About Public Safety Awards
he MCCC Public Safety Awards luncheon is an outgrowth of
Montgomery County Executive James P. Gleason’s Executive Order,
dated April 25, 1974, establishing the official awards program in
cooperation with the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce.
This program originally provided official recognition to Montgomery County
Police Officers and Firefighter/Rescuers and Emergency Medical personnel
who have performed heroic acts and community service, which go beyond the
call of duty.
In December 2000, the Public Safety Awards Committee welcomed the
Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and the Maryland-National Capital Park
Police, Montgomery County Division. In January 2003, they welcomed the
Montgomery County Department of Correction and Rehabilitation as part of
the public safety awards program.
Nominations for the awards come from field supervisors through official
channels to respective department administrations: Administrator, Montgomery
County Fire & Rescue Service; Chief, Montgomery County
Department of Police; Sheriff, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office; Chief,
Maryland-National Capital Park Police, Montgomery County Division; and
Director, Montgomery County Department of Correction and Rehabilitation.
The department leaders then present the nominations to the Public Safety
Awards Selection Committee for final determination.

SERVICE BEFORE SELF
Montgomery County
Public Safety Memorial
A Tribute to Montgomery County’s Fallen Officers
Every day courageous public safety personnel dedicate their lives
in protecting the people and property of Montgomery County.
Unfortunately, each year members of our public safety community
are seriously injured and die in the line of duty.
The Montgomery County Public Safety Memorial – the first memorial of its kind
in the County – recognizes the courage and sacrifice of our fallen public safety
personnel. It also provides visitors to the memorial an opportunity to learn
about the manner in which each of the Montgomery County Public Safety
Departments work together. The Memorial honors all of the Montgomery
County public safety agencies including Correction and Rehabilitation, Police, Fire
& Rescue Service, Park Police, and the Sheriff’s Office. The effort to create this
memorial began in 1995 with a dedicated joint public-private partnership. Visit the Public Safety Memorial adjacent to the lake at the following address:
Public Safety Headquarters | 100 Edison Park Drive | Gaithersburg, MD 20878 14 Police Officer Noah Leotta
1991 - 2015
The Public Safety Memorial in Gaithersburg recognizes the courage and sacrifice of
our fallen Public Safety Personnel. The names engraved on the memorial remind us
of the supreme sacrifice each officer has made for us. Today, we remember 24-yearold fallen officer Noah Leotta.
Police Officer Leotta succumbed to injuries sustained on December 3, 2015 when he
was struck by a drunk driver near the intersection of Rockville Pike and Edmonston
Drive. He was conducting a traffic stop on Rockville Pike at approximately 9:45 pm
while working a special assignment on the agency’s Holiday Alcohol Task Force. He
had contacted the driver and was getting back into his patrol car when a second
vehicle struck his patrol car and then struck him. Officer Leotta was transported
to Suburban Hospital where he remained on life support until passing away on
December 10. The driver of the vehicle that struck him was held on suspicion of
drunk driving. He has subsequently been charged with manslaughter by automobile
and additional charges.
Officer Leotta served with the Montgomery County Police Department for almost
three years. He is survived by his parents and sister.
A bill has been introduced in the Maryland General Assembly notably referred to as
Noah’s Law. This bill expands on existing Maryland law that requires first-time and
repeat offenders to use an ignition interlock devise to avoid having their licenses
suspended. An ignition interlock devise prevents a driver from starting the vehicle
if a breathalyzer result registers a higher blood-alcohol level than allowed. The
current Blood Alcohol (BAC) Level is .15, the proposed legislation lowers the BAC to
.08. We urge you to contact your elected officials to support Noah’s Law as it makes
its way through the legislative process and ultimately to the Governor’s desk for
signature. Visit mcccmd.com/advocacy for more information.

Public Safety Government
Partner of the Year
National Institute of Standards
and Technology (NIST)
F
or over a decade, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
has been a steadfast federal public safety partner as an advocate for the
research and training of the fire and rescue service and law enforcement
communities.
Montgomery County’s Department of Police and the Sheriffs’ Office have utilized
the NIST campus for the purposes of conducting canine training: basic patrol,
explosives searches, tracking, agility skills, maintenance training, and routine
certifications.
For the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service and beyond, NIST has driven
revolutionary changes in standards applicable to structural firefighting gear and
electronic safety equipment.
The unwavering and unconditional support of NIST in supporting public safety
initiatives at a local, regional, and national level is unparalleled.
It is for these and numerous other reasons that the Montgomery County Chamber
of Commerce is honored to present the Public Safety Government Partner of the
Year Award to the National Institute of Standards of Technology.

