The City of Rockville operates under the council-manager form of municipal government and derives its governing authority from a charter granted by the General Assembly of Maryland. The governing body is the Mayor and Council, which formulates policies for the administration of the City. The Mayor and Council are comprised of a mayor and four council members elected at large for a two-year term. The mayor is chosen on a separate ballot. The City Manager is appointed by the Mayor and Council to serve as the City’s chief executive officer. As mandated by state law, Montgomery County provides school, library, social services, and fire protection in Rockville. In addition to the Montgomery County Police, Rockville residents are served by the City’s own Police Department. Rockville’s community policing services are specially designed to meet the needs of the community. The Rockville Volunteer Fire Department, consisting of 100 paid professional and 187 volunteer firefighters, provides fire protection to Rockville.
