The Ville - 8/27/2022
My wife and I resided in the Vansville area of Beltsville for close to 30 years. Several of our immediate neighbors have also lived on this block for the same period of time. All have raised children who went on to lead productive lives while securing undergraduate and, in many cases, graduate degrees. During snowstorms neighbors are out concurrently shoveling their sidewalks and those of their neighbors. A week before Christmas, the local volunteer fire department comes through with several trucks and Santa Claus bringing up the rear. We have great access to the cultural riches of Washington DC, Baltimore, MD and a short drive to the Atlantic

We have always complimented the local police on their quick

crime - 7/29/2011
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. I have lives in Beltsville for 30 years and I am very discouraged by the negative turn it has taken in the last 5 years. I am very sorry to post this negative review but I must be honest. 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

Crime Rates misleading - 9/1/2006
Crime rates should include data about incorporated towns or places. Pockets of high crime areas in a county create a bias when then are actually many safe and flourishing communities where theft, robberies, or assaults rarely
