[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How hard would it be to bring a mini-precinct back to DTSS? MPD has done this in a few neighborhoods, including Chinatown. Why not accept that moving the precinct from DTSS way out to Colesville was a bad idea, and open something up co-located with the fire station? [/quote]

That sounds incredibly logical to me. Which means it is kryptonite to MoCo leadership.[/quote]

Maybe they could take over the Starbucks space, since they are closing due to security concerns?

Honestly, it's such a shame. Montgomery County has invested so much in DTSS over the past fifteen years, and they appear to be ready to let it all go to waste because a small (but vocal) group of residents want to pretend there's not a problem. [/quote]

It doesn't like residents are ones pretending there's not a problem. It's county leadership (Elrich) and the police stating that.[/quote]

PP here. You are right. I was unclear. Residents (including all of the relevant neighborhood associations, many of the resident associations for apartment buildings, and the small business associations) are very concerned. As far as I can tell, every single one of the neighborhood associations has requested a meeting with MCPD to discuss the situation, and the two business associations have been very vocal.

There is a small group claiming there is no issue, but they are in a minority. Unfortunately, they have a fair amount of political power. [/quote]
