COMPUTER FORENSICS INVESTIGATION UNIT
The Computer Crimes/Computer Forensic Unit falls under the Criminal Investigations
Unit. There is one deputy, Sgt. Christopher Howard assigned to this unit. The Washington
County Sheriff’s Office is an Affiliate Member of the Maryland Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force. As an affiliate member, the ICAC refers investigations to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office when suspects would fall within our jurisdiction.
Sgt. Howard has received specialized training in conducting investigations into crimes
that involve the use of a computer and the internet. Additionally, he has received specialized
training in conducting forensic examinations of computers and other digital storage media.
During 2008, he attended the International Association of Computer Investigative Specialists
(IACIS) conference and began the process to become a Certified Computer Forensic Examiner
(CFCE). That process was completed in the first part of 2009 and Sgt. Howard has obtained his
CFCE certification.
During 2008, Sgt. Howard also received training in the use of ImageScan. This is a
Linux based tool that allows properly trained investigators to conduct forensically sound previews of suspect computers for contraband files. Sgt. Howard also received training in the use
of EP2P software to conduct undercover investigations into the use of various peer-to-peer networks for trafficking of child pornography.
In 2008 the Computer Crimes/Computer Forensic Unit conducted formal forensic computer examinations in 5 separate cases. The total amount of data that was examined in those
cases exceeded 1.5 Terabytes (TB). Informal examinations and/or previews were conducted in
support of cases being handled by the Smithsburg Police Department and the Maryland State
Police (Hagerstown Barrack) as well.
During 2008 the Computer Crimes/Computer Forensic Unit conducted investigations
into 10 reports of computer related crimes against children. These cases primarily involved the
possession and or distribution of child pornography.
Additionally, Sgt. Howard received the initial complaint and initiated the investigation
into the child pornography possession case involving former Maryland State Delegate Robert
McKee. This case was referred for Federal prosecution and was handled jointly by Sgt. Howard and the FBI agent assigned to work in their Innocent Images program. As a result of the
investigation, Mr. McKEE was sentenced to 37 months in Federal Prison, and upon his release
he will be subject to lifetime supervision and will have to register as a Sex Offender, also for
life.
Sgt. Howard also assisted the FBI Innocent Images Unit with 2 additional investigations
within Washington County. Both of these case resulted in search warrants being obtained and
Federal charges have been filed in one case. Federal charges are still pending in the second
case.

Domestic Violence Investigator
A Criminal Investigator is assigned, in addition to normal investigative duties to monitor all Domestic Violence reports submitted by Patrol Deputies. Upon review of the Domestic
Violence reports, if additional investigation , photographs or referrals to Domestic Violence
Victim services are needed. The investigator also reviews lethality assessments completed by
Patrol Deputies to determine if any circumstances were reported that may indicate the potential
of risk to the life or safety of the victim or family members. The investigator may intervene if
need arises.
The Domestic Violence Investigator works with CASA, to conduct home visits with
victims of domestic violence to insure the safety of the CASA personnel and to take action if
any situations arise where law enforcement intervention is needed.

Washington County Narcotics Task Force
Sgt. Todd Kerns
The Washington County Board of County Commissioners, the Mayor and Council of
the City of Hagerstown, the Washington County States Attorneys Office, the Hagerstown Department of Police, and the Washington County Sheriff’s Office entered into a written agreement creating the Washington County Narcotics Task Force on October 6, 1986. The Narcotics
Task Force (NTF) conducts and coordinates covert investigations involving illegal drug transactions that affect the citizens of Washington County under the guidance of the board of directors
currently comprised of Sheriff Douglas Mullendore, Chief Arthur Smith and States Attorney
Charles Strong. The Sheriff’s Office has four deputies assigned as investigators, and one supervisor assigned to the Washington County Narcotics Task Force. Furthermore, the Washington
County Gang Task Force works in conjunction with the Narcotics Task Force with one county
deputy and one city police officer comprising the unit.
