Montgomery County names new police chief
Montgomery County selects Charles A. Moose, a 45-year-old Portland, Oregon veteran, to lead the force after a five month nationwide search. County Executive Douglas M. Duncan credits Moose as a proven leader with a focus on outreach and community policing while vowing to address alleged racial profiling and excessive force through training, tools, and de escalation. Moose, set to begin Aug. 1 at a $125,000 salary, emphasizes credentials over race and plans community meetings as his first priority.
