Finally, some semi-positive news on the crime front in Prince George’s County. I say “semi” because the numbers are still pretty bad. Carjacking went from 476 in 2007 to 338 in 2008. One is too many, in my opinion. How about striving for zero carjackings? Carjackings are down and homicides are slight up. I guess we have to pick our battles.
