The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office will conduct an internal administrative hearing involving a Deputy Sheriff on September 7, 2023, at the Potomac Building Room 14 located at 23115 Leonard Hall Drive in Leonardtown. The hearing board will convene at 8:45 a.m. and is open to the press and public, with limited seating available. An administrative hearing is a panel of Law Enforcement officers from outside agencies who decide after evidence is presented by the Office of Professional Responsibilities if an accused employee violated the policies and procedures of the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office. If the employee is found to have violated a policy at the conclusion of the administrative hearing, a recommendation of discipline will be advised by members of the board. The final determination of discipline imposed will be decided by Sheriff Steven Hall, after careful consideration and review of transcripts from the administrative hearing and the boards’ recommendation.
