MOCO Police Citizens Academy
Want to understand how to keep yourself and your family safe during these uncertain times? Want to learn how MCPD and city police departments work together? Find out during the next free 15-week Citizen Academy class on Tuesday nights from 7 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. from April 30th - August 6th offered by the Montgomery County Police Department at the MCPD training facility at 8751 Snouffer School Road in Gaithersburg (zip 20879).
Participants must be 18 years or older and either reside or work in Montgomery County. Applicants are subject to a background check.
You will get to meet and hear from Chief Marcus Jones and officers explain their area of expertise, from crime law, domestic violence, homicide, fraud, DUI, gangs and drugs, SWAT negotiations, police involvement in MCPS schools, as well as what to do in an active shooter situation and more.
You’ll learn how routine traffic stops (for brake lights out, impaired driving, etc.) protect the community through the capture of illegal guns and drugs. You’ll get to practice using a LIDAR (speed device) from 100 yards and see a K-9 demo. Separate opportunities to become certified in CPR and AED and ride along with an officer are available.
(Classes are offered in Spanish on Wednesdays from 7 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. To apply for the class in Spanish, go to https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/pol/jobs/hispanic-community-academy.html.)

Leisure World Republicans
The Leisure World Republican Club is meeting at 1:30 PM in Club House I, Chesapeake Room, April 17th. We have invited all the other US Senate candidates and Lorie R. Friend and John A. Myrick have responded. Also a Republican Trivia challenge. We encourage members to volunteer to work at the polls.
MID MOCO MUSTER
Surely with divine guidance, our Founding Fathers created this grand experiment in representative self-government. But they had no illusions about how profoundly difficult it would be to maintain.
Threats and intimidations, the hallmark of totalitarian regimes throughout history are in evidence today at all levels of our government and society.
We will catalogue some of these instances and discuss ways of fending off the tyranny. As part of that discussion we will of course talk about specific election year tasks at hand.
As usual, we hope you can arrive in the 6 O’clock hour and order some food and/or drink. We will begin the formal presentations at 7pm.
Please join us on third Thursday evening, April 18th, from 6-9pm, in the private side room at: La Mexicana, 16143 Shady Grove Rd, Gaithersburg, MD 20877

REPUBLICAN HELP WANTED
When you walk down the sidewalk in Montgomery County every sixth person you pass is a Republican. Now imagine, with the elections forthcoming we have hundreds of polling places, days and days of early voting, and big rooms filled for weeks with dedicated citizens counting, sorting and even copying mail in ballots. In every case the Board of Elections tries to pair a Republican with a Democrat. If we don't step up and volunteer they will team up a Democrat with an Unaffiliated voter.
To make sure EVERYONE feels the process is fair, valid and legal we need folks from ALL parties to step up to the plate.
If you're a registered Republican who can serve - even half a day - please send an email to our Party Secretary, Lori Jaffe at [email protected] with your contact information.
We'll pass it on to the Board of Elections with the thanks of a grateful Party and community.
