Summary

Members confirmed the Sept. 14 public forum to solicit feedback on the MCPD strategic plan and urged that the ACP’s input emphasize specific goals, timelines and measurable steps rather than aspirational language; slides and press release logistics were confirmed.

The commission confirmed that its Sept. 14 public forum will replace the regular monthly meeting and that language soliciting public comment on the Montgomery County Police Department strategic plan is posted on the ACP website. Staff (Logan, speaker S7) will circulate a draft press release and confirmed distribution to identified outlets; commissioners asked for leadership titles and ex‑officio composition to be checked on the slides.

Commissioners criticized the strategic plan for lacking specific goals, measurable timelines and realistic constraints. Francisco (speaker S1) said the plan is useful for conveying MCPD thinking but currently reads as aspirational rather than operational. The strategic plan subcommittee will incorporate public feedback from the forum and aims to present a report to the ACP by November so the incoming county council can receive it early in its term.
