Frederick officials push a bill to simplify jailing vagrants as a last resort to clear downtown of undesirables. The measure would drop mental illness proof requirements under the tramp statute, with supporters framing it as an added tool for law enforcement. Critics say punishing homelessness is outrageous and call for accountability of social systems instead.

Sheriff seeks 3.5 patrol deputies yearly for five years
Frederick County needs more law enforcement deputies, says Sheriff Robert C. Snyder, who cites a five year study showing understaffing versus national averages. He asks county commissioners to fund 3.5 new patrol positions annually for five years to avoid a large budget spike later and to address rising population and crime. The sheriff notes the current ratio is one officer per 1,200 residents, far above the national goal of one per 300. He emphasizes the county's growth as a bedroom community and its proximity to Baltimore and Washington crime activity.
