Dear Friend of the PGPD Passes Away

Members of the Prince George’s County Police Department’s District IV Station are mourning the loss of a dear friend. Ms. Nancy Tufts passed away Sunday, September 16^th, at her Tantallon home.  She was 102 years old.

District IV detectives first befriended Ms. Tufts early last summer while investigating a rash of burglaries in the Fort Washington area. From that moment, several Prince George’s County Police detectives began returning for visits and to help restore the garden and property at her historic home.  http://goo.gl/isojq

The family of Ms. Tufts invited District IV police officers to serve as pallbearers, a gesture that symbolizes the endearing friendship and gratitude she had for the police department.  She will be buried at St. John's Episcopal Church.  Information for the memorial service is provided below.
