Glass & Ivey: Community policing in Montgomery County — by the community

It has been almost two years since the tragic death of George Floyd. In the aftermath, Montgomery County and local communities across the country have made significant efforts to reimagine public safety and support policies that improve racial equity and social justice. One of the most important areas of this work has focused on police reform and ensuring that every resident — regardless of race, immigration status or Zip code — feels safe in the community. As we emerge from the pandemic, the entire country is experiencing an increase in crime and violence.
