The FOP regrets to report the death of the following FOP member:

Police Officer Mark A. Warren

EOD:   8/22/1990

Date of Death:   February 2, 2010

P/O Mark Warren retired from the Baltimore Police Department on September 5, 2005 and was last assigned to the Southeastern District.  Additional information will be forthcoming as soon as we receive it.  Please keep P/O Warren and his family in your prayers.

On Friday, January 29, 2010, the FOP was informed the Police Commissioner was reversing the policy he implemented in late 2008 and would again begin releasing the names of our police officers who are involved in a police shooting after 48 hours of the incident. 

The FOP was an early supporter of the Police Commissioner when he adjusted the policy of the BPD of releasing police officer names and stood behind him during intense media and political pressure.  Now in 2010, for no apparent reason other than a change in the City Administration, the Police Commissioner is again adjusting this policy.
