FREDERICK, Md. — On Friday morning, Frederick County Sheriff’s Office detectives arrested Daniel Joseph Morozewicz, currently of Frederick Maryland, on one count of child pornography. Morozewicz is a Rockville City police officer, currently on suspension for an unrelated matter, and a corporal assigned to the Maryland National Guard.

As part of the Internet Crimes Against Children unit and through a joint investigation with the Department of Homeland Security’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Baltimore field office, detectives “were able to monitor and track actions by Morozewicz between Sept. 8 and Dec. 30, 2020 of downloads containing images and videos of nude pre-pubescent females engaged in sexually explicit conduct.”

On Feb. 23, 2021, the U.S. District Court for Maryland issued a federal search warrant of the suspect, his home, and vehicle.

On March 5, detectives and HSI special agents successfully tracked Morozewicz to the Six Flags Park in Bowie, Maryland, where he was serving on active duty performing duties at a COVID-19 clinic. Detectives detained Morozewicz without incident. Later that day, detectives obtained evidence from Morozewicz’s home showing images identified as child pornography and placed him under arrest.

Detectives transported Morozewicz to jail where he bonded out.
