County Executive Marc Elrich Releases Statement on Loss of Police Officer

“This is a very sad day for Montgomery County. We have about 10,000 County employees and when they go to work each day, they expect to be going home that night. That expectation is not as simple for our public safety employees. Even on their most routine days, they work with risks that most others do not take. Today, a much-respected officer, Thomas J. Bomba, will not be going home at the end of his shift. He dedicated his life’s work to the residents of Montgomery County. He was a 13-year veteran of the department, who was a friend to the officers he served with and a stalwart protector of the community he policed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and the Montgomery County Police Department. Our County lost one of our own and I ask the people of Montgomery County to keep Officer Bomba’s family, his friends and fellow officers in your hearts during this very difficult time.” See the Statement.
