| Barrack Information: |
The barrack is the primary law enforcement agency responsible for patrol and
traffic enforcement on approximately 92 miles of road in the northwest portion of Prince
George’s County. An attempted traffic stop in January led into a high speed chase that
was ended after the deployment of stop sticks. The unlicensed driver had a stolen
vehicle, a gun, an ounce of marijuana, and $447; a related search of two locations
yielded 1.1 pounds of PCP, 84 MDMA (ecstasy) pills, some cocaine, digital scales, and
numerous rounds of ammunition. Another traffic stop and chase recovered 78 baggies
of crack cocaine, as well as heroin, marijuana, and three handguns (one of which was
stolen). A third stop and chase involved an assault on the trooper and the seizure of
$26,105 as drug proceeds. Investigation into the thefts of unattended vehicles from roads led to arrests and the recovery of 19 stolen vehicles from a junk yard. The barrack participated in 21 DUI checkpoints that resulted in 54 DUI arrests. Arrests for drugs increased 17% from 2005 (53 to 62) as did total criminal arrests, 313 up to 350. Busy troopers also completed the field training of 12 new troopers, assisted on the Annual Challenge Day at a local special needs school, helped in the educational campaign on the dangers of teen driving, and received numerous awards from State and local organizations. |
