The present Commission is composed of elected and appointed officials, law enforcement profes- sional and citizens with knowledge and interest in law enforcement and justice. The Commission is to evaluate the recommendations of the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration, appraising the needs of the State's criminal systems and putting into effect those proposals of the President's commission that the State unit finds to be worthwhile for Maryland. In 1968, the Commission was designated by the Governor as the State Planning Agency for the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968. The purpose of this program is to prepare State- wide comprehensive plans for improving law enforcement and crim- inal justice, and to make grants to State agencies and to units of local government for projects and programs consistent with the State Plan. In 1969, the Governor designated the Commission as the plan- ning agency for the Federal Juvenile Delinquency Prevention and Control Act of 1968. The Commission is now developing comprehen- sive plans for juvenile delinquency prevention, treatment and control. The Commission is one of six state criminal Justice planning agencies selected by the U. S. Department of Justice to develop a prototype for a national computerized criminal Justice information system. In January 1969, the Commission received $347,000 from the US. S. Department of Justice for planning, and $139,000 of that amount was distributed to the Commission's five regional planning boards for program development. In June of 1969 the Commission presented the Justice Department with the first-year comprehensive plan for law enforcement and the administration of justice in Maryland and received a grant totalling $451,000 for program implementation. Of this amount, seventy-five percent will be allocated to local units of government and the balance to State agencies. The Commission is to make its final report at a later date. |
