1 Policy 711 Subject Date Published DOMESTIC VIOLENCE Page DRAFT 20 March of 13 By Order of the Police Commissioner POLICY As reflected in Maryland law, violent crime particularly impacts those with whom a suspect has or had an Intimate Relationship. Baltimore Police Department (BPD) members are required to treat Domestic Violence incidents in the same professional manner as all other requests for police service and will provide immediate, effective assistance and protection for victims and witnesses. BPD is committed to conducting investigations free from gender bias and other stereotypes. DEFINITIONS Domestic Incident Any occurrence, criminal or non-criminal, involving a person with whom the individual has or had an Intimate Relationship. Domestic Violence Any criminal act or attempted criminal act involving persons who have an Intimate Relationship or had an Intimate Relationship within the last 12 months. Intimate Relationship Persons involved in an Intimate Relationship are partners, regardless of sexual orientation, who: 1. Are married, separated, or divorced; 2. Live or have lived together in an intimate manner within the last 12 months; 3. Have a child or children in common; or 4. Have engaged in sexual or other intimate activity within the last 12 months, regardless of whether they have lived together. Persons not involved in an Intimate Relationship within the meaning of the definition are: 1. Other family members, such as children or parents; and 2. Individuals living together in a non-intimate situation, such as in a dormitory or rooming arrangement. Stalking A malicious course of conduct that includes approaching or pursuing another person with the intent (or where the likely outcome would be) to either: cause serious emotional distress OR to place the victim in reasonable fear of assault, false imprisonment, a sex offense or attempted sex offense, serious bodily injury, or death to themselves or a third person.
2 Policy 711 DOMESTIC VIOLENCE Page 2 of 13 ARREST POLICY 1. For crimes committed against a current or former spouse or intimate partner, BPD follows a preferred arrest response where arrest is allowed by law. 2. If there is probable cause to believe that a person has committed a crime of Domestic Violence against a current or former spouse or intimate partner, the preferred response of the officer is the arrest of the offender where it is legal to do so. 3. Although BPD does not have a mandatory arrest policy, officers are required to use all reasonable means to prevent further abuse, exploitation, or neglect, including the arrest of the offender when legal to do so. Officers should not base their decision to arrest on whether they believe the case will be prosecuted. 4. Dual arrests are discouraged. If a police officer has probable cause to believe that mutual battery occurred, the officer is required to consider whether one of the persons acted in self-defense when determining whether to arrest. 5. For relationships other than that of a current or former spouse or intimate partner, BPD does not have a preferred arrest policy. Officers should refer to Policy 1106, Warrantless Arrest Procedures and Probable Cause Standard to make an analysis as to whether arrest would be necessary or advisable. Officers shall use reasonable means to prevent abuse, exploitation, or neglect. This may include the arrest of the offender if allowed by law and policy. Warrantless Arrests: 1. Warrantless Arrests must be made consistent with the law as well as Policy 1106, Warrantless Arrest Procedures and Probable Cause Standard. 2. Under Maryland law, an officer may not normally make an arrest for a misdemeanor which did not occur in his/her presence. Under certain circumstances, however, Maryland law does allow warrantless arrest for misdemeanors frequently related to Domestic Violence such as: assault, Stalking, and violation of a peace or protective order. See Policy 1106 for a more complete list of exceptions. 3. A warrantless arrest can be made for misdemeanor assault, Stalking, and/or violation of a protective order under the following circumstances: 3.1. Assault (2 nd Degree Assault) An officer may make a warrantless arrest for misdemeanor (2nd degree) assault committed outside his/her presence where there is probable cause to believe that: The suspect battered his/her spouse or another person with whom the suspect resides; There is evidence of physical injury; and Unless the suspect is arrested immediately, the suspect: May not be apprehended;
3 Policy 711 DOMESTIC VIOLENCE Page 3 of May cause physical injury or property damage to another; OR May tamper with, dispose of, or destroy evidence. NOTE: To make a warrantless arrest for misdemeanor assault under these circumstances, a report to the police must have been made within 48 hours of the alleged incident. NOTE: Evidence of physical injury does not need to be visible for an officer to be able to make an arrest; there only needs to be probable cause to believe that there has been a physical injury Stalking An officer may make a warrantless arrest for misdemeanor Stalking committed outside his/her presence where ALL of the following conditions are met: The member has probable cause to believe that the suspect has committed the crime of Stalking, There is some credible evidence supporting the probable cause beyond the victim s statements, and There is reason to believe the alleged victim or another person is in danger of imminent bodily harm or death Violation of a Protective or Peace Order Warrantless arrests for violation of a peace or protective order are governed by Policy 1110, Protective and Peace Orders.
