Task Force Report: March 9

At least one day each month MRPD’s power shift officers work on a joint task force with officers from the Maryland-National Capital Park Police. The purpose of this task force is to find and address criminal activity on M-NCPPC property and on properties that border our local parks. The officers concentrate their patrol and surveillance activities on the park areas in Mount Rainier, Hyattsville, and Brentwood, and in other areas where criminal activity has been identified. On March 9th the task force made the following arrests:

4300 block of Bladensburg Road: At about 2:45 pm the task force officers were stopped by a citizen who informed them of a possible theft in progress. The officers found the individuals described by the witness. The officers’ investigation revealed that the individuals were not involved in committing a theft, however one of the individuals was found to have an outstanding arrest warrant. Because the incident occurred in Park Police jurisdiction the park officers handled the warrant service.

37th Place & Quincy Street (Brentwood): At about 4:15 pm the task force officers observed a suspicious individual loitering in a known drug area. Officers stopped the individual for a field interview and checked his wanted status through NCIC. He was found to have an open warrant for driving without a license. He was arrested without incident and delivered to the custody of DOC in Hyattsville.

Crime Prevention Tip: Car Alarms

I received this earlier today courtesy of CPL Jim Flynn of the Bladensburg Police Department: For those of you who have a vehicle that has a remote entry device, you may also have a handy burglar/emergency alarm that you probably don’t think about. Most of these remote entry devices have a panic button that activates your vehicle’s security alarm system. Test it. It will activate from almost anywhere inside your house and will keep honking and flashing the lights until either your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the remote entry fob. It works if your vehicle is parked in your driveway or garage. So, the next time you come home for the night and start to put your keys away think of this: Put your car keys beside your bed when you retire for the night. If you hear a noise outside your home or someone tries to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, within a few se...
