Rockville City Police Honored

The Rockville City Police Department was recognized as one of 14 law enforcement agencies honored in 2011 for overall community crime prevention programming by the Governor’s Crime Prevention Institute. This is the 10th time Rockville Police have earned the award.

"We’re very proud to receive this recognition," said Rockville Police Chief T.N. Treschuk. "Rockville Police officers are committed to ensuring the safety of all of Rockville’s residents, workers and visitors. The success of any crime prevention programming depends upon the partnerships the police forge with the community."

Each year, the Maryland Community Crime Prevention Institute, along with the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services, the Maryland Police and Correctional Training Commissions, and the Maryland Crime Prevention Association present the Annual Governor’s Crime Prevention Awards.

The Rockville City Police Department earned the distinction for its work to provide community programs on personal security, residential security and commercial security.
