Keeping Baltimore County Safe

As a first responder, Julian knows how to keep our communities safe. His record as a councilman is unmatched: Julian has adopted legislation to keep guns out of our parks and provide body cameras for our officers.

Through his leadership, Baltimore County passed its first-ever police reform legislation, ending chokeholds and making it easier to report misconduct.

As County Executive, Julian will:

• Ensure that police, firefighters and EMS have the resources they need to protect our residents, from competitive pay to renovated and expanded facilities and modernized vehicles.
• Provide resources for equipment and training that keep our safety professionals at the top of their skill level.
• Demand accountability and professionalism, so that our first responders have the trust they need to face emerging threats.
• Tackle the root causes of community instability, from drug abuse and mental illness to code violations and deterioration.

A Proven Track Record

With 31 years of service in the fire department, rising from firefighter to Division Chief, Julian understands public safety from the ground up. He led Maryland Fire and EMS forces on a rescue mission to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, demonstrating his leadership in crisis situations.

As Council Chairman, Julian has championed smart, effective public safety policies that protect our communities while building trust between residents and first responders. His balanced approach ensures that our safety professionals have the tools they need while maintaining the accountability our communities deserve.
