The park system in Montgomery County includes 410 parks with more than 33,000 acres and 200 miles of hiking and biking trails. Also falling under park police jurisdiction are homes and businesses located in the park system.
The Montgomery County Police Department (www.montgomerycountymd.gov) has more than 1,133 patrol officers, most of whom work out of six district police stations and numerous substations in the more populous regions of the county. The department is led by Chief J. Thomas Manger. As of May 2012, headquarters operations for the county’s police, fire and emergency management departments began relocating to the Montgomery County Public Safety Headquarters in Gaithersburg. Operations for the police department’s Rockville district also were relocated to the new county public safety headquarters.
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office is responsible for a variety of services and duties that support the courts and law enforcement. Among the duties are serving warrants for the Circuit Court, as well as civil warrants for the District Court; transporting prisoners; providing courthouse security; enforcing judgments by the court; carrying out evictions and summonses; enforcing child support; and handling all domestic violence warrants for both courts.
