The Montgomery County Police Department will hold a Public Safety Day event on Sunday, May 19, 2024, from 11am-6pm at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds (501 Perry Parkway) in Gaithersburg.

In 2022, Montgomery County Department of Police (MCPD) celebrated the 100th anniversary of the department.  As part of the celebration, the department hosted a community day event featuring Police and Fire Displays, Food Truck Alley, Rides, Music, Face Painting, Magician, Inflatables, Public Safety K9 Displays, Live Demos, Community Performance Stage, MCP Motorcycle Skills Course, Community Resources and so much more!  The event was a great success and had an estimated attendance of 35,000 people, so it was recreated with a slight twist as Public Safety Day.

Every year since then, MCPD has partnered with Maryland State Police, Rockville City Police, Gaithersburg City Police, Chevy Chase Police, Takoma Park Police, Montgomery County Park Police, Sheriff’s Department and Fire and Rescues Services to celebrate Public Safety Day. The event features:

  • Police and Fire Displays

  • Magician

  • Inflatables

  • Public Safety K9 Displays

  • Live Demos
