He replaced Ed Norris, who resigned after a criminal indictment. Ed Norris is also the former Baltimore City Chief of Police appointed by then Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley.
In 2007, newly elected Governor Martin O'Malley fired Hutchins and replaced him with Baltimore County Police Chief Terrence B. Sheridan. O'Malley was criticized be Maryland State Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller for removing Hutchins, who was the last appointed cabinet member remaining from the Ehrlich administration and the last member of the cabinet from Southern Maryland.
