More than seven local police departments in the Washington, D.C. area, including Montgomery, have confirmed to the Daily Caller that they will not assist the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) with security for Donald Trump's 2025 presidential inauguration. This decision stems from issues related to the current memorandum of understanding, as reported by one department. Despite MPD's claim that thousands of officers will assist with security, several departments have explicitly stated their refusal to participate.
