Montgomery Village's Public Safety Town Hall Scheduled For Nov. 9

MONTGOMERY VILLAGE, MD — Montgomery County Councilmember Craig Rice will be holding a virtual town hall next week to discuss public safety tips and initiatives in Montgomery Village.

The public safety town hall will be held in a webinar format on Monday, Nov. 9 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Residents are invited to register for the event online at https://tinyurl.com/MVTownHall. Registrants will be able to ask Rice and other town hall attendees about a variety of issues, including tips for a safe holiday season.

Rice will be joined by Fire Chief Scott Goldstein, Sheriff Darren Popkin, Montgomery County State's Attorney John McCarthy, and the newly appointed 6th District Commander Michael Ward with the Montgomery County Police Department.

"During the past nine months our lives have been upended by the pandemic and, at times, has led to social isolation for many in our community. I look forward to our conversation with residents about public safety and listening to the needs of community members in Montgomery Village," said Rice.

The town hall will be televised on County Cable Montgomery (Comcast Channels 6 and 996, Verizon Channel 30, and RCN Channels 6 and 1056). It will also be livestreamed on Facebook at Facebook.com/RicePolitics. Questions can be texted in advance or during the town hall to 240-686-5334.
