MCPD Autism and IDD, Alzheimer’s and Dementia Outreach Unit 20th Anniversary
Councilmembers Dawn Luedtke, Sidney Katz, Kristin Mink, Gabe Albornoz and Will Jawando, as well as Chief Administrative Officer Richard Madaleno, on behalf of County Executive Marc Elrich, present a proclamation honoring the Montgomery County Police Department’s (MCPD) Autism and Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), Alzheimer’s and Dementia Outreach Unit.
The MCPD Autism/IDD, Alzheimer’s and Dementia Outreach Unit was developed in 2004 in response to the growing number of calls for service involving missing residents with autism/IDD, Alzheimer's, and dementia who wandered or eloped. Over the last 20 years, the Unit has protected countless Montgomery County residents, educated families and communities, and empowered the community it serves.
