The Monthly Public Safety Meeting held on July 7, 2025, in College Park, Maryland, brought together local officials and community members to discuss important safety initiatives and community services. Mayor Proton Mitchell opened the meeting by acknowledging the presence of council members and police officers, particularly thanking the Prince George's County police for their support during a recent fireworks event in College Park Woods.

A key highlight of the meeting was the emphasis on a free service provided by the city’s police department: home premise checks. Mayor Kabir urged residents to take advantage of this service, especially during the summer months when many families go on vacation. He noted that the police will conduct checks on homes while residents are away, providing peace of mind and enhancing community safety.

Mayor Kabir shared his personal experience with the service, praising the professionalism of the officers who conducted the checks and left business cards after each visit. He encouraged attendees to spread the word about this valuable resource, which is funded through tax dollars and available at no additional cost to residents.

The meeting underscored the importance of community engagement and the role of local law enforcement in ensuring public safety. By promoting awareness of available services, officials hope to foster a safer environment for all residents. As the meeting concluded, the focus remained on enhancing communication between the police and the community, ensuring that residents feel supported and informed about safety resources.
