[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another question I have is why RM always deals with RPD instead of MCPD, which has more resources and more expansive policing powers.  ROD does property crimes in Rockville retail areas, but if this is related to drug sales or gang activity, it should be routed to MCPD.[/quote]
Because Rockville is a city, and has Rockville PD. [/quote]

Yes but MCPD still has primary jurisdiction for policing major crimes I believe.  I’m not sure exactly where the work load is split (and would love to see the document if anyone has it), but in MD, the County PD (or sheriff office in counties with no county PD) is the plucking authority with general jurisdiction and any city departments are merely supplemental.  It may be that they get faster response from RPD on “small” crimes like trespass — that’s why cities establish these city PDs.  I just don’t know what the reasoning is, and I might like an explanation from the school and MCPD.[/quote]

There is an MOU, file an MPIA request.  It may even be on one of the PD's website.  Or simply call and ask, it is a very easy question to answer.[/quote]
