Prince George's County, MD -- Interested in Crime in your Area?

By
Check SpotCrime or MyLocalCrime to view crime throughout Prince George's County, MD!  With the help of the PG County Police Department, SpotCrime is now mapping crime information daily.

PG County has a population of 834, 560, lies outside of Washington, DC and is the wealthiest county in the nation with an African-American majority.

Recently, there has been much speculation of corruption in the police department with the recent arrests of officers in the department as well as County Executive Jack Johnson and his wife, Leslie Johnson a councilwoman-elect.  The Johnson's have been under a corruption investigation and were arrested on charges of tampering and destroying evidence on November 12th of this year.

Releasing information to SpotCrime for all residents to view is a great example of how PG County is now working to increase transparency in their Police Department.  SpotCrime is also a great tool for the department to connect with their residents, making residents more aware of what crimes occur locally. 

Check out the SpotCrime map to see that most of the crime occurs closer to the DC-PG County line, it almost looks as if the 'Theft' and 'Robbery' icons are running to the nation's capital! (Head here to view the Washington, DC crime map)

Head to SpotCrime or MyLocalCrime to sign up to receive crime alerts directly in your inbox.  You can also use the sites to view and search for crime in your area.

Keep in mind the PG County map only shows the information sent by the PGPD.  The municipalities that serve the unincorporated areas of the county will hopefully be added later in 2011.  UMD, College Park crime map can be found at UCrime.com

Stay safe!
