Six police agencies operating in College Park came to last week’s Council worksession last week to report statistics regarding criminal activity from the first 9 months of the year. The agencies include, College Park Contract Police, Prince George’s County police, transit police, Park and Planning police, State police, and University of Maryland police. They reported that except vehicle thefts, crime has again gone down in College Park in almost all categories. Police attribute the overall decline in crime to the increasing and improved cooperation between the community and the police through their liaisons and education program.
