Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett and other top officials will celebrate more than two dozen police and firefighters on Thursday at a gala banquet in honor of those who protect and serve. Seventeen officers and 14 firefighters, along with a police dog, will be feted at the North Bethesda Marriott Hotel and Conference Center. Awardees have not been announced, but Leggett will hand out the Gold Medal of Valor, the county’s top honor for a public safety official.
