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 “question B” (elimination of “effects bargaining”) 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#Social
• I would consider omitting the external links to the archived versions of the departments website, unless they contain something of unique encyclopedic value.
