The county will vote on $1.4 million for 83 managerial employees in the departments of fire and rescue, police, and sheriff’s office who filed grievances.

“I feel like people need to understand this place is not designed for us to live out of,” one woman said.

The measure is named after two-year-old Ezechiel Nguemezi, who died in Oct. 2020 after he fell out of a third floor window in a Takoma Park apartment building. 

Councilmembers say they want to increase transparency and accountability within Montgomery County’s police department.
