The resident asked how to report and resolve the situation.

Major Eddie Ciccolleti responded that homelessness alone is not a crime but that trespass on private property is enforceable: \"If you're on private property, you can be asked to leave. And if you come back, we'll place you under arrest for trespassing,\" he said. Ciccolleti said officers would increase patrols in the area and asked the resident to email photographs and the location so staff could follow up.

Councilmember Jacob Hernandez and other participants confirmed the property in question is privately owned and said the process typically requires the property owner to ask police to remove someone from private land. Ciccolleti said the department offers services and shelter referrals to unhoused individuals but noted many decline help. He said the department would attempt to locate the site before dark on the night of the meeting.

During the same exchange, participants discussed neighborhood watch programs. Officials and Councilmember Maria Mackey described active neighborhood watch efforts on the west side of the campus and in District 4 and encouraged residents and workers to contact the city about forming neighborhood watch groups where activity is a concern.

No enforcement action was recorded during the meeting; staff said they would follow up directly with the resident and send officers to the site.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Monthly Public Safety Meeting - June 2, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A College Park resident reported what she described as a suspected encampment adjacent to Hollywood Elementary School; police said they would increase patrols and explained trespass procedures.","taxTitle","College Park, Prince George's County, Maryland","taxId",53864,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6525222,"Prince George's County holds three noise‑camera licenses; College Park staff to follow up on deployment options",313,2245000,2558000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3639361-f5ea31631c544cdaeb9a8ee678b3d7e0&start=2245&end=2558","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3639361-f5ea31631c544cdaeb9a8ee678b3d7e0/thumbnail_2245000.jpg","/articles/6525222/College-Park/Prince-Georges-County/Maryland/Prince-Georges-County-holds-three-noisecamera-licenses-College-Park-staff-to-follow-up-on-deployment-options","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6525222-599ae0e425c7a228c2d9415c2b3d5de5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771034814&Signature=MIBWL204VHY2swUyaRqY1aYtG7I6WDyiVV6xt9VxX3WtqtEl3-ZHgyAxFeKkFfz9EHG7j-73IAZm0~NtbKnvqa3eUxvz2MVmFRDRCzV7vYNoT3J4fcdp05TvoWuoeNYnZ5SeDMMlCX7We1sSMmSXE6-fAXyWFu1~4tRzskZ83xtNTO7ATsqRUI3CqnzAajeO3Jd0vVgTShEjylqP3CVUe2VAj4soEzVX8yVUR~PYDcRVVl9I0h3lJQEpTj0tW14nk-9rfMQ9iXHXUvpn0okInG7AFA3Xm5L41AE5uRKZgDMIteO88I508qHNyw6ls7gRQvyw0HgfKsyNa~oA7DVH5Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Meeting participants discussed state legislation that created a pilot program for vehicle noise cameras and noted Prince George's County had three licensed noise‑camera authorizations but none operational yet.

Resident Todd asked whether the county had deployed noise cameras in College Park and whether the city could encourage deployment. Public Services Director Jitendra Kokar and Mayor Kabir said the cameras are part of a limited pilot authorized by state law and that jurisdictions request county approval or coordinate with the county for installation. \"It's a pilot program, and there's only a handful of cameras the jurisdiction can have,\" Mayor Kabir said.

Major Ciccolleti said he believed Prince George's County held three licenses but that cameras were not yet operational and that staff would reach out to the county for a timeline and share findings at the next monthly meeting. Officials cautioned about technological and enforcement limitations: Kokar noted vehicles sometimes have tags that do not match the vehicle, which can limit enforcement; speakers also said the technology is still maturing and that jurisdictions using it are collecting data to evaluate effectiveness.

No formal city action was taken; staff committed to contacting Prince George's County to gather the county's status and any process the city must follow to request a camera.","Participants discussed a state pilot and county‑level licensing for noise cameras; staff agreed to contact Prince George's County for details and update the group at the next meeting.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6525227,"College Park budget adds public safety lead and proposes stop‑sign cameras in each district",163,53000,216000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3639361-f5ea31631c544cdaeb9a8ee678b3d7e0&start=53&end=216","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3639361-f5ea31631c544cdaeb9a8ee678b3d7e0/thumbnail_53000.jpg","/articles/6525227/College-Park/Prince-Georges-County/Maryland/College-Park-budget-adds-public-safety-lead-and-proposes-stopsign-cameras-in-each-district","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6525227-aa13be86e41c9c777118a250805531a0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771034814&Signature=NfNQhFk3tHSNeosLqW4ERzWCMszfEH1pHe0QqNzUXhEyLZq7wSmXripDDsmSvpnrtcx61nFu1QaN21snTQLx2-YSK8PBwB-M19UobG49pwlFevmJepF5OUdVqDlWZEeyZjEFJMbe2JSQuFiQOyh9uICoRTsYlxINAKVgjJtjUhJeafhQxRgRMgxUImWkZ9XZcbfMcovdf1PpeGgkrbNQGfv2CA2kylPxF~WFGVhRt86G-ro80lHTvGCTrUGJTusIPww1Y9SKWxcT0Obs21ykFQLaU7~AmY3r0otQ0u7Di4T6b3i3BX2QfnwqwoBAmcuweQWXY2jNv3fikJpf2bg2-A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mayor Kabir and Public Services Director Jitendra Kokar highlighted a new public safety lead position included in the city budget and described a proposed stop‑sign camera pilot for College Park.

