This is simply untrue. The BPD loses many recent graduates to county agencies. I’ve known many recent city police graduates who lateral to AA county, Harford county, PG county and Baltimore county. If anything, the BPD is merely a stepping stone to outside agencies. It’s just the easiest to get Into because they’re always hiring and the standard is much lower.

The Maryland police training commission is the body that oversees all police training in the state of Maryland. Once a graduate has a MPTC card they can work at just about any agency in the state of Maryland.