In 2008 Narcotics Task Force Agents continued their dual role as local drug investigators and Federally Deputized Task Force Officers working in conjunction with the Drug Enforcement Administration. This allows the agents to proactively address, both the street level
dealer and the source of supply for the drugs as well. Crack cocaine and marijuana continued
as being the drugs most investigated by agents.
During 2008, the Narcotics Task Force opened 300 investigations, which led to the arrest
of 395 persons. The majority of the arrests involved the distribution of crack cocaine. Additionally, the Narcotics Task Force executed a total of 62 search and seizure warrants in 2008.
Of the 62 executed, 42 were within the city of Hagerstown and 20 were in Washington County,
outside of the Hagerstown City limits.
The Narcotics Task Force has a yearly-operating budget of approximately $586,880.00.
This amount includes salaries for two secretaries, an intelligence analyst and two prosecutors
who are assigned to the Task Force. During 2008, the Narcotics Task Force seized and received forfeiture of 10 motor vehicles. Additionally, a total of approximately $74,000.00 U.S.
currency was seized.
Part of the responsibility of the Washington County Narcotics Task Force and the Washington County Gang Task Force is to provide awareness to the public of the local drug and gang
trends and how citizens can assist the Narcotics Task Force and the Gang Task Force reduce
criminal activities in Washington County. To this end, Task Force Agents regularly speak at
various functions in the local schools and civic organizations to provide them information on
the problems of illegal drugs and criminal gangs in Washington County.
36
Sgt. Todd Kerns (Washington County Sheriff’s Office) is the current “Director” of the Washington County Narcotics Task Force. Through written agreement, the position of “Director” is
alternated every two years between a supervisor with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office

Gang Task Force members taught gang identification to the Western Maryland Regional Police Academy and to Waynesboro Area High School, as well as assisted the Waynesboro Police Dept in their anti-gang efforts. A gang awareness handbook was designed by members of the Criminal Gang Task Force and implemented for staff use by the Washington County
Board of Education.
Criminal Gang Investigation Task Force agents were requested to speak at several major
training events, including the 2008 Maryland Legislative round table and a large gang summit
in May 2008 in Clarksburg, West Virginia hosted by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco & Firearms. As result of these summits and presentations Criminal Gang Investigation Task Force
Agents were able to promote the agency and build upon more contacts.
Criminal Gang Investigation Task Force agents created a gang validation form to be
used to document gang members in an official and constitutional manner. This form was implemented with the Washington County Detention Center as well. Criminal Gang Task Force
Agents work closely with Maryland State Correctional Gang Investigators at the three local
State prisons. Twenty One (21) gang members were released locally from DOC in 2008. Approximately 20 more members were contacted or validated by arrest and/or contact and numerous associates were contacted. A total of 726 Criminal Gang members were released throughout
the state from State prison facilities. Numerous interviews were held with incarcerated gang
members at the MD DOC. Meetings were also held with Department of Corrections gang investigators on a regular basis. Out of the meetings I am now emailed money transactions by suspected inmates dealing with gangs and CDS, this information is shared with Narcotics Task
Force Agents when received.
39
Narcotics Task Force Intelligence Analyst Calvin Sipes created a gang information database formed by using Microsoft Access and was put into use in Jan. of 2009. Funding for a
Criminal Gang Intelligence Analyst was secured by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office to
provide full time support to Criminal Gang Investigation Task Force Agents. Intelligence Analysts maintain information databases and review reports to assist Gant Task Force Agents.

more so in the state of Maryland.
Criminal Gang Task Force Agents assisted in a recent Rape/Witness intimidation case
with Washington County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Unit, involving a Crip gang
member. Gang information and gang codes were found on Myspace.com by gang unit for validation and for future use. Criminal Gang indicia and testimony by Criminal Gang task Force
Agents were used to assist in the sentencing of the suspect for a gang crime.
