About the Administrative Hearing Board
Administrative Hearings are like an appeal. They are held at the request of law enforcement officers who exercise their right to contest findings and disciplinary decisions made by the Administrative Charging Committee or a law enforcement agency.
A separate hearing board is assembled for each officer who contests findings or disciplinary decisions. They cover countywide and local law enforcement agencies in Prince George's County. It is their duty to review the evidence, determine the credibility of the witnesses, resolve any conflicts that may arise during the hearing, and determine the weight of the evidence when rendering a final disposition for the "appeal".
An Administrative Hearing Board is comprised of:
- An administrative law judge;
- An officer of equal rank as the officer requesting the hearing; and
- A civilian, who is not a member of the Administrative Charging Committee or the Police Accountability Board
The Prince George's County Police Accountability Board is responsible for appointing one or more individuals to serve as civilian members of the AHB.
