Kevin Clark is a former commissioner of the Baltimore Police Department, who held the position from early 2003 until November 2004. A former NYPD officer, Clark's term as police commissioner was strained with both the mayor and police department as Clark was involved in domestic issues and an unpopular turnover of veteran officers such as former Major Gary D'Addario. ["Source: Baltimore Sun, July 16, 2003."] He was fired by then-mayor (current governor) Martin O'Malley, resulting in a lawsuit in which he sought $120 million in damages and fought to get back his job [ [http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/local/bal-te.md.clark11nov11,1,6112199.story O'Malley fires Baltimore police commissioner - baltimoresun.com ] ] [ [http://wjz.com/topstories/Kevin.Clark.Baltimore.2.423163.html wjz.com - Former Commissioner Kevin Clark Back In Court ] ] . Clark's firing occurred following accusations of domestic violence toward his girlfriend, though he was not charged with any crime. O'Malley's justification for the firing had been that these accusations were distracting to his duties as a commissioner.

According to the motions filed to Clark, the firing was a violation of his contract.

On the day of his firing, O'Malley named Leonard Hamm as the interim commissioner, a job to which Hamm would be permanently assigned.

In 2005, Clark made a request to the Baltimore board of estimates for $75,000 in severance pay [ [http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/local/bal-md.clark20jan20,1,1905151.story Clark asks for repeal of severance - baltimoresun.com ] ] . On April 4 of that year, Clark lost his case in court [ [http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/local/bal-md.clark05apr05,1,4788751.story Ex-city chief of police loses suit - baltimoresun.com ] ] .

In 2008, a court ruled in Clark's favor [ [http://www.abc2news.com/mostpopular/story.aspx?content_id=669b7381-d8f7-488c-8da1-9bdaaa5f5d89 Court Rules in Favor of Kevin Clark - Baltimore News, Weather, Channel 2 - WMAR-TV ] ]