Criminal Gang Task Force Agents assisted Hagerstown Police Department Detective
Bureau with a shooting involving two known gang members. Suspect 1 presented a gun during
an argument, Suspect 2 also produced a gun and opened fire, and both suspects were known to
be gang members.

Agent Shifflet still remains the Western Region Director and is a major contributor to
MARGIN and also coordinates monthly meetings and shares information daily with allied
agencies and other officers specific to gang investigation.
Various gang “bibles” have been collected to incorporate various Blood sets and DMI
(Dead Man Incorporated). This information has been placed in binders at the office and is used
as intelligence with membership, history and rules and regulations. At least 10 of the books
have been compiled within the last year.
A major interview was held with a Lt. Commander of DMI this interview was transcribed and documented and yielded information as to local leadership and new recruiting
methods.
In March of 2008 based on the knowledge base and inner workings of DMI. Agent
Shifflet was used by Agent Horace Thomas and Agent Ethan Johnson to interview a DMI member of major standing in the North Branch Correctional Institute to assist with an investigation
initiated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
In July of 2008 Agent Shifflet responded to off duty to a report of several members of
the Pagans OMG in the Big Pool, MD. Agent Shifflet was able to locate the members obtain
tags and information. The members were believed to be in or passing through the area due to a
major meeting with the Outlaws to become allies.

Sex Offender Registration Unit
By Paula Kriner
In the State of Maryland sex offenders are registered under one of the following categories: Child Sexual Offender, Sexually Violent Offender, Offender or a Sexual Violent Predator.
As of December 31, 2008, there were 131 child sexual offenders, 29 sexually violent offenders,
18 offenders, and 1 sexually violent predator registered in Washington County for a total of
179. All offenders are male with the exception of 1 female. All reside in Washington County
with the exception of 9 who reside out of the state but are employed in Washington County.
Registrant totals fluctuate during the year due to incarceration, relocations and deaths. 365 sexual offender registrations were processed in the year of 2008.
In 2008, new registrations were completed for 19 child sexual offenders, 12 sexually
violent offenders, 4 offenders and 0 sexually violent predators. 8 offenders were charged with
various violations of the registry laws in the year 2008. Most violations involved offenders failing to notify the registry within 5 days of an address change. A person who violates these provisions for a first offense is guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction is subject to imprisonment not exceeding 3 years or a fine not exceeding $5,000.00, or both. For a second or subsequent offense, is guilty of a felony and on conviction is subject to imprisonment not exceeding
5 years or a fine not exceeding $10,000 or both.
The Washington County Sheriff’s Office sends notification of child sexual offenders to
public and private schools in the county where the child sexual offender resides, or where a
non-resident child sexual offender works or attends school. Superintendents must send notification to principals of schools near an offenders address. When a registrant resides in a community protected by a local police department, the Sheriff’s Office also sends a copy of the notice
of registration to that local police department. In our jurisdiction we forward the information to
the following departments: Boonsboro, Hagerstown, Hancock and Smithsburg.
The Washington County Sheriff’s Office, Sex Offender Registry Unit, is partially
funded by the Sex Offender Compliance and Enforcement (SOCM) grant. The grant funds a
part-time sex offender registrar who completes the registration process on each offender. The
grant also funds a part-time sex offender compliance monitor who verifies the residence of all
registered sex offenders residing in Washington County. The compliance monitor is essentially
verifying and conducting address verification checks on each registrant approximately every 4
weeks. During 2008, the compliance monitor conducted approximately 1,799 address verifications.
All categories of sexual offenders are required to register in person every six months
with the exception of a sexual violent predator who is required to register every 3 months. The
term of registration is 10 years or life depending on the convicted offense. Currently, we have
46 offenders with a 10-year registration term and the remainder will register for life.
.
44
On Halloween evening about 50 registered sexual offenders, those on supervised probation in Washington County were required to attend at 4 hour meeting at an undisclosed location.
