search database
called Accurint. This new tool reportedly surpasses existing systems in its ability to
locate information on suspects & witnesses.
۰ Attended the monthly Gang Reduction through Investigations & Prosecutions meeting at
the State’s Attorney’s Office. Colonel Teare, the State Public Safety Secretary and Chief
Pristoop from Annapolis City also attended.
۰ Conducted follow-up interview with the auditor of the Lieutenant’s Fair Labor Standards
Act review.

۰ Ms. Irene Rattell, the grandmother of Sergeant Brad Rattell passed away after suffering a
stroke in early June. Members of the section attended the services for Ms. Rattell and
expressed their condolences to Brad and his family.
۰ The Special Enforcement Team (SET) received a letter of appreciation from the Section
Commander for the excellent job they did in apprehending Rashad Snowden. He was
wanted for armed robbery and was a person of interest in an Annapolis City homicide.
Mr. Snowden had avoided apprehension for two months. SET tracked Mr. Snowden over
the course of three long days until the apprehended him in a house in Arnold. He was in
possession of a loaded .357 magnum revolver when arrested.
۰ B Squad and the Vice/Diversion Unit received a letter of appreciation from the section
commander for the excellent teamwork they displayed while conducting a controlled
delivery of 125 pounds of marijuana. Due to the diligence and investigative mindset
shown by each member of the section, a difficult operation “went off without a hitch.”
Future Plans
۰ The Section continues to work on plans to conduct gang suppression and immigration
law enforcement operations in the near future.
۰ Lieutenant Altomare & Sergeant Rattell are working on lesson plans and the acquisition
of resources for a “Basic Narcotics Investigators Course.” We have set a tentative date of
early January for this one-week course. The Section will open the training to
approximately 20-25 officers who aspire to be drug investigators from the county and
neighboring agencies.
۰ 3 bids for video surveillance equipment have been obtained and provided to Corporal
Bowers in the grant office. The purchase of this equipment will be funded by a gang
suppression grant awarded by the Governors Office of Crime Control and Prevention.
The purchase of the video equipment, valued at $5,825.00, will most likely have to wait
until the new fiscal year begins next month.

Address Change& Possession of CDS. SET spent several days canvassing areas where
Albrecht was known to frequent. SET passed out wanted flyers near Albrecht’s residence
and around his girlfriend’s work location. After realizing detectives were closing in on
him, Albrecht contacted SET on 7-2-08 and advised he wanted to turn himself in. SET
responded to the McDonald’s at Arundel Mills and met with Albrecht where he was
placed under arrest.

Tim, Can you have Sean prepare me a briefing on how the "Bad guy" hit list project is going.
Who's involved and how we're getting, analyzing and putting out the information. Also if you can
give me an update on the P & P ICE project. Same type of stuff. I have a meeting with Col.
Teare next Friday to discuss targeting bad guy's.
Thanks,
Tim,
Is there a cost center number or anything associated with the ICE detail or should we just submit
the OT regularly.
Thanks.
Lt.
I have seven full-time that will be staged at 0530 for the Ice Event. I think that will be enough
to deal with initial situations and we can call in more if needed.
5 are working and 2 will be on OT. We will work that day as a COH. 0500 - 1330. OT will be
Phillips and Cardenas.

From The Office of Personnel
July 8, 2008
Rene C. Swafford, an African-American woman, said she was to accept a lower-level management position
and a $25,000 pay cut but would stay with the Anne Arundel Work Force Development Corp., a nonprofit
with 25 employees that offers job training and placement.
Swafford, who was deputy director until June 30, when that position was eliminated, said her new role
would be director of Job Works Arundel, a program to help welfare recipients find employment. She
declined to mention her former salary and said her new job could start as early as Thursday.
"I will be the lowest-paid director there, with the highest amount of education," said Swafford, who is also
a lawyer.
Last month, she held a news conference accusing her former boss of giving away her office and job duties
to white employees. She also said she was passed over for a promotion in favor of a white employee.
Robert L. Hannon, president of the nonprofit agency, said that Swafford's deputy director role was cut
because of budget restrictions and that the decision not to promote her was based on her qualifications.
Swafford lodged a complaint with the state office of civil rights, the U.S. Department of Labor and the
Maryland Human Relations Commission but she said she had not heard back.
Does not a $100 traffic ticket impose a hardship on a person making $8 per hour and his or her dependents?
Does not a stint in the county jail for a drug offense create a hardship for the spouse and children of the
offending breadwinner?
Our nation desperately needs a comprehensive immigration policy. We also need to change our strategy on
the war on drugs and other crime and punishment initiatives.
But that doesn't mean that we should ask Anne Arundel County Executive John R. Leopold to enforce the
law selectively.
Mr. Leopold did the right thing. And he did a service to Maryland's law-abiding contractors and their
families, who will now less often have to compete with companies that use cheap, illegal labor.
Those who disagree with the laws should work to change them, not criticize those who are sworn to uphold
them.
Michael P. DeCicco
Severn
But I saw no reports of the company management being arrested for hiring these undocumented workers
and avoiding federal labor laws.
County Executive John R. Leopold said, "The arrests should send a strong signal that the hiring of illegal
immigrants won't be tolerated in Anne Arundel County."
The message I see is there are no consequences for greedy companies that use and abuse illegal
immigrants.
Does anyone believe that rounding up 45 workers at a time will put a dent in the 12 million illegal
immigrants in the United States?
The only way to curb illegal immigrants in this county is to make corporate mangers pay a dear price for
hiring and abusing them to undercut the wage structure of the U.S. working class.

