Montgomery County Police Chief Thomas Manger said Thursday that his department is conducting a wide-ranging investigation into potential wrongdoing by more than 100 police officers who may have used county tax dollars to buy guns at steep discounts while on duty.

Manger said he has directed his internal affairs department to investigate whether his officers knew they were improperly buying taxpayer-subsidized handguns and rifles, as well as possible time sheet violations.
