The Sergeant Patrick Kepp Act, named after a Montgomery County police officer who lost both of his legs in the line of duty, takes effect today, Oct. 1, 2025. The law strengthens penalties for reckless, negligent and aggressive driving. https://t.co/io7c0iygwQ #MCPD #MCPNews

🚨The Sgt. Patrick Kepp Act goes into effect today- Speeding more than 30 mph over the limit is now reckless driving and can lead to jail time in Maryland.

True or False: More deer are present at “deer crossing” signs. If you see a deer crossing sign, there's a reason. Signs are installed in areas w/high deer populations & history of deer collisions. @mcfrs Tip: DON'T VEER FOR DEER. Remain calm, apply brakes firmly & don’t swerve

Seeing more deer in your area? @mcfrs Montgomery County Fire & Rescue warns drivers to stay alert, especially at dawn/dusk. Peak deer collision season runs thru October thru December. Don’t swerve if you spot a deer in your path, brake firmly and stay calm!

TODAY (10/1) new MD laws are in effect for curbing super speeders: ⚖️ New graduated fines for getting caught by a speed camera, up to $425 for going 40+ over the speed limit ⚖️ Drivers caught by a police officer going 30+ over the speed limit can be charged with reckless driving.

Safe speeds save lives! Starting tomorrow (10/1) enhanced penalties for excessive speeding.

Every person walking, biking, or driving deserves to get home safely. @MontgomeryCoMD, @MCDOTNow, @mcpnews & @MDSHA partner to manage speeds because the faster you go, the deadlier the outcome. Slow down, save lives.

I spent two years working with the amazing Detectives in our CRU. Hit and run cases are one of the hardest investigations in all of policing. It takes an unbelievable amount of tenacity, effort and usually a little bit of luck. Kudos to them for solving this tragic case.
