enforcement agencies in the exchange of information regarding
crime and criminals (Code 1967, Art. 88B, sec. 19); it is charged with
the licensing of private detectives (Code 1957, Art. 56, secs. 75-92)
and the registration of firearms (Code 1957, Art. 27, secs. 441-448).

In June 1962 the organization of the State Police was expanded to
include an Intelligence Unit, the primary purpose of which is to
collect, evaluate, file for ready reference, and disseminate intelligence
on organized crime (Code 1957, 1962 Supp., Art. 88B, sec. 19).

The Central Accident Records Bureau, established in 1953, receives
motor vehicle accident reports from all police agencies. It tabulates
and analyzes such reports and publishes monthly summaries in coop-
eration with the Maryland Traffic Safety Commission (Code 1957,
Art. 88B, secs. 42-48).

The Department, through safety talks and the display of moving
pictures by its members, promotes highway safety. The Department
maintains radio and teletype communication between its own installa-
tions and those of other law enforcement agencies within the State;
it participates in a 17-State teletype network; and it provides radio
communication service to the Department of Tidewater Fisheries. It
maintains a Police Academy for the training of its own personnel
and these training facilities are available to other law enforcement
agencies in the State.

In 1963, the Maryland State Police took over the police functions
in connection with the operation of the Northeastern Expressway, the
first toll road in Maryland.