Anne Arundel County Police Department joins forces with U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement
Annapolis (November 6, 2007) --- Anne Arundel County Executive John R. Leopold announced today that
officials from the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, Department of Labor, and
Department of State have created 17 nationwide task forces to combat the growing problems of document
fraud and immigration benefits fraud.
Participants in the task forces include ICE, The Department of Justice, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services (USCIS), Department of Labor Office of Inspector General, Social Security Administration Office
of Inspector General, State Department Office of Inspector General, State Department Bureau of Diplomatic
Security, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, U.S. Secret Service and numerous state and local law enforcement
agencies.
At the direction of County Executive Leopold, the Anne Arundel County Police Department proudly joins
the Document and Benefit Fraud Task Force located in Baltimore City. The Chief of Police, Colonel James
Teare, Sr., will permanently assign a police officer to the Baltimore field office as an Immigration and
Customs Enforcement Task Force Officer. In addition, one officer from each of the four districts will be
selected to receive specialized training in the areas of ICE and document fraud to conduct enhanced
investigations and also to collaborate with the department’s ICE task force officer.
“This new task force follows an executive order signed in August by County Executive Leopold that
requires all businesses and individuals contracted with the County, to comply with federal law regarding the
employment of illegal aliens,” said Colonel James Teare, Sr. “This order demonstrates the Administration’s
strong stance against illegal immigration.”
County Executive Leopold stated, “I firmly support the participation of the police department in the task
force as it demonstrates the county’s strong stance against illegal immigration.”
"The police department is committed to aggressively investigating crimes committed by illegal immigrants,”
County Executive Leopold added. “By participating in the task force, we will unite with other agencies’
experts to focus our efforts on detecting, deterring and disrupting document fraud and other related crimes
committed by illegal immigrants.”
ICE Special Agent in Charge James A. Dinkins stated, "It is important that law enforcement agencies work
together to combat individuals who enter the US illegally and seek to exploit our local communities through
gang activity, document fraud, identity theft, and other felonious criminal acts. These criminal organizations
undermine our social and economic security."

40 will be illegals themselves as he said they have social services, etc in place. He wouldn't tell

Lt.,
The operation Lt. Jones spoke to you about is going to be on June 30th. If nothing changes,
the brief time will be at approx. 0500- 0530 at Annapolis Mall. I won't know the specifics until
next week.
This operation is the conclusion of a very lengthy ICE investigation in Annapolis. They will be
executing 11 search warrants (6 of which are in Annapolis City) and 2 knock and talks. We are
going to supply a uniformed officer at each location in our jurisdiction.
ICE agents are going to take care of executing the search warrants, searching, prisoner
transports, etc... They are only requesting assistance with recovering any weapons or CDS that
may be found during the operation. Any contraband seized would most likely just be submitted
as evidence with local charges to follow at a later time if necessary. These are not drug houses,
so they are not expecting much in the way of CDS or weapons.
I think one sergeant and four detectives from your section should adequately support the
operation.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated. I will have more details early next week. Please call
me with any questions. Thanks again.
Gents, we will be tasked with giving support on this one...I believe Brad and Steve are working
days.

Lt.,
The operation Lt. Jones spoke to you about is going to be on June 30th. If nothing changes, the brief
time will be at approx. 0500- 0530 at Annapolis Mall. I won't know the specifics until next week.
This operation is the conclusion of a very lengthy ICE investigation in Annapolis. They will be
executing 11 search warrants (6 of which are in Annapolis City) and 2 knock and talks. We are going to
supply a uniformed officer at each location in our jurisdiction.
ICE agents are going to take care of executing the search warrants, searching, prisoner transports, etc...
They are only requesting assistance with recovering any weapons or CDS that may be found during the
operation. Any contraband seized would most likely just be submitted as evidence with local charges to
follow at a later time if necessary. These are not drug houses, so they are not expecting much in the way
of CDS or weapons.
I think one sergeant and four detectives from your section should adequately support the operation.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated. I will have more details early next week. Please call me with
any questions. Thanks again.
Shift 3 working:
Special detail with ICE and APD on Monday, June 30th: Channel 71M reserved since it is the
mutual APD channel. There will be about 30 units assigned to detail. A roster will be faxed over
very early Monday morning. Overtime posted for 0500 to 1300. Detail may only go about 6-7
hours but could go a full 8 hours.
ICE has several warrant services throughout the county & Annapolis City. A uniform with assist
with each service. There will be mostly car to car conversation, but there will be some traffic
stops and some knock & talk (don't know what that is).
Thank you.
