Baltimore County Police Chief Robert McCullough on List of Cops with Credibility Concern

Baltimore County Police Chief Robert McCullough is one of 90 law enforcement officers whose alleged, sustained or pending credibility concerns must be disclosed to defense attorneys before they can testify in a county court.

Filed as a “Brady Report” by the Baltimore County State’s Attorney’s Office, the two-page document lists officers from five agencies in alphabetical order, identifying them by both their name and badge number, as well as their “status.”

McCullough, whose appointment was nominated and unanimously approved by county leaders in 2023, is listed as “IADISCLOSE,” the most common status amongst the officers. Others include “IACLEARED” and “IADONOTCALL.”

It is not clear why the chief is named in the report. When responding to a Public Information Act request in July from the nonprofit news site MuckRock, a State’s Attorney representative wrote that the office does not possess records regarding misconduct allegations or violations of police policy unless they have prosecuted that officer.
