Montgomery County Police need to Publicly Post their Policies on their Website.

The Montgomery County Police have a new policy that recognizes your right to video record police-public interactions. They should be commended for finally doing this. But they have not seen fit to inform the public of their new policy. So I've posted it below, see my March 11th, 2013 posting. There is clear public interest in policies that involve police interactions with the public, particularly for things like the new use of force policy, now in limbo somewhere. All police policies that deal with interactions with the public should be posted on the police website. There is also a need for reports on the outcomes of complaints to the police. To the extent permitted by law, and until such time as the county establishes a citizen review board, there should be, at the bare minimum, an annual public report on the overall statistics of the types of complaints and the outcomes.
