Operation DOMINO Is Working

Montgomery Police Department Interim Chief John Brown told the crowd at the announcement of Operation DOMINO last week that he wanted citizens to be able to sleep at night in the Capitol of Dreams without fearing for their safety.

Montgomery residents should be able to sleep better tonight because that operation is already making a difference.

MPD's Operation DOMINO is realizing results in its first seven days, with 104 felony arrests, 384 misdemeanor arrests and 24 illegal firearms seized. MPD began the multi-pronged initiative July 24 to help curb crime and increase safety throughout the city. The chart above totals each day’s activities.

MPD is achieving its goal of making Montgomery a safer city by using a combination of good data and excellent police work. Expect even more great results in the weeks to come.

The Montgomery Police Department will host a graduation ceremony for the 21 members of the 2014 Citizens’ Police Academy on Tuesday night. The class has successfully completed a 10-week curriculum designed to provide local residents with a working knowledge of the MPD. .

The academy’s 30 hours of instruction are provided by MPD staff and cover all aspects of police mission and operations. This is the eighth academy class since the Citizens’ Police Academy was founded in 2006
