Pastor Mike asked Sheriff Troy Berry the following questions:
- How are complaints about excessive force handled?
- How would you handle a protest in Charles county?
- What measures are in place to maintain open communication between officers and citizens when engaged?
- Are there plans to have a dialogue with young black men (alone) to discuss race relations, profilings, and fear?
- What plans are being put in place to re-establish the image of officers starting at the elementary age?
- What doesn't the CCSO give all the "Violent Crime" incidents that occur in our County, to the MD Independent to post in the Police Briefs section of the paper, are there too many?
- A young Charles County female posted recently that she saw a young black female stopped on 210 with 4 police cars. She was fearful for the young woman and wanted to know if she could legally stop as a witness just to let the other woman know that someone had her back. This has 2 parts...first, the answer to the young lady's question above and (2) this indicates strongly that residents now feel that even CC police are their enemy & targeting young blacks. What is your community "action" plan, not just talk, for easing their fears?
- I would like to know how the sheriff department interacts with our young people in the community to help build a positive relationship between the 2 groups. If there's anything positive about the coronavirus it's that we are all in this together.
- I have repeatedly heard that minorities are stopped by the La Plata police without cause. I have never experienced this but I am wondering how this is allowed. I have friends who refuse to visit me for this reason.
- We've seen Ahmaud Arbury's killers run free for 70+ days and George Floyd's killers free for 3 days after his death, the common denominator here, as many others around the country, is that arrests weren't made after law enforcement got ahold of video proof, but after the public got ahold of video proof and cried out for their arrest. What will you do as Sheriff to hold your deputies accountable to their actions and take action because it is what's right instead of because the public wants it?
