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.
