I am extremely proud of the partnership that our Montgomery County PoliceDepartment has developed with our community members. Police service continuesto evolve, with advances in technology, improved training and better equipment. Butat its core, a police department is only as good as its people and the response theygive and the trust that they build with the community they serve.
We are gratified that crime in general has decreased in our County over the pastseveral years, though be assured that we’ll continue to identify emerging crimetrends in our neighborhoods and target appropriate resources towards them.
On behalf of all the men and woman who have accepted the challenge of keeping ourCounty safe - Thank you to the residents of Montgomery County for your support.
-Chief Tom Manger

SILVER SPRINGThe origin of the name“Silver Spring” comes
from a spring discovered by Francis Preston Blair, aneditor of the formerWashingtonGlobe newspaper.
He and his daughter, Elizabeth, were horse-back riding through awooded area near what nowis Georgia AvenuewhenBlair was thrown off hishorse.When he found the horse, its reins werecaught on a bush near a stream that Blair thought
looked silver.Blair liked the area somuch that in 1842, he
bought 1,000 acres surrounding the stream andbuilt amansion on it, calling it “Silver Spring.”
Silver Spring’s redeveloped downtown areais gaining attention from around theMetro area,anchored by theworld headquarters of DiscoveryCommunications, RoundHouseTheatre and the
American Film Institute’s SilverTheatre andCulturalCenter.

TAKOMA PARKIn the late 19th century, real estate developer
Benjamin Franklin Gilbert wanted an alternative tothe malaria-polluted air and dirty water ofWashing-ton, D.C.
He looked north, purchasing 100 acres strad-dling the Maryland-Washington, D.C., border.Marketing what he called the “Sylvan Suburb,”Gilbert named his 1883 purchase Takoma, anIndian name meaning “high up, near heaven,”
later adding Park to emphasize the bucolic atmo-sphere.
Takoma Park incorporated in 1890, and not longafter, the Seventh-day Adventist Church moved itsworld headquarters to the town.
In the coming decades, Adventist missionar-ies spread Takoma Park’s name around the world.The cultural upheaval of the 1960s brought anotherflood of residents, as groups of artists and musicians
settled there. Once again,Takoma Park’s name spread, this time for pro-
gressive social policies and a mayor who lay in frontof a bulldozer to stop an interstate highway.
Today, Takoma Park is a diverse “Main StreetMaryland” community of16,715 people. In 2003,Utne magazine cited the city as “probably the lefti-est ‘burb anywhere,” a badge of honor for many cityresidents.
