How to Find Dundalk Jail Mugshots
Baltimore County does not post jail mugshots online. There is no public inmate roster you can browse. This is different from some other states where counties publish booking photos on a website. In Maryland, jail mugshots are law enforcement records. You need a formal request to get them.
The Maryland Judiciary Case Search is the best free starting point. It covers all courts in the state.

The system covers both the District Court in Dundalk at 1401 Merritt Boulevard and the Circuit Court in Towson.
