On
Wednesday, Chief Hank Stawinski announced details of a new state-of-the-art
crime fighting tool intended to cut down on property crimes countywide. The
technology, created by SmartWater out of the United Kingdom, allows residents
to mark their personal belongings with a liquid containing a unique forensic
code. Once applied, that liquid can only be seen under UV light. This marking
will allow stolen items to be identified more easily and help detectives
investigate these crimes.
The
Prince George’s County Police Department will be the largest department in the
nation to use this technology and the first in our region. At the news
conference on Wednesday, SmartWater’s Chief Executive Officer, gave a
demonstration on how the technology works. The Prince George's County Police
Foundation and Prince George's County Crime Solvers have provided funding for
this initiative.
To
help spread the message about this new partnership and tool, our Community
Oriented Police Officers, will use the Nextdoor platform to provide information
to residents. The PGPD began partnering with Nextdoor in 2015. It’s a private
social network that allows only verified neighbors to participate. Thousands of
county residents are already using Nextdoor. Residents can also contact their
district station for information.

We
want to alert members of our community about a scam that’s impacted some of our
residents. The suspect or suspects are telling victims that their family member
has been kidnapped and then demanding money.
In
the last month, we’ve received reports of more than one dozen of these cases in
Prince George’s County. In each case, a man calls a family member directly and
demands money be transferred to a bank in Puerto Rico in return for their
kidnapped family member’s safe return. Many of these calls are coming from a
“240” area code. The scammer(s) have successfully received a money transfer
from some of their targeted victims. Preliminarily, it’s believed the suspect
is identifying victims through social media.
