Media Advisory
Montgomery County Police Accountability Board to Hold First Listening Session for Public Feedback
For Immediate Release: Wednesday, March 22, 2023
This Thursday, March 23 Montgomery County’s Police Accountability Board (PAB) will hold its very first listening session to gather feedback about public safety from those who attend in person and online.
The PAB is a state-mandated board that is appointed by County Executives throughout Maryland and confirmed by County Councils. Last year, County Executive Marc Elrich’s appointees were confirmed by the Montgomery County Council and were tasked with creating new common procedures for police accountability and discipline. It is separate and not affiliated with the Police Advisory Commission, which was established by the County Council in 2019 to act in an advisory role to help with policing matters and recommend policies.
Residents who are interested in providing comments are encouraged to register for the event ahead of time to ensure their question is addressed. Another way to submit feedback is by visiting the PAB website and completing a comment card.
