They just opened their hiring process a few weeks ago
Lol I'm sure he of all people knows that but thats not an end all to be all......that drops what 15-30 new officers on the street every 3-4 months. I know my department is much larger but we easily lose 35-45 officers a month for various reasons.
Don't we already have a police force in MoCo. Rockville has their own police and Gaithersburg has their own police and it may be that some down county enclaves have their own police too. Don't we have park police too and maybe some more police. Do we really need the Sheriff's deputies getting out amongst the population? Why should we clog our hi-ways and by-ways with more police?
