Inspector General Finds MCPD Executive Misconduct, Absent Without Leave

The Montgomery County Office of the Inspector General released a Sept. 18, 2026 Memorandum of Investigation finding that an unnamed MCPD executive violated County Code and department policy by being absent from duty on at least five days without taking leave and by being untruthful with investigators about their role in selecting a county-employed relative to attend an out-of-state conference. The report also identifies broader weaknesses in time-and-attendance practices, supervisory review, and internal controls, and issues five recommendations for improvement. Councilmember Will Jawando issued a statement saying he intends to review the recommendations and work to strengthen safeguards.
