Prince George County police are very slow to respond to 911 calls even when it involves violent crime. It seems the police dept. is under staffed and treat 911 calls as a nuisance. Our neighborhoods was encouraged to create a Neighborhood Watch but have had a few positive meetings with the local PD and little else. Community involvement among residents is non-existant.

There are many places I feel safe, Calverton Shopping Center is one. However, the surrounding neighborhoods are a bit frightening and strolling about after dark is downright stupid.[read more...] |
