Talk:Montgomery County Police Department

Details
Can anyone add details regarding the size of the county police force -- number of officers, budget, etc? Thanks. 207.172.90.28 (talk) 14:07, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It has been done. Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 20:55, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

2012 ballot question
What are the arguments for and against &#8220;question B&#8221; (elimination of &#8220;effects bargaining&#8221;) on the 2012 ballot? 71.163.176.15 (talk) 15:21, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Rank Table
Does anybody have enough verifiable information that would allow us to expand the table for the ranks? Thanks. L.J. Tibbs (talk) 18:59, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Assessment
I have assessed the article as class C for wikiproject law enforcement. The article is close to a B class and I would be happy to reassess it if these concerns are addressed:
 * The lead should be expanded.
 * The 2004-present: Manger and a new headquarters>Controversy section should probably be folded in the previous section (2014: Interstate 270 closure) per WP:CSECTION. Also, there are some style and grammar issues in that section (e.g. "...with reports of...", "... without any explanation why").
 * Some content is has WP:CITEOVERKILL.
 * The quote parameter in the citation templates is overused. It should really be limited to passages where quotes serve to verify potentially disputed information.
 * The 2014: School bomb threats section may be a little off-topic. Is the content really about the police department?
 * Are the rank insignia significantly different from other police departments? If not, I would consider omitting them.
 * The last three images on the left on the History section don't add much to the article, in my opinion. Images should add to a readers understaning of the subject.
 * The 'In popular culture' section is a list. Ideally this should be prose. WP:POPCULTURE may be helpful.
 * The Facebook external link should be omitted per WP:ELNO
 * I would consider omitting the external links to the archived versions of the departments website, unless they contain something of unique encyclopedic value.
