19th Annual Clackamas County Domestic Violence Warrant Sweep Closes 55 Warrants

 

Upper Marlboro, MD… The Prince George’s County Office of the Sheriff, with federal, state and local law enforcement partners participated in the 19^th Annual Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office’s National Family Violence Apprehension Detail that began late into the evening of October 19th and ended in early morning of October 20, 2022.

The Clackamas County Annual Warrant Sweep takes place in October - Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The warrant operation was launched in 2002 by Clackamas County Sheriff Craig Roberts when he was still a detective, and is a reminder that domestic violence is a crime.

Eight teams were formulated in this year’s sweep, including members from the Maryland State Police (MSP), Maryland National Capital Park Police (MNCPP), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI),  Prince George’s County Police Department (PGPD), Bladensburg Police, Hyattsville City Police, Glenarden Police, Greenbelt Police, University of Maryland Police, Edmonton Police, Laurel Police, Riverdale Park, Berwyn Heights Police, Mount Rainer Police, Bowie City Police, Seat Pleasant Police, Forest Heights Police, and University Park Police.

We also express a special thanks to the Prince George’s County Department of Corrections, and Prince George's County Public Safety Communications for their participation and partnership in making this joint venture a success.

During the sweep, teams attempted to serve warrants at 75 addresses that resulted in 47 arrests to close 55 open warrants, most of which were domestic violence related. Arrests included 18 Second Degree Assaults, 10 First Degree Felony Assaults, 1 Child Sex Crime, 1 Second Degree Rape, 1Armed Robbery, and 1 Possession of a Regulated Firearm.  

“Especially during October, we draw attention to domestic violence and resources for victims. Domestic assault and the many actions related to domestic abuse are crimes for which abusers must be held accountable through our justice system. Bringing these accused subjects before the court is important to those who are victimized and to the administration of justice. The warrant closures demonstrate the value of multi-jurisdictional partnerships as they multiply our forces and provide for enhanced community safety and the administration of justice,” said Sheriff High.