Mayor Kabir said the new budgeted position will \"take care of the coordination between the different police agencies within the city, like PGPD, University of Maryland Police Department, Park Police, Transit Police\" and will also oversee the city’s camera program. He thanked councilmembers and staff for approving the position at a recent meeting.

Kokar described a separate proposal to add a public safety program to monitor stop‑sign violations under a new state law that allows jurisdictions to install stop‑sign cameras. Kokar said the city plans to install cameras initially at five locations — one in each district — and that the proposal was expected to be considered by the city council the following night.

Both officials explained the stop‑sign cameras will function similarly to speed cameras and that the early plan is to rotate or site cameras to cover high‑complaint locations. Kokar said the program addresses pedestrian safety and thanked staff for their work preparing the proposal.

No formal vote on the stop‑sign camera program occurred during the public safety meeting; Kokar and Mayor Kabir said the item was on the council agenda for the next regular meeting.","Mayor and staff discussed a new budgeted public safety lead position to coordinate multiple policing agencies and a proposed stop‑sign camera program with five initial locations, one per district; city to consider council vote the next day.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6525232,"College Park sees theft and shoplifting uptick in May; police report 10 stolen vehicles and a commercial robbery",1045,343000,1388000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3639361-f5ea31631c544cdaeb9a8ee678b3d7e0&start=343&end=1388","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3639361-f5ea31631c544cdaeb9a8ee678b3d7e0/thumbnail_343000.jpg","/articles/6525232/College-Park/Prince-Georges-County/Maryland/College-Park-sees-theft-and-shoplifting-uptick-in-May-police-report-10-stolen-vehicles-and-a-commercial-robbery","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6525232-d7b6eef3cb49badcf63838733b0ad88e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771034814&Signature=Ax5kNlSXcrRUjnK97Hi4-ot12frV9Cd9V0awmpLT1nSEHRLM-RpkiVmsrcTtSRzOdrnUXQceMIYHr2qzc0DrLTWfRUhmJaeQ-qZygcK~FtQcprbX6KrQ3E1Vr~R~uyptRlMay1OzDdggRY50O93c7v9QhUckEe4gZonFbLnKN3dnyI52YIM74MGsaB3ojjSE9WI2qWMK9UvOJBKsqN9nD6CXlio4HYoHw3iLDQXh44X-wT4zDjSMrEdtVUB7AuC2nmwXhRhk-PoUGTXi~PizMjqpahW0hFjDGwKQNA5c83WsLW4PYYln1haiK97UuujNem4GX2Crh~yNYkAmQP6-Tw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Major Eddie Ciccolleti, presenting the College Park daily crime report for May, told attendees the city recorded one commercial robbery, four assaults, two commercial burglaries, one residential burglary, four thefts from autos, 17 other thefts and 10 stolen vehicles during the month.

The report, which Ciccolleti said included new year‑to‑date comparison columns for 2023–2025, showed an overall downward trend in total reported crime across the three years but local increases in categories such as shoplifting and thefts from vehicles. \"If it wasn't for the force that was used on the victim, it would be classified as a theft, but, unfortunately, since the victim was assaulted, it is considered a robbery,\" Ciccolleti said of a May 1 incident at a Wawa on the 10000 block of Baltimore Avenue in which three masked suspects stole cigarettes and cigars.

Ciccolleti described other incidents in May: an assault at 7313 Baltimore Avenue in which a suspect threw rocks and shattered a storefront window after a struggle with an employee; a May 26 commercial burglary at an Exxon station reported at 8:38 a.m. in which the front glass door was shattered and cash and cigarettes were stolen; and a commercial burglary at a business in the 4400 block of Knox Road on May 27 in which a rear steel door was pried open and cash was taken.

On vehicle‑related crime, Ciccolleti said thefts from autos increased from six in April to 14 in May, and that six of those incidents included stolen airbags, tires or rims. The department recorded 10 stolen vehicles in May, up from nine in April.

Ciccolleti and other staff fielded questions about how the year‑to‑date columns are calculated; Ciccolleti confirmed the \"year to date\" columns reflect January through the current month and said staff can provide full 12‑month totals for 2023 and 2024 on request. Mayor Kabir and councilmembers thanked staff for adding the comparative charts.

Residents asked about shoplifting hot spots and what items were being targeted; Ciccolleti said common targets include food, hygiene products, tools, laundry detergent, alcohol and cigarettes, and he cited a CVS at the 8300 block of Baltimore Avenue as one of the locations with multiple calls in May. He also invited residents with specific leads to share photos or locations with the department so patrols can be increased.

The presentation included heat maps of calls for service, quality‑of‑life complaints, field interviews and traffic stops. Ciccolleti said the department added multi‑year comparisons to help the public see trends, but he cautioned monthly totals can fluctuate. \"You can always have one or two bad months, which changes the numbers, real quickly,\" he said.

The meeting record shows staff answered follow‑up requests about providing full‑year totals for prior years and about adding context to the charts; no formal board votes or policy decisions were taken during the crime report portion of the meeting.

Less‑critical details and next steps: staff said they will try to provide 12‑month totals for 2023 and 2024 and welcomed residents' photos or specific addresses to guide patrols.","College Park police presented May crime statistics showing increases in shoplifting, thefts from vehicles and 10 stolen cars; officials highlighted trends and locations and answered resident questions about enforcement and data presentation.","actionData","errors"]
