Crime in PG County Maryland?

I live in Fairfax County, VA and have family in PGC. I know there is crime there but are there crack fiends and lots of hard drugs? Because its a suburb i would think there would be only killings and robberies.

PG County is equivilant to Southeast DC.....its rough, there are a lot of murders, robberies, hard drugs and drug addicts.

It depends on what part of PG you are talking about... For example, Bowie is fairly safe and family oriented but if you travel 10 miles to Landover, you might want to pack some heat !

I am Born & Raised in PG County in a town called Capitol Heights in which is the town that you enter right next to DC
in the very east corner of the city.

Its real funny because its the richest Majority black county in the US but the Worst County as far as crime too.

Damn, what a combination huh.

We still hood over here though.

And our police rank # 3 as most corrupt after NYPD and LAPD.

And we not allowed to own Pitbulls and other large built dogs.

I own four but I do not fight my dogs. Mine Are Trained Through the pack.

Alot changes in PG county when you leave the inskirts which runs around the city in a ring of towns on the map.

Check out www.wikipedia.org for more info.

My wife and I live just over the line in PG county and it sucks !!! The crime is terrible, drugs, prostitution are all the norm here. I live in laurel, md its a hell hole i cant wait to move.
