Feds accuse Md. county of racial bias in hiring officers
The lawsuit asks for a court order barring the county from using written exams in the hiring process for LEOs "where such use results in a disparate impact on African Americans"
TOWSON, Md. — A Maryland county's written exams for hiring police officers have discriminated against black applicants for several years, the U.S. Justice Department alleged Tuesday in a lawsuit.
The federal lawsuit, filed by the department's civil rights division, claims Baltimore County's use of the pass/fail written exams led to hiring fewer blacks as entry-level police officers and police cadets than it would have had it used a "non-discriminatory screening device."
