The Montgomery County Police Department on Monday sought additional funds to create two or more Police Community Action Teams, which will help district patrols handle crime more efficiently.

“If I ruled the world, I would add 60 more patrol officers in our budget, and at least two PCAT teams in district stations,” Chief Thomas Manger told the County Council. “My hope is you’ll see that in the next years, we need to increase staffing to solve our problems.”
