Montgomery County police will be assisting the police departments of the U.S. Capitol and U.S. Park Police instead of helping the Metropolitan Police Department during Monday’s presidential inauguration in Washington, D.C. The decision follows the two departments’ inability to agree on a memorandum of understanding about the use of force. [WJLA]
