The Takoma Park Police Department (TPPD) is the primary law enforcement agency servicing a population of approximately 17,670 (2014 est.), within 2.5 square miles (6.5 km2) of the municipality of Takoma Park, Maryland. Until July 1, 1997, the TPPD was aided by both the Prince George's County Police and the Montgomery County Police as the city was divided within the two counties. After that date, the municipality was moved to become contained entirely within Montgomery County by a move of the Maryland General Assembly.[1]

Organization

The current Chief of Police is Alan Goldberg. The TPPD is a full-service[2] agency consisting of 42 sworn officers (not including the chief), 8 dispatchers, and a support staff of 17 civilians.[3] The TPPD is divided into three divisions:[4]