Lee Development Group
E
ver since the suicide bomber and hostage situation at the Discovery
Communications headquarters in Silver Spring on September 2010, the
Montgomery County Department of Police has been working in close
cooperation with the Lee Development Group.
The Lee Development Group has generously given the police free access to their
building located in Aspen Hill for simulated emergency training for SWAT, K9 and
patrol units. In fact, almost every law enforcement agency in the area at the federal,
state, and local levels with a SWAT team has used the location for this purpose over
the last few years.
Montgomery County Department of Fire and Rescue Services and the Montgomery
County Sheriff’s Office have also been able to use the building as a training site.
By allowing public safety agencies to use their building free of cost, the Lee
Development Group has provided a realistic setting to train and practice life saving
techniques and allowed our first responders to become better equipped to respond
to emerging threats.

Car Fire on the
Beltway
O
n September 1, 2015
at midnight, a call was
dispatched for a personal
injury car collision on I-495
between Georgia and Connecticut
Avenue. As officers responded, the
dispatcher provided updates that
smoke was coming from the two-door
vehicle with a passenger inside.
Police Officer 1 Cody Fields arrived
within three minutes and observed
the driver’s side of the car crashed
against the Jersey barrier on the
left shoulder of the Beltway. The
engine was on fire and the passenger
compartment was filling with smoke.
Officer Fields rushed to the passenger
side where he observed the driver
alone and unconscious. Officer Fields
used his protective instrument and
broke the window. Immediately, a
large amount of smoke exited the
passenger compartment. Police
Officer 3 Brian Nesbitt arrived as
Officer Fields opened the passenger
door. Both officers realized it was
going to be difficult to pull the 5’8”
160 lbs. unconscious man from his
small car. Without hesitation and
in complete disregard for their own
safety, Officer Nesbitt climbed into

the passenger side and grabbed
the driver. Working together, both
officers were able to extract the

Capital Beltway was rescued. This
merits recognition of the highest
medal of valor. The Montgomery
County Chamber of Commerce is
highly honored to present the Gold
Medal of Valor to Police Officer 1
Cody Fields and Police Officer 3
Brian Nesbitt.
The fire spread from the engine
to the passenger compartment.
The officers recognized the danger
presented by the fire. They carried
the driver to the safety of the
shoulder of the Beltway.
Immediately, Officer Nesbitt
and Fields began medically
assessing the driver who was
still unconscious but breathing.
Officer Nesbitt began administering
sternum rubs which seemed to
have little effect. Leaning down
to put his ear to the mouth of the
driver, Officer Nesbitt finally heard
a short gasp of air. Fire and Rescue
arrived and took over care of the
driver.
This was a highly dangerous and
potentially explosive situation.

Murder/Suicide at
Germantown Gas Station
n August 4, 2015 at 12:30
in the afternoon, Police
Officer 2 Andrew Bock was
off-duty, in plain clothes,
operating his marked Montgomery
County Police vehicle. Officer Bock had
just exited the Germantown Auto Spa
when he heard what he believed was a
gunshot. Seconds later, he observed a
female running towards him hysterically
screaming. He noticed she ran from
a black SUV that was parked at a
pump in the adjacent gas station. The
station is located at major intersection
and had multiple patrons inside the
store and at the gas pumps. Officer
Bock using sound tactics of cover and
concealment, and without the aid
of his ballistic vest or portable radio,
advanced on the SUV using a van for
protection. He noticed one occupant
inside the SUV, immediately identified
himself as a Montgomery County Police
Officer and ordered the subject out
of vehicle. The male exited the SUV
armed with a handgun and was startled
by the Officer’s presence. The subject
turned away then abruptly turned back
towards Officer Bock. The man raised
the gun to his own head and fired.
Officer Bock cautiously approached
the suspect and the SUV where he
observed a female in the driver’s seat
who was deceased.
A citizen approached and did not heed
the order of Officer Bock to stay back.
He told the citizen to dial 9-1-1 and
then took the phone away to speak
with the Emergency Communications
22
Center. Officer Bock remained calm
as he provided information. He
requested Fire Rescue units to respond
even though both subjects appeared
deceased. He requested multiple units
since there were many witnesses on the
scene.
Police Officer 2 Andrew Bock
Silver
It was later learned that while the
daughter was in the store, the couple
argued and he shot his wife. The
daughter was the one who frantically
approached Officer Bock for help. The
suspect was a convicted felon who
chose to end his life rather than be
charged with murder.
For acting quickly and cautiously in a
life-threatening situation, in an active,
public place with a clear and present
danger, the Montgomery County
Chamber of Commerce is honored to
present the Silver Medal of Valor to
Police Officer 2 Andrew Bock.

