State plans motorized speed squad and central coroner use
Maryland officials propose a 10 to 25 motorized deputies to enforce speed laws, with one per county and two in Baltimore City. A motorized force would act as a statewide rapid-response unit ready for riots or looting and potentially equip a machine gun on one bike. The plan also seeks to centralize automobil e inquests through a designated Baltimore coroner and expand the Traffic Court to handle all automobile death investigations.

Traffic fatalities and licensing growth in Maryland 1918 1929
Discussion by Commissioner Baughman on traffic responsibility follows Maryland’s nine year surge in auto use. From May 1918 to May 1929 licenses issued rose to 241 541 while commission receipts ballooned. In one year 4 200 motor violations were handled, leading to 1 528 suspensions, 289 revocations, 1 048 refusals and 1 240 reprisals. Reported deaths rose from 157 in 1917 18 to 203 in the year, with undercounting likely since many accidents occur far from reporting centers. No comprehensive casualty records exist for the state.
