Career
After serving in the military, Delegate Hutchins was a Maryland State Police Trooper. Once elected to office, he served on the Judiciary Committee, in addition to the gaming law & regulation, and criminal justice subcommittees, to name a few.
In 2003, Delegate Hutchins resigned to accept an appointment as Secretary of Veterans Affairs by Governor Robert Ehrlich. He served in this position for less than a year when he was appointed as the Secretary of the Maryland State Police, also by Governor Erhlich. 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.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“The 19-year-old Diana ... decided to make her career that of wife. Today that can be a very, very iffy line of work.... And what sometimes happens to the women who pursue it is the best argument imaginable for teaching girls that they should always be able to take care of themselves.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