Car Crushed by Tree
In Takoma Park
O
n a Sunday afternoon
on September 13, 2015
at approximately 1:00,
Lieutenant Shibu Philipose
was off-duty on his way home from
church in Takoma Park with his three
children. They were approaching Sligo
Creek Parkway Overpass on Carroll
Avenue when they noticed several
cars making U-turns.
As Lieutenant Philipose moved closer,
he saw that a tree had fallen on top
of an SUV and severely crushed the
car roof above the driver and front
passenger seats. He turned on his
emergency lights as he approached
the scene, noticing a person waving
for him to come forward. He called
out on his radio, left his children in the
car, and ran to the SUV. The person
said that there was a man trapped
inside.
Lieutenant Philipose was surprised
to see that the driver was alive and
was trying unsuccessfully to open his
door. Lieutenant Philipose was able
to pull open the rear door and speak
to the man who was uninjured. The
Lieutenant assured the man that he
would stay with him until Fire and
Rescue arrived. As they spoke, they
heard several loud clunks on the roof.
Also, live electrical wires had come
down igniting a fire in the woods
adjacent to the SUV. Assessing the
dangers of a roof collapse and fire,
Lieutenant Shibu Philipose
Silver
Lieutenant Philipose told the driver
they had to get out of the car. Since
the back door was the only way out,
the driver was directed to recline
his seat, tilt up the steering wheel
and push with his legs. Lieutenant
Philipose was able to pull the driver
from the backseat door. The man was
transported by ambulance with nonthreatening injuries.
Lt. Philipose then went to check on an
occupant of a second vehicle that was
slightly damaged by the tree. That
occupant was fine but shaken.
For taking action to save a person
from a very perilous situation at great
personal risk, off-duty, and beyond
the call of duty, the Montgomery
honored to present the Silver Medal
of Valor to Lieutenant Shibu Philipose.

Safeway Suicide Response
O
n February 1, 2015 at
6:30 at night, police
officers were dispatched in
response to a report of a
woman stabbing herself in a Safeway
in Silver Spring. Within minutes,
Police Officer 3 Nathan Kane arrived
on the scene. Originally waiting
for backup, Officer Kane entered
the store when he learned from
frantic shoppers that the woman was
severely injured. As he approached
the aisle where the woman was
located, he noticed several citizens
standing nearby. Passing through
them, he reached the victim. There
was significant blood on the floor
and around her neck. A knife was
held in her right hand. Officer Kane
ordered her to drop the knife, but
she continued to cut herself. Sensing
that the people around her were in
danger, Officer Kane grabbed her arm
and was able to take the knife away.
The female then dropped to the
ground and Officer Kane immediately
transitioned to providing first aid.
At this point, other officers arrived.
Given the large volume of blood,
Office Kane instructed a fellow officer
to grab paper towels to restrict the
blood flow. Together, the officers
tried to save her life by applying
pressure to her wounds. Despite
their efforts, she succumbed to her
self-inflicted injuries.

