A memorandum of agreement has been finalized between Johns Hopkins University and the Baltimore City Police Department, the latest step in creating a private campus police force.
The 23-page document was originally released in September. It has been revised to reflect feedback from the community.
The document was signed by Baltimore City Police Commissioner Michael Harrison.
The memorandum of agreement includes:
- State-mandated public reporting, training, policy development, and third-party accreditation requirements
- Exemptions from state immunity protections
- Local hiring and recruitment targets
- Multiple layers of public accountability and oversight
