The Takoma Park Police Department (TPPD) is the primary law enforcement agency servicing a population of approximately 17,670, within 2.5 square miles (6.5 km2) of the municipality of Takoma Park, Maryland. Until July 1, 1997, the TPPD was aided by both the Prince George's County Police and the Montgomery County Police as the city was divided within the two counties. After that date, the municipality was moved to become contained entirely within Montgomery County by a move of the Maryland General Assembly.