For the demonstration of bravery and
quick thinking in a chaotic situation
to save a life and protect others from
danger, the Montgomery County
present the Bronze Medal of Valor to

Once on shore, Master Fire Fighter
Beatty assessed the victim, initiated

Emergency Medical Services arrived
shortly thereafter and patient care was
turned over to them.
Master Fire Fighter Beatty observed
this and having previously noted the
closest Swiftwater Rescue Technicians
(SRT) were not in close proximity,
immediately and without hesitation,
swam out to the two swimmers who
were now in distress.
After reaching the first victim, Master
Fire Fighter Beatty began to calm and
reassure her and assured that she was
transferred to the safety of an arriving
SRT. Diverting his attention back to the
second victim, he noticed a second arriving SRT had begun a rescue attempt
but was being dragged under water by
the victim. Again, without hesitation,
Master Fire Fighter Beatty assisted the
struggling SRT and the second victim.
Master Fire Fighter Beatty was able
to successfully assume control of the
flailing victim and began to tow him
to shore. Another arriving SRT then

Collision on I-495 Split at I-270
O
n February 14, 2015, at
midnight on Valentine’s Day,
units from the Montgomery
County Fire and Rescue
Service were dispatched for a reported
personal injury collision on the split
between I-270 and I-495. It had been
snowing all evening and the roads were
covered in ice and partially frozen.
The four-member crew of Ambulance
711 arrived on the scene of the two
vehicle collision and began to assess
three individuals in one of the vehicles.
While assessments of the patients were
underway, a pick-up truck, attempting
to pass the scene of the collision, lost
control and struck this vehicle. Both
accident vehicles then struck the back
of the ambulance.
Two of the crew members of
Ambulance 711 were thrown by the
force of the impact from the truck. Fire
Fighter Rescuer II Wyatt Smith had
been retrieving additional equipment
from behind the ambulance and was
able to narrowly escape the path of
the careening vehicles. The ambulance
driver, Fire Fighter Rescuer III Meghan
Quinn immediately requested
assistance by radio and began to assess
both victims. Fire Fighter Rescuer II
Smith engaged in patient care of one
of the injured crew members. Fire
Fighter Rescuer III Meghan Quinn then
assessed and treated the other more
seriously injured crew member until
other units arrived on the scene. She
stabilized both crew members and
provided safe transport to an area
hospital.

Suicide Response in Damascus
O
n September 11, 2015
at approximately 9:00 at
night, a call was dispatched
for a suicide in progress
in Damascus. Deputy Sheriff 3
Robert Balser responded that he
was two miles away and enroute to
the incident. Montgomery County
Police responded, too. The 9-1-1
call was received from a wife who
said that after their argument, her
husband threatened to kill himself.
She escorted Deputy Balser to the end
of the hall where her husband had
threatened to hang himself in a room.
Deputy Balser’s calls to him were
unanswered. At this time, off-duty
Montgomery County Police Officer
1 John D. Durham arrived to assist.
They attempted to force the door
open but realized that the man’s body
was bouncing off the other side of it.
Finally able to open the door, the man
hit the floor blocking the entrance.
Deputy Balser and Police Officer
Durham were able to force their way
in. The husband was unresponsive
with a leather belt around his neck,
looped through a buckle. Deputy
Balser was able to find a pulse. Officer
Durham completed the sternum rub,
and the man started to breathe and
awaken. Deputy Balser requested
Montgomery County Fire and Rescue
Services to respond while he kept the
man alert. The man was transported
by Montgomery County Fire and
Rescue to the hospital to recover.
For responding off-duty to call for
help and assisting in the rescue of a
suicidal man, the Montgomery County

Murder in Germantown
O
n the morning of March 11,
2015, a dramatic series of
events began to unfold at a
residence in Germantown.
A young man had suffered a psychotic
episode and viciously murdered the
homeowner. Following the attack, he
menaced a female resident. Fearing
for her life, she attempted to lock him
out of the house. He became enraged
and started to damage property and
thrash at individuals with a shovel.
When the police arrived, the murderer
fled back into the residence. An entry
team consisting of Sergeant Ray Moran,
Corporal Frank Corn and Police Officers
Dawn Wenner, Robert Hunt and
Lawrence Caldwell entered the house.
Sergeant Moran located the suspect
near the bottom of the basement
stairway and immediately called for
backup. Noticing Sergeant Moran, the
man fled to an adjacent room and broke
a window attempting to escape. Outside
the residence, additional officers
established an exterior perimeter to
prevent escape.
The entry team wrestled with the
delusional man bloodied by the
shattered glass. Officer Wenner
deployed her Taser and he was taken
down to be handcuffed. He battled
the officers on the basement floor. At
this time, the perimeter team entered
to assist. Officers Hunt and Russo
administered CPR while other officers
searched for more victims. Finding none,
they rejoined the officers in an attempt
to restrain the man as safely as possible.