The meeting was mandatory for registrants and failure to attend could have resulted in an offender violating probation. During this meeting, offenders were able to ask questions about
state laws. Agents from the Division of Parole and Probation along with the Sex Offender Registrar reviewed and answered any conditions of supervision and sex offender laws.
Mr. Jim Wolfensberger
The Sheriff’s Office Patrol Training Coordinator has a myriad of duties and responsibilities. The Training Coordinator manages the training of the Patrol, Judicial, and Narcotics
Divisions. These duties include daily contact with Patrol and Civilian employees in order to
provide direction, instruction and scheduling regarding state mandated training, specialized
training, and recruit training. The Training Coordinator is responsible for training that is both
provided and/or received.
The Training Coordinator is the agency’s liaison with the Maryland Police and Correctional Training Commission (MPCTC). The Training Coordinator insures that the Sheriff’s Office follows all State of Maryland mandated regulations pertaining to police officer hiring, certification, and training. MPCTC regulations are very specific and the Training Coordinator must
validate and document their compliance. In addition, all applicable County policy is also followed.
The Training Coordinator is also responsible for the application process, and the management of the selection of new employees up to, but not including, the final hiring decision.
After the completion of all testing, background investigations and interviews, the Training Coordinator makes new employee selection recommendations directly to Command Staff and the
Sheriff.
In 2008 the coordination and management of all court ordered Victim Impact Panel
meetings was added to the Training Coordinator’s responsibilities. Persons that are found guilty
of DUI/DWI offenses are ordered by the court to attend these presentations. The panel is made
up of alcohol-related crash victims and offenders. During panel meetings, both victims and offenders tell their stories revealing the profound impact of alcohol-related accidents and deaths.
The goal of this program is to reduce recidivism among DUI/DWI offenders by putting them
face to face with real victims. The Sheriff’s Office coordinates 8 presentations per year. Each
year, approximately 600 to 700 DUI/DWI offenders are court ordered to attend the Sheriff’s
Office program.
During 2008 Patrol, Judicial, and Detention personnel participated in over 15 job fairs in
an effort to recruit the best qualified applicants for both sworn and non-sworn positions.
The Patrol Training Office received 420 applications for employment. Of the 420 applications
received, 194 were applicants for Patrol or Judicial Deputy positions. Out of 194 deputy applicants, 20 passed all phases of testing and were placed on the Patrol Deputy Eligibility list. The
patrol division hired 5 deputies in 2008. The remaining 226 applications were for positions of
non-sworn status. After processing, interviews and final selections, 9 non-sworn positions were
filled.

Washington County Sheriff’s Crime Analyst
By Ms. Karie Kirchoff
The crime analyst position is a newly grant funded position in the Washington County
Sheriff’s Office. This position was introduced to the Sheriff’s Office in mid-September 2008.
The main purpose of the crime analyst position is to identify and forecast future crime patterns,
series and trends. The crime analyst uses crime mapping software (ArcGIS) to assist in identifying the location of criminal offenses and their relative location to similar incidents. Every day
the crime analyst collects, evaluates, compiles and analyzes crime data from various sources
such as: the Washington County CAD/RMS system, the Detention Center RMS, Investigative
Reports, Calls for Service and Event Reports.
47
Information is also obtained and distributed through outside law enforcement agencies,
such as the Hagerstown Police Department, Frederick County Sheriff’s Office, Frederick City
Police Department and the Maryland State Police. The analyst focuses mainly on Burglaries, Malicious Destruction to Property and Theft from Motor Vehicle cases; however, Part 1 Offense
cases are also reviewed daily.
