The Montgomery County Department of Police is set to recognize its officers and personnel with various high honors in an award ceremony scheduled for November 12. The event, confirmed by Montgomery County Police Department official media advisory, will take place at the department headquarters at 100 Edison Park Drive in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
At 1 p.m. local time, the department will present a series of accolades, which include the Lifesaving Award, Commendation, Medal of Valor, and Guardian awards to many deserving recipients. These honors are to celebrate acts that go above and beyond the call of duty.
Chief of Police Marc R. Yamada will be presiding over the ceremony. While the celebration primarily aims to publicly acknowledge the courage and commitment of Montgomery County's finest, the department also invites community members and media representatives to attend. However, it's important to note that strict adherence to the guidelines provided for the safety and privacy of particular personnel will be expected.
As a reminder, the advisory highlights that photography or recording of some awardees is prohibited. The directive aims to protect the individuals who, for reasons not disclosed, prefer to avoid the spotlight on their achievements. The Montgomery County Department of Police has made it clear that cooperation and understanding from all guests will be essential to honor these requests.
