Pr. George’s curfew crackdown ending tomorrow; 4 violations issued
at a community town hall Thursday at the Prince George’s Sports and Learning Complex. “I think the lazy way to look at addressing things is just saying ‘lock everybody up at home.’ ”Data collected from Prince George’s County shows that violent crimes this summer grew to one of its highest points in recent years. During the month of August, there were 24 homicides in the county, the highest in recent decades, the department said.
It’s unclear from the county’s data, however, if the curfew is directly responsible for reduced crime. Crime often dips at this time of year before experiencing another increase leading into the holiday season, according to a review of data since 2017 by The Post.McCreary said that in addition to the curfew, the department dedicated a “significant amount” of overtime resources
, County Police Chief Malik Aziz and Alsobrooks voiced frustration with what they called a “catch and release” problem in which juveniles are arrested and charged and not kept detained. At Thursday’s town hall, however, Prince George’s Circuit Court Judge Michael R. Pearson said the issues surrounding the matter are more complex.