Sexual Assault
in Rockville
O
n June 12, 2015 at 11:30 at night, Montgomery County Sheriff
Deputies assigned to the Criminal Section were in their terrace
level office in the Circuit Court Building in downtown Rockville.
On-duty Security Officer Jose Melara was monitoring 300 cameras
aimed in and around the Court building. He contacted the deputies altering
them about something disturbing he noticed on one camera. On the left side
of the Maryland Avenue entrance to the Court, a man appeared to be sexually
assaulting a female. The Deputies were immediately able to find the scene on
their monitors.
Deputies Alan Summers, Douglas Orr, Keith Brubacher, Christopher Moxley,
Nelson Rosales and Donghae Thompson quickly ran out of the building towards
Maryland Avenue. They found a 16-year-old man sexually assaulting a 19-yearold woman. The male attempted to back away but the deputies took him
to the ground and handcuffed him. Rockville City and Montgomery County
Police arrived to assist and process the scene. Understanding that they had
just witnessed a violent sexual assault on a defenseless young lady, deputies
immediately tended to her significant physical injuries and notified Fire Rescue
to have an ambulance respond to the scene. Deputies later learned that the
victim’s mother was waiting for her in front of the movie theatres and were
able to reunite her with her daughter. Tragically, en-route to Shady Grove
Hospital for treatment and a forensic exam, the victim suffered an apparent
heart attack and died.
For their collective response in stopping a violent sexual assault in progress and
for their demonstrated care and professionalism in dealing with a traumatized
victim, the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce is honored to present a
Unit Citation to the following:

Baltimore Riots
I
n April 2015, Baltimore City experienced mass protests and riots that had
not been seen there since the 1960s. Over the course of several days,
more than 200 hundred specially trained members of the Montgomery
County Police, Park Police and the Sheriff’s office responded to a request
for assistance from the Baltimore Police Department. Baltimore Police needed
public safety experts to respond to planned protests surrounding the death
of Freddie Gray, who died in police custody. It was an intense and dangerous
situation as they responded to protect the lives and property in a city in crisis.
Over several days of riots, public safety officials faced angry crowds who
destroyed property and stores, and assaulted officers and citizens. The riots
were shown on TV screens and the internet around the world.
Montgomery County Police played a significant role in restoring order by using
expert and coordinated tactics, intelligence and support. The Montgomery
County Division of the Maryland-National Capital Park Police sent riders and
their horses that provided vital and prominent crowd control. Eleven Deputies
of the Montgomery County Office Sheriff Office who were specially trained in
crowd control tactics were deployed to great effect.
The positive impact of these many Montgomery County Public Safety
responders helped Baltimore restore peace after days of dangerous acts
of anger and violence. The Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce is
honored to present a Unit Citation to the responding officers of the MarylandNational Capital Park Police Montgomery County Division, the Montgomery
County Sheriff’s Office and the Montgomery County Department of Police.

Police Officer 1 Amber Richard
n December, Police Officer 1 Amber Richard met a child in need and made a
positive impact at her own expense, on her own time. In response to a child
abuse call, Officer Richard met a 7-year old boy admitted to the hospital.
She learned that the boy had been brought to the hospital by his father and
step-mother. He had numerous bruises and cuts on his body and his arms were
swollen. The parents admitted and rationalized that they caused these injuries
to their son.
The child was flown to Children’s Hospital in serious condition. After multiple
skin graphs and surgeries, he became stabilized and started to speak about the
horror he endured. Police Officer Richard became very involved in his welfare.
She visited him at Children’s Hospital on her own time, over two dozen times
in excess of 40 hours. She used her own money to buy him clothes and food.
With Christmas approaching, the boy shared that he never received a gift.
Officer Richard sprang into action to request donations from fellow officers.
Toys arrived from several districts. Officer Richard and fellow officers wrapped
the gifts. On Christmas Eve, she and fellow officer Michael Zito drove down to
Children’s Hospital with a truck-load of toys. The boy woke up on Christmas Day
to see that Santa Claus had finally arrived.
Officer Richard remains committed to the health and happiness of this child.
For her acts of kindness on her own time, and at her own expense, the
Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce is honored to present the Chief
Bernard D. Crooke Jr. Community Service Award to Police Officer 1
Amber Richard.
