## Resource

After nearly four decades of service, Montgomery County’s longest-serving police chief, Marc Yamada, has abruptly resigned amid an investigation into alleged misuse of county funds. County Executive Marc Elrich praised Yamada’s legacy while confirming his departure, and Assistant Chief Darren Francke has stepped in as interim chief. The swift exit signals a major leadership transition as the department begins searching for a permanent replacement, marking the end of an era and the start of a new chapter for the Montgomery County Police Department.
