August 31, 2026
The Rockville City Police Department is inviting the community to its 2026 open house, a free, family-friendly event offering residents a behind-the-scenes look at their local police department.
The open house is scheduled for 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19, at the RCPD station at 2 W. Montgomery Ave. In the event of inclement weather, the open house will be rescheduled for the same time on Saturday, Oct. 3.
Parking will be available in nearby city garages, with free parking two blocks away at City Hall, 111 Maryland Ave. Staff will be on-site to direct visitors. No registration is necessary.
Visitors will have the opportunity to tour the police station, explore marked police vehicles and enjoy interactive displays showcasing the many tools and resources officers use in their daily duties.
Highlights include:
- K-9 team demonstrations.
- A display of RCPD motorcycles and a chance to meet the officers who ride them.
- A community services booth with free giveaways and information about community programs.
- A hands-on station featuring some of the equipment officers use to keep Rockville safe.
- Photo opportunities with officers and police vehicles.
“Most people meet us on what may be one of the hardest days of their lives,” Chief Jason West said. “An open house lets residents come to us on a different kind of day, ask questions, see how we work and get to know the officers serving their neighborhoods. The more residents understand about this department, the better we are able to serve them.”
