Montgomery Police Special Operations division honored for MAX partnership; department cites arrests and seizures
Summary
Mayor Reed and police leadership presented a unit citation to the Montgomery Police Department Special Operations Division for participating in the Montgomery Area Criminal Suppression Team (MAX); police leaders read year-to-date statistics including felony arrests, drug seizures and recovered firearms.
Mayor Steven Reed and Police leadership presented a unit citation to the Montgomery Police Department’s Special Operations Division for its role in the Montgomery Area Criminal Suppression Team (MAX).
Chief (title provided in transcript) described a year of cooperative enforcement that included participation by 18 Special Operations officers and collaboration with federal and regional partners, including ATF and the DEA. The mayor read a letter summarizing outcomes and cited numbers presented at the meeting: “437 felony warrant arrests, the seizure of over 54,000 grams of illegal drugs, and the recovery of 117 firearms,” and said those results reflected the division’s work with MAX.
A more detailed summary read by a police official listed additional totals that the department said covered both regular Special Operations duties and MAX participation over the prior 12 months: “over 188 subjects arrested, over 844 felony arrest warrants, over 290 misdemeanor arrest warrants” and assistance to more than 138 other agencies. City leaders publicly named members of the Special Operations Division and invited those present to the stage for recognition and photographs.
The presentation was ceremonial; no council action or vote followed. The council and the mayor thanked officers and their families for service and encouraged continued coordination between the police and federal partners.
