Crime does not respect municipal boundaries, so area public safety agencies collaborate closely through COG and other regionwide initiatives to track crime trends, communicate during real-time emergencies, and launch innovative programs to target crime and protect public wellbeing. COG's Annual Report on Crime and Crime Control, released recently, highlighted a troubling trend in rising property crime, but includes promising information on regionwide coordination among our local, state, and federal public safety agencies.
In this episode of Think Regionally, host Robert McCartney sits down with two area police chiefs, City of Laurel Police Chief and COG Police Chiefs Committee Chair Russell Hamill and Prince George's County Police Chief Malik Aziz, and Scott Boggs, Managing Director of COG's Department of Homeland Security and Public Safety, to discuss rising crime and other challenges, and how the region is working together to keep communities safe.
