Commissioners agreed to change the commission's stated goal language to emphasize both data-driven and community-centered solutions. \"To help the county council identify data-driven and community-centered solutions,\" the revised goal reads after live edits the commission made while viewing the draft on screen.

The commission reviewed each strategy in the plan. Members agreed that several items (strategies 1, 4, 6 and 10) represent ongoing work and do not require separate subcommittees now. The group debated whether to keep a standalone item on benchmarking MCPD against comparable jurisdictions (previous strategy number 7). Commissioners concluded the benchmarking item should be subsumed under strategy 1 (proactive data collection and comparative analysis) rather than remain a separate line item. The chair polled members by raised hands; the motion to subsume strategy 7 into strategy 1 carried by majority vote.

Commissioners also discussed strategy 3, which encourages MCPD to undertake planning that includes goals, objectives and outcomes. The commission revised the language to reflect the commission's role as an evaluator and adviser: the commission will \"assess MCPD planning processes on specific goals, objectives and outcomes, and provide feedback as appropriate.\"

The commission approved the final draft of the annual report/work plan, with the edits discussed during the meeting, and instructed staff to attach two letters previously sent to the county council and the revised work plan to the annual report for publication.

During the discussion members emphasized the commission's advisory role and repeated that the body cannot force departmental changes but can provide assessments and advice to the County Council and to MCPD. Commissioners said any requests for nonpublic data would be pursued through appropriate channels and that the new data subcommittee will be positioned to identify datasets and reporting formats that would better serve community needs.

Votes recorded at the meeting included approval to publish the annual report with the discussed edits and the decision to subsume the benchmarking item into strategy 1. The commission recorded no formal budget or statute changes in the vote; the actions modify the commission's advisory language and work-plan organization only.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Advisory Commission on Policing - June 9, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Montgomery County Advisory Commission on Policing approved a near-final annual report and work plan with edits adding \"data-driven and community-centered\" language, folded a benchmarking item into a broader strategy, and revised phrasing on planned MCPD planning review.","taxTitle","Montgomery County, Maryland","taxId",3351,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6204536,"Montgomery County policing commission endorses compliance subcommittee, forms data and school-safety working groups",1386,91000,1477000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3778771-1c77b546a78788c48ccad46315a9e0ad&start=91&end=1477","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3778771-1c77b546a78788c48ccad46315a9e0ad/thumbnail_91000.jpg","/articles/6204536/Montgomery-County/Maryland/Montgomery-County-policing-commission-endorses-compliance-subcommittee-forms-data-and-school-safety-working-groups","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6204536-b8df0e5aed238543653fd4725fe4ca89/orig.mp4?Expires=1771155438&Signature=GqkAUhTVRczhEss-ktUcnVcrFAMEd3mwwxPM6MC98boV35G~LCyHPbjlkxfFbRMitqHuOB-sINIzEVm3~uLqyhwdU9aqGcyDqHFrwQ54gCyJSG7nJZSORj6OT4EbUxSrZGAr-~8sdjX5a9npKuz3wm5HMvv23IIojQ7c8fk6GSzWuwyzSXuueut9JCWVD5GgYSfu-H9piTfRcWFEh8mOV3gqGgwEHzePxCm4buTXQW9A8saJYsmBreIYJ7b~ChVy-pwb4CjIylWxUOZLMai0Ngxqbcuzlp96IBcH0qxZMpKprFwWEmQIVJ4w1v-IccwdOylGhya7JgpClZv9gMLNCg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Montgomery County Advisory Commission on Policing on Monday endorsed the continuing work of its compliance subcommittee and voted to form two new subcommittees to follow up on data-management and school-safety issues.

The compliance subcommittee reported it has met three times to review the 87 recommendations from the Reimagining Public Safety Taskforce and to develop follow-up questions for county agencies about implementation. \"Over the past few weeks, the subcommittee' has met 3 times to review the recommendations put in the Reimagining Public Safety Taskforce report,\" a compliance subcommittee member said, describing a draft set of questions the group will share for feedback and noting the subcommittee plans a similar review of the Effective Law Enforcement for All report.

The commission voted to \"endorse the work of the subcommittee\" and continue briefings to the full commission. The motion was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote. The compliance subcommittee also proposed forming two focused follow-up teams: one on the management, acquisition, use and transparency of Montgomery County Police Department (MCPD) data, and a second on school safety.

Commissioners and volunteers named to the new data subcommittee include Sonny (point person), Francisco, Arthur Blair, Henry, Sean Watson and Sierra (volunteer list from the meeting chat). The commission also established a school-safety subcommittee and asked Dr. Teresa Walsh (who asked to be called \"Terry\") to serve as point person; Sean Watson and others volunteered to assist.

Commissioners emphasized the two subcommittees can include participants who were not on the compliance subcommittee. \"Tracking schools and data throughout the course of the year, regardless of whether they were on the compliance subcommittee,\" a commission member said when discussing membership and scope.

Commissioners discussed the limits of the commission's authority to obtain nonpublic records from MCPD and suggested a practical approach: request a system-of-records synopsis from the department or work with MCPD as it develops a new database-management system to identify datasets the community needs. \"What is the data that addresses the issues of the community? And how should it be presented?\" Francisco asked during the discussion.

The commission directed the new data subcommittee to begin organizing by email; Sonny agreed to contact members to set the first meetings. The school-safety subcommittee likewise will begin organizing by email under Terry's coordination.

The endorsements and committee formations were procedural actions taken during the meeting; no county legislation or new department directives were adopted at the session. The commission said the subcommittees will return updates and any requests for further action to the full commission.

Votes at the meeting on this subject included the formal endorsement of the compliance subcommittee's continuing work and the creation of the two subcommittees; those motions passed on voice votes or by assent during the meeting.","The Advisory Commission on Policing endorsed its compliance subcommittee's work on implementation follow-up for the Reimagining Public Safety Taskforce and voted to form two new subcommittees focused on police data management and school safety, assigning volunteer leads and members.","actionData","errors"]
