The United Food & Commercial Workers Local 400 Union has scheduled a vote of no confidence against Annapolis Police Chief Edward Jackson and his command staff for August 8, 2024. This decision follows the controversial suspension of two officers, which the union claims was retaliatory for whistleblowing on mismanagement within the department. Mayor Gavin Buckley maintains his support for Chief Jackson, stating that an independent review found no violations in the officers' suspension, which he classified as administrative matters. Union officials argue that the suspensions violate state and federal laws protecting whistleblowers and have filed grievances against the department. John Lee, the union's director, emphasized that the no-confidence vote reflects serious turmoil within the department's leadership. The union's stance highlights a significant rift between officers and the upper management of the Annapolis Police Department.
