Police Chief Defends Diversity Efforts Amid Recruitment Struggles
Chief Ashton defended the city police department against claims of racial discrimination and low minority hiring. He noted 11 black officers since 1966, with 3 fired or resigned and one remaining, while asserting pay matches the sheriff's department but deputies have easier duties. The department plans five cultural awareness sessions to boost minority responsiveness, and a consultant recruiter was discussed by critic Mahone, who urged new hiring strategies and broader turnover analysis. The city plans a revised performance system for officers, with evaluation across production and quality, potentially in place within 45 days.

Two juveniles, officer, and a grand jury clash
The chief described a shooting through a wall and a prior incident as part of a troubled pattern. A 37 year old homeless man testified during a January Gaithersburg arrest that Officer Albrecht used excessive force. Russell Mills Jr. suffered two fractured ribs and a head gash needing 14 stitches. Russell Mills Jr. is a Damascus High School graduate. Hanley Norment of the Montgomery County NAACP called the grand jury response unsatisfactory, saying a murder indictment should have been returned after a life was lost.
