Annapolis Police Chief Edward Jackson gives an update. Annapolis Police updates the public on the Americana Drive fatal accident involving a two-year-old child, at the Annapolis Office of Emergency Management.

Overview

  • Littmann asked Edward Jackson to resign last week and, after he declined, relieved him of command immediately to ensure clear leadership.
  • Capt. Amy Miguez, a 25-year Annapolis Police Department veteran who most recently led administrative services, is serving as acting chief.
  • City officials highlighted continuity, praising Jackson’s work on diversifying the force, reentry efforts, and cold-case investigations.
  • The mayor said he wants a leader who can modernize the department, boost morale, leverage current policing technology, and communicate effectively.
  • The leadership change comes as the new administration reshapes other departments, with recent departures in the city attorney, human resources, and finance offices.
