Carroll County established its PAB via Resolution 1143-2022 in May 2022, with initial appointments of 5 members in September 2022. Term length is 2 years (with a max of 4 years total service), shorter than the state default and shorter than any other reviewed MD county. The bylaws allow up to 2 retired LEOs (HB 670 prohibits active LEOs but permits retired). Carroll has no county police department; the Sheriff's Office is the primary LE agency and has actively responded to PAB reports.
