ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Governor Larry Hogan today issued an executive order creating the Maryland Behavioral Health and Public Safety Center of Excellence Advisory Group. The creation of the advisory group is a recommendation from the Commission to Study Mental and Behavioral Health in Maryland, chaired by Lt. Governor Boyd K. Rutherford.
“The creation of the Maryland Behavioral Health and Public Safety Center of Excellence Advisory Group will ensure the vital work of the Commission’s efforts to address the mental and behavioral health needs of our citizens involved in the judicial system will continue beyond our administration,” said Lt. Governor Rutherford. The Maryland Behavioral Health and Public Safety Center of Excellence was created via legislation passed by the Maryland General Assembly and signed into law by Governor Hogan during the 2021 legislative session.
The advisory group will work with the Maryland Behavioral Health and Public Safety Center of Excellence in the following manner:
- Advise on the development and implementation of the Center of Excellence’s action plan that assists in diverting those with mental illness, intellectual, and developmental disabilities from criminal justice involvement to appropriate or necessary treatment
- Support the Center of Excellence’s Sequential Intercept Model as a planning tool to strategically inform legislation, policy, planning, and funding
- Advise on potential federal funding streams that the Center of Excellence can apply for to support the center’s mission
- Advise on the creation of repositories for best practices throughout the state.
- Advise on the implementation and continuation of other appropriate duties or responsibilities that are part of the Commission to Study Mental & Behavioral Health in Maryland
The advisory group will consist of:
- The Lieutenant Governor, or designee
- Executive Director of Governor’s Office of Crime Prevention, Youth, and Victim Services or appointee
- Secretary of the Department of Health or their designee (Darren J. McGregor, Director, Office of Crisis and Criminal Justice Services, Maryland Behavioral Health Administration)
- Secretary of Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services and their appointee
- Maryland Chiefs of Police appointee
- Maryland Sheriff’s Association appointee
- A member appointed by the Senate President
- A member appointed by the Speaker of the House
- Designee of Mental Health Association of Maryland
- Consideration for Federal Designee (US Department of Health and Human Services or Office of Justice Programs)
- National Alliance on Mental Illness of Maryland appointee
Housed in the Governor’s Office Crime Prevention, Youth and Victims Services, the center will act as a statewide clearing house for behavioral health related treatment and diversion programs develop a strategic plan to increase treatment and reduce detention of those with behavioral health disorders in the judicial system, and provide technical support for localities to develop behavioral health support systems for those involved in the criminal justice system.
Dumb dog, did you see this?? Now you can really get some help!
Hey btw mr know it all, remember when I said the Russian invasion wasn’t our problem and you tried to convince me otherwise and failed?
Guess what! The United States just approved 13 billion dollars in aid for Ukraine!!! On top of the already 19 million for those stinger missles that got sent over!
It really must hurt to be wrong almost all of the time doesn’t it?
As usual your post makes no sense.You claim Ukraine isn’t our concern. I said it was. The US govt is supporting my position and refuting yours. But you think you “won”?? You are truly stupid.
What’s the matter No Clue…facts got your fingers in knots?
I proved you totally wrong……AGAIN, sucks doesn’t it
FYI: You stated an opinion that Ukraine is not a US problem. The fact that the US is supporting Ukraine refutes your opinion.
Ah, the 6 year old tries to speak again.
I said this pointless war, because that’s exactly what it is, is not a United States problem….fact
I asked you if you truly thought Ukraine would help the United States if Russia tried to invade us, I said nope….your answer was nothing
I then told you that this will do nothing but add to the 31 trillion dollar debt and you said it won’t, last time I checked the United States sent 19 million in missles and 13 billion in aid, then I asked if you payed for it…..your answer was nothing
You provided no facts what so ever after I proved you wrong once again, you are truly dumb and I will continue to make you look dumb until you and your buddy ccdumb get off this site
No Clue, please point out where I said any money spent by the US on Ukriane won’t add to the debt? You won’t reply because I never said that. Your comment that Ukraine is not a US problem is your OPINION it is not a fact. Your OPINION that Ukraine would not help us if Russia invaded us is irrelevant.
Hoss you literally said that in the comments that YOU posted are you that dense????

Read your own comments
having an abortion can lead to crappy mental health. abortion doesn’t solve problems, it simply creates more problems.
improvements within the criminal justice system (CJS) that would improve mental health: responsible/ not excessive sentences, suggested by the SA & given by the judge, considering restitution for victims, instead of sentences, consider community service/ donations to charity, instead of sentences. Of course, it depends on what they’re accused of.
You do the crime you do the time
You do the crime you do the time
“Hoss you literally said that in the comments that YOU posted are you that dense????” No Clue, please learn how to read English. I said “Our debt has nothing to do with this.” I didn’t say the cost would not add to the debt. I also said that the “millions” you were talking about at the time were irrelevant to a $31T debt load. Again, I did not say the cost would not add to the debt. Please learn how to read English.
No reply from No Clue. What a surprise!!
I did, I told you to read your own comments, which you did not do
I copied and pasted my comments, you dolt. They refute what you claimed I said.
Yeah…didn’t think you would reply to this one. Even you had to see how stupid your posts were.
Then you need to learn to read, because I’ll recopy and paste your comments
You have the iq of a oyster
The United States just sent
$13,019,000,000 to Ukraine, do you understand now?
So I’ll ask again, did you fund that amount?
And yes this has everything to do with adding to our debt
You are truly one of the dumbest people I have ever come across
End of this discussion, go back to school
I understand you aren’t very bright. Everyone understands that. Your comments, as usual make no sense. Whether I paid for the resupply of Ukraine is irrelevant. Also, as usual, No Clue runs and hides when the stupidity of his posts are thrown back in his face.
Over 13 billion was added to a debt for a war that is not our problem, FACT!
you’re wrong again
End of conversation
Please go back to school and learn to read and stop contradicting your own comments
“Over 13 billion was added to a debt for a war that is not our problem, FACT!” Just to reiterate, this is YOUR opinion. It is NOT a fact. Really, really basic definitions you don’t seem to understand.
Btw no clue is very weak
It rhymes with nothing, come on you can do better than that snowflake ❄️❄️❄️ Oh wait you can’t 😂
I can think of all kinds for you though
Dumb dog eats last
Dumb dog can’t eat
Dumb dogs likes big pipeline
Small dog eats last
Small dog likes big dog pipeline
Come on snowflake
❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
None of which addresses the stupidity of your comments and my reply pointing this out. Since you have no actual facts or intelligent points to make, you post this childish reply.

What’s your point? Do you even know?
The above comments were the end of the conversation
“The above comments were the end of the conversation” In other words, the answer is “no”. You have no relevant point to make. Thanks for confirming.
Thanks for confirming that you’re not capable of reading
The point went over your head weeks ago
I said that further wasteful spending on this war will do nothing but add to the debt which was fact as I sent you multiple links showing this, I even sent you a link to the national debt clock but I know all those big numbers on there are very confusing to you
I asked a very simple question repeatedly which you fail to answer, therefore I’m 100 percent right end of conversation
On to the next article to make you look like a fool
Huh, I thought you were done?
And just to reiterate again, I answered your question every time you asked it. You just didn’t like the answer and therefore refused to acknowledge it. Your point about the debt is irrelevant. Posting the debt clock was irrelevant. Your repeated questions about whether or not I was paying for the US support to Ukraine were irrelevant AND idiotic. Your OPINION that Ukraine is not a US problem has been refuted by every act of the US govt and the prevailing opinion of the US population.
