Statement from Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich on Police Chief Candidate Withdrawal
For Immediate Release: Tuesday 27 August
I have received a letter from Tonya Chapman stating that she has withdrawn her name from consideration to be Montgomery County’s next chief of police. She brought a wealth of experience and knowledge that would have been good for the County. I wish her the best in her future endeavors.
Public safety remains a top priority for me and my administration; and I will move expeditiously, and carefully, to identify a new candidate for police chief for our County.
Over the course of the past few months, I have received significant input from the community, and I am confident I will be able to select a new police chief soon.
