MyMCM in the Community: What is the Appropriate Role of Police in Montgomery County Public Schools?

“What is the Appropriate Role of Police in MCPS”

The organization Community Partners for Public Safety (CPPS) held a forum on July 13, 2022 that examined the role of police in Montgomery County Public Schools.

The forum was moderated by Michael Durso, former MCPS Board of Education President. Panelists included Lee Evans, Magruder High School Principal; Joe Lowery, retired School Resource Officer; Marvin Dickerson, security expert and MCPS parent; and Afsara, recent MCPS graduate.

This is the third forum the group has held in recent months. Plans are underway for a fourth forum in the fall.

CPPS is comprised of former MCPS principals, former members of the Board of Education, parents of current and former students, members of the Montgomery County Council of PTAs (MCCPTA), former School Resource Officer Joe Lowery, and safety expert Marvin Dickerson.
