In a statement, the department said, “We are committed to protecting life, property and sustaining viable communities to live, work and play in Anne Arundel County. Various involved units met with our command staff as well as our Federal and Regional Task Force Officers to create a strategic plan to stop this violence. While specifics of the plan will not be released due to tactical concerns, many facets of the agency and allied agencies are involved.”
The Department continued, “This is an all-hands-on-deck approach to keep the violence down in our county. Interagency collaboration also is designed to collect, analyze and distribute intelligence data about crime guns, mass shootings, and major incidents within the department and across multiple jurisdictions to provide investigative leads and support to crime gun intelligence initiatives within the county.”
“Violence of any kind is unacceptable in Anne Arundel County. We will investigate every reported violent crime to our fullest extent. Anne Arundel County is a beautiful, safe place to live and work, and we will do everything to keep it that way,” said Anne Arundel County Chief of Police Amal E. Awad.
Police reminded people that the county has a Conflict Resolution Center encouraging all members of the community to take advantage of this free resource before disputes become violent in nature.
