Rice Chief of Police 6016 Princess Garden Pkwy New Carrollton, MD 20784 Crime Analysis In July 2024, the New Carrollton Police Department responded to a total of 1,202 Calls for Service. This represents an increase of 18.3% compared to the previous month, reflecting trends in community activity and police engagement. Call Breakdown: 1. Emergency Calls: 25.8% of total calls (e.g., 911 calls for urgent incidents such as crimes in progress, medical emergencies). 2. Non-Emergency Calls: 37.6% of total calls (e.g., requests for routine assistance, general inquiries). 3. Traffic-Related Calls: 15.3% of total calls (e.g., accidents, traffic violations). 4. Community Policing: 21.2% of total calls (e.g., neighborhood patrols, community outreach). Notable Trends: ● Increase in 911 Disconnect Calls and Traffic Enforcement: There was a notable increase in calls related to 911 Disconnect Calls (31.7% Increase) and Traffic Enforcement (37.1% Increase). ● Decrease in Vehicle Accidents Combined: Calls related to Vehicle Accidents with injuries decreased by 6%, indicating a potential improvement or change in driving behavior. Response Times: ● Average Response Time: The average response time for emergency calls was 1 minute and 17 seconds. ● Average Response Time for Non-Emergency Calls: The average response time for non-emergency calls was 2 minute and 41s. Community Impact: ● Increased Community Engagement: The higher number of calls reflects a strong engagement with the community and a proactive approach in addressing concerns. ● Focus Areas: The department is focusing on traffic enforcement and premise checks in problematic areas based on the nature of calls we received. Challenges: ● High Call Volume: The department managed a high call volume which may have impacted response times or resource allocation. ● Resource Allocation: Adjustments to staffing due to injuries, current assignment status, and vacation have made scheduling staff more effectively difficult. Next Steps: ● Analysis: Further analysis will be conducted to understand the root causes of the increase in calls and to optimize response strategies. ● Community Feedback: Increase engagement with community members to gather feedback on their experiences and needs. Parking Enforcement Report Violation Type Citations Issued Percent of Issued MORE THAN 6 INCHES FROM THE CURB 81 29.80% WITHIN 20 FT, CROSSWALK/INTERSECTION 43 15.80% ON SIDEWALK 24 8.80% VHCL DISPLAYING EXPIRED LIC/REG/TAB 41 15.10% IN FIRE LANE 15 5.50% PROHIBITED PARKING ON UNPAVED AREA 9 3.30% IMPEDE OR OBSTRUCT FLOW OF TRAFFIC 5 1.80% ABANDONED / UNREGISTERED VEHICLE 16 5.90% STNDG, PRKG PROHIBITED BY SIGN/CURB 4 1.50% PENALTY TICKET 1 0.40% PARKED ANY CARGO TRAILERS 5 1.80% WITHIN 15 FT OF FIRE HYDRANT 9 3.30% PARKED COMMERCIAL VEHICLES 3 1.10% PARKED OVER 72 HOURS 3 1.10% "NO PARKING ZONE" 1 0.40% AGAINST THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC 10 3.70% UNATTENDED, ENGINE RUNNING 1 0.40% PARKING TEMPORARILY PROHIBITED 1 0.40% 272 100.00% Automated Speed Enforcement Division Notable Trends: ● Increase in Good Luck Rd Location (Red Light): There was a notable increase in violations related to Good Luck Rd Red Light Violations due to the Device being out of service in June 2024. ● Decrease in 7500 BLK of Good Luck Rd Location (Speed Camera): There was a notable decrease in violations related to Good Luck Rd Speed Camera Violations due to the increased traffic enforcement in the area. Highlights and Achievements Police Chiefs Association of Prince George’s County 2023 Awards We are very proud to announce that Members of the New Carrollton Police Department were honored by the Prince George’s County Chiefs of Police Association which was held at the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) #89.

It’s a place for ppl to gather and actually have a place that they can grow up and revisit as they grow, having a consistent one I think would’ve been nice growing up.” • “I think it would be great if we just renovated the pool and kept it as a pool plus a community center. This is a city and it’s a shame that we have to go somewhere outside of our neighborhood for activities. A community center that has event space where residents could rent for private functions such as birthdays and other celebrations would be a great way to pay for the maintenance of the building; a pool, fitness center, a multipurpose room for community events is exactly what this city needs if it’s expected to survive the next 50 years. It would be an absolute shame and a waste if we allow someone else to buy the land and bring in development that does not benefit the community.” • “Community center and pool. Facility for high end events or birthday parties indoors. Similar to Parks and planning facilities...Rolling Crest in Chillum, indoor pickle ball, meeting room space, cook out areas, classes (sewing, dance, academic,) Some activities could be revenue generating... rental for personal events... However, we need customer service professionals, not what I experienced previously.
