Welcome to the Gaithersburg Police Department webpage. It is an honor to serve as Chief of Police for this outstanding agency - a department where I have dedicated my career.

Our success has always been driven by the unwavering commitment of our officers and professional staff and strengthened by the trust and partnership of our City leaders and the community we proudly serve. Together, we have built a culture reflective of our core values of service, integrity, and respect.

As Chief, my vision is to continue that legacy by fostering collaboration, embracing disciplined policing, and ensuring that every member of our community feels safe and treated with dignity. We will remain focused on community engagement, ownership, and delivering the highest standard of service to those we are entrusted to protect.

Thank you for visiting our site and for your continued support of the Gaithersburg Police Department. I encourage you to explore our resources, learn more about our programs, and connect with us as we work together to keep Gaithersburg safe and strong.
