Maryland State Police Vehicle Conditions
- 1/2 of the Maryland State Police Patrol Vehicles have more than 170,000 miles
- 55 Troopers are driving vehicles with more than 300,000 miles
- Only 300 patrol vehicles have fewer than 100,000 miles
Maryland State Police Cars are Falling Apart – Literally.
Last year, the Legislature committed to fund a vehicle replacement plan for the State Police using revenue from the Speed Camera program. This funding will allow the Maryland State Police to purchase 171 vehicles this year. While this is a good start, one or two years of funding will not fix a problem that took a decade to create. It is essential that – even in these difficult financial times – this funding remains in place.
