The Foundation would like to take a moment to remember Chief Cornelius J. Behan who served as Chief of the Police for the Baltimore County Police Department for 17 years (1977-1993). Sadly, Chief Behan passed away on January 7, 2022.
During his tenure with Baltimore County, Chief Behan formed the Baltimore County Police Foundation to serve as a bridge between the Police and the business community. Operating for 43 years now, the Foundation is proud of the work it has done to serve the Police Department and is grateful for Chief Behan's vision in creating this outstanding organization.
In 2015, the Foundation had opportunity to interview Chief Behan as part of its 35th Anniversary of the Annual Awards Program. During this video, Chief Behan reflects on his vision in creating the Foundation. We invite you to take a moment to hear our story and celebrate the life and legacy of an outstanding Chief.