Each week the analyst releases reports to inform the Command Staff and Patrol Deputies
of criminal incidents occurring in the county. Some of these reports include: a Weekly Activity
Report, Detention Center Release Report, Weekly Comparison Report and Weekly Sector Comparison Report. The Weekly Activity Report displays all of the cases for Burglary, Malicious Destruction of Property and Theft from Motor Vehicle that have occurred within the last week. The
Detention Center Release Report displays the recently released detainees and what his or her
criminal charges were for their imprisonment. The Weekly/Sector Comparison Report is a statistical report that shows criminal trends, and whether the trend is increasing or decreasing. A crime
map is also produced weekly to help the analyst keep a track of the movement of crime and any
developing patterns and/or series of crime. The crime analyst also manages and obtains three different databases for Burglary, Malicious Destruction to Property and Theft from Motor Vehicle
cases on a daily basis.
On an as needed basis the crime analyst will release a Crime Bulletin. A Crime Bulletin
displays and explains a crime pattern or series that has been identified. A crime map is also included to show where and when patrols need to be made. Every month the crime analyst releases
a Monthly Report. This report shows the trends for the month and comparisons for the prior
month and year. Maps, graphs and charts are all included in the report. Top areas of crime locations are also detailed in this report, to assist with patrolling.
In addition to this, the crime analyst also produces photo lineups, wanted posters and obtains criminal incident information for Investigators and Deputies on a request basis. Also, the
analyst attends multiple weekly or bi-weekly meetings to explain any indentified crime patterns
and trends. COMPSTAT is one of the most important meetings for the crime analyst. The analyst
produces and provides the Command Staff with intelligence information for a two week time
span. Some examples of the information distributed during this meeting is: Statistical Comparison
Reports, Open Cases, crime maps, a review from the previous meeting, Part 1 Offense, Tops Area
for Calls for Service and emerging Trend/Pattern Sheet.
Since October 2008, the analyst has been enrolled in an online Crime Analyst/ ArcGIS
training course presented by Washington College. This course demonstrates the components of
ArcGIS, and provides all of the enrolled students with exercises that reinforce weekly lectures.
Weekly homework assignments are designed to strengthen the analyst’s crime mapping skills.
In December 2008, the crime analyst attended a week long i2 Analyst Notebook 7 training
course. This course was an in-depth software training course that demonstrated the usefulness of
link-charts. The analyst learned how to export and import data into the software, develop plans
for successful offender and crime link-charts, develop a time frame of events, combine numerous
criminal cases and narrow all the cases down to one suspect, demonstrate the relationship between everyone individual in the incident and the crime, presentation requirements of charts and
description/narratives input for every component on the chart.
48
In December 2008, the crime analyst also attended the first ever Crime Analyst Submit.
This was a day long event that allowed all analysts from Maryland to come together. Presentations were given on multiple issues and training opportunities in the field of crime analysis.
Each week the crime analyst attends the Western Maryland Information Center
(WMIC), located in the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office. The WMIC is a central location for
all of western Maryland law enforcement agencies to come together to discuss possible regional
crime patterns. The WMIC also distributes bulletins for all western Maryland law enforcement
agencies on a daily basis to aid in information sharing and assist with investigations. All agencies have a weekly commitment of at least 8 hours in the center.
Since September 2008, the crime analyst has provided multiple crime maps and information to Investigators and Patrol Deputies, which has aided in the arrest of suspects. In midOctober through November 2008, the analyst supplied one of the Investigators with crime maps
and information to assist in over ninety Theft from Motor Vehicle cases in the county. In addition to this, the crime analyst was able to use Investigative Reports and the Detention Center’s
RMS to correctly identify a suspect who went on a Burglary spree in late December 2008. The
same day, the analyst release the suspect’s name, the suspects was arrest within two hours after
committing another Burglary.
In 2009, the crime analyst will be managing the Washington County Sheriff’s Office
website’s Crime Statistics, Most Wanted and the Crime of the Month page. The analyst will be
releasing new reports that will aid in the patrol efforts of the county, compiling an Arrest Report
for the COMPSTAT meeting, attending a week long formal Crime Analyst training course in
March and will be relying more on information sharing with other law enforcement agencies to
further deter future criminal incidents.
