He’s still keeping his 3-member county police security detail though. So don’t worry DCUM, Elrich will still be safe wherever he goes.

The budget increase is for compensation. He’s cutting services so he can give the remaining cops a raise.

Elrich is eliminating 29 law enforcement positions and reallocating funds to mental health.

It will be interesting to see where this goes. I bet MoCo’s conservative minority is going nuts.

I bet MoCo residents will start going nuts once more gangs arrive from the border.

We have lots of mental health in the county. We can always use more but that is not the right way to go about it.
