You Tell Us: What Should Be Done About Recent Crime in College Park?
Crime is up. What should be done about it?
It happens every year: Crime in College Park spikes around the same time school gets back in session at the University of Maryland.
Below is a map detailing robberies in the last two months -- the green pegs indicate robberies that occurred from Aug. 7 - Sept. 7; the blue pegs indicate robberies that occurred earlier in August and through the month of July.
So what should be done about it? Does College Park need its own police force? More contract police? More lights?
