[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The 50% reduction in Police in DTSS is not true. The PP is throwing it around but  it’s not true. Patrols have increased in that area. [/quote]

I’m the PP. I refer you to page 27 of this report:
https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/rps/Resources/Files/reports/rps-task-force-recommendations-report.pdf

It recommends: 
12) “Reduce sworn officer FTEs in police Districts 3 and 4 by 50 % to reduce patrol officer contact with residents in these districts. The more than $12,000,000 saved from these reductions should be shifted by the County Executive 50% to other agencies and departments for quality of life improvements in these districts, including Community Partnerships, Health and Human Services, Housing and Community Affairs, and Recreation; and 50% to a new Community Safety Grants Program that would award grants to residents and local organizations in districts 3 and 4 to complete projects that improve public safety, improve economic conditions and alleviate poverty, and increase community pride.”

Silver Spring is district 3. Wheaton is 4.

There is your Task Force in action. This is what your local government supports. Has it happened yet? Not officially, I believe. The current rhetoric against officers, however, has led to extreme shortages in that district, with very few recruits to fill the gaps.

Thanks for providing this information. Exactly -- it's a mess, thanks to Elrich and various police-hating members of the Council, in particular Jawando.[/quote]
