CivicScout counts police reports that carry a map location (the Montgomery County Police Department and the Rockville City, Gaithersburg City and Takoma Park departments) and traffic crashes inside the Potomac Census-place outline. About 1 in 7 reports in the county feed, and 1 in 6 reports of serious violent crime, carries no map location, so the counts understate crime, violent crime included, and cannot show that an area has little of it. Incidents handled by the Chevy Chase Village, campus, federal and park police do not appear. The Navy’s Carderock Division in West Bethesda is policed by federal police, so its incidents are not in the county feed.