Washington County Sheriff’s Office COMPSTAT
By Karie Kirchoff
The Washington County Sheriff’s Office implemented COMPSTAT at the end of November in 2008. COMPSTAT is a data driven meeting in which information regarding criminal
offenses in a two week time span is assessed. At each COMPSTAT meeting crime maps are
displayed that pin point where crime is occurring. Reports such as: a review of the last meeting,
an Open Case Report, Top Areas for Calls for Service, Trend/ Pattern Report, Part 1 Offenses
Report, Sector Comparison Report and Weekly and Sector Statistical Comparison Reports are
reviewed. Each Lieutenant is responsible for a patrol sector(s) within the county. During
COMPSTAT each Lieutenant displays his detailed knowledge of the sector’s criminal offenses,
especially in the Burglary, Malicious Destruction to Property and Theft from Motor Vehicle
cases. During this time, the Major, Captain and Lieutenants develop methods and plans to deter
future criminal acts. For example, if a certain sector has a high Burglary incident rate, a plan
may be devised to conduct surveillance on a possible suspect. COMPSTAT also gives the Command Staff an idea of where and when to patrol. COMPSTAT is still evolving and is becoming
an effective tool for the Washington County Sheriff’s Office in lowering the crime rate.

Washington County Sheriff’s Crime Prevention Unit
By Dfc. James Holsinger
Crime prevention, by definition, is taking some action to prevent or reduce the chances
of criminal activity. The Sheriff’s Office has two deputies assigned to full-time crime prevention and community relations activities. The agency utilizes other deputies on a part-time basis.
The Sheriff’s Office was very busy with crime prevention programs in 2008. Listed below are
some of those activities.
CHILDREN’S VILLAGE
Three deputies taught ninteen classes at Children’s Village in 2008. All second grade
students in the Washington County Public Schools spend two days at Children’s Village learning about traffic safety, personal safety, proper use of the “911” system, bicycle safety, and
dealing with strangers. The children who attend these classes learn to respect police officers as
human beings doing a job.
SECURITY SURVEYS
The Washington County Sheriff’s Office continues to offer free security assessments of
residential and commercial properties within Washington County. Seventeen surveys were
conducted during 2008. The purpose of these security assessments is to identify weaknesses in
physical security and make recommendations for security improvements.
SUMMER CAMPS

YOUTH COURT
Youth Court is a diversion program for first-time juvenile offenders that may be
used in place of formal charging procedures. Upon implementation, this program will provide
consistent corrective action to offenders eligible for participation, while keeping them out of the
formal Juvenile Services process. As a side benefit, high school students willing to volunteer to
assist with this program will gain Service Learning Hours from the Washington County Public
Schools. There were twenty-three events associated with this program in 2008.

DWI / DUI Enforcement
Deputies on patrol are constantly on the look out for drivers who are driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or prescription medications. These drivers pose a serious
risk to themselves and other motorists on the highways of Washington County.
All Patrol Division deputies are certified in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing. These
tests are nationally recognized as providing the most accurate indication of whether a person is
driving with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of .08% or more. In the State of Maryland,
.08% BAC is considered prima facia evidence that a person is driving under the influence.
The Sheriff’s Office participates in a Statewide program which uses the Intoximeter ER/
IR instrument to test the BAC of a driver arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or
while intoxicated. The instrument is controlled and maintained by the Toxicologist Office for
the State of Maryland. The Sheriff’s Office has twelve certified operators for the Intoximeter
ER/IR instrument. Completion of a 40 hour course of instruction by the Maryland State Police
Chemical Test For Alcohol Unit (CTAU) is required for certification as an Intoximeter ER/IR
operator. The operator must then be re-certified each year by attending a one day seminar on
the use of the instrument.
A total of 364 Driving Under the Influence (DUI) and Driving while Intoxicated (DWI)
arrests were made by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office in 2008 .
