Chief Treschuk will provide attendees with safety tips, alert them to scams being perpetrated on unsuspecting residents, especially seniors, and focus on driving safety and awareness.

“I will be sharing pertinent information, offering tips and advice to our citizens and answering any and all questions from the audience, particularly concerning public security and safety,” said Chief Treschuk.

Since March 1989, Treschuk has served as Rockville City’s Chief of Police. Starting his law enforcement career in Glastonbury, CT, he served that community for ten years, as well as seven years as Chief of Police in Granby, CT, prior to coming to Maryland. A lifetime member of the International Chiefs of Police, Chief Treschuk is a graduate of the FBI Academy and holds a B.Sci. from the University of New Haven and an M.Sci. in Criminal Justice Administration from the American International College. He was also an adjunct professor at four Connecticut colleges over his 17 years there.
