Butler’s nomination is the third in which Moore has decided to keep a Hogan appointee to serve in his administration.
The others were also in public safety related positions: Carolyn Scruggs as secretary of public safety and corrections and Russell Strickland as secretary of emergency management.
Before his appointment, Butler led the Field Operations Bureau and was responsible for a patrol force of more than 1,000 troopers assigned to 23 barracks across the state.Last summer, the Justice Department and U.S. attorney’s office in Maryland announced that they had launched an investigation of the department but did not indicate what sparked the probe or offer any specific allegations against the agency.
Members of the General Assembly have heard complaints from Black troopers for years, said Maryland U.S. Attorney Erek Barron, who was a member of the state legislature for six years before he became the head of the state’s U.S. Attorney’s office, and deemed the complaints sufficiently credible to investigate.
