Welcome to the PCRC!

The Anne Arundel County Police-Community Relations Council (PCRC) is a voluntary, independent, self-constituted advisory body. The PCRC exists with the purpose of promoting the concept that citizens, communities and the police have a common goal. This goal is the maintenance of law and order, reduction of crime and the protection of the community. The PCRC promotes the relationship and understanding necessary to effectively attain this purpose.

Each police district has its own PCRC which holds monthly meetings at the district station with the following objectives:

1. To acquaint individual citizens with their responsibility in the maintenance and preservation of law and order through the implementation of various programs.
2. To acquaint the general public with the professionalization and operation of police activities.
3. To secure public cooperation with the police department through better understanding and communications.
4. To promote increased cooperation between the police and other community agencies.
5. To serve as a base for neighborhood maintenance and improvement.
6. To assist in crime prevention.
7. To serve as liaison between the police department and the neighborhoods.
8. To consult with district police department personnel on problems of law enforcement within the district and render suggestions for improving police service.
9. To assist police in the education of all citizens on how to reduce opportunities for crime to occur.
10. To reduce juvenile crime.
11. To refer to the police department all questions involving clarification of department policy.
12. To promote utilization of existing facilities and agencies in the district.

Theft from auto is a common crime all over Anne Arundel County and the numbers could take a serious dive down if folks just took a couple seconds to hit that remote and lock their cars. That's all it takes! It really is that simple.

Did you know that police stations in all 4 districts are transaction safe zones? Feel free to utilize them when shopping from an online seller or even in custody situations. 

Southern District Police Station would like to forward this scam alert to the community.
The suspect is calling elderly victims telling them a loved one was arrested and needed bail money. One victim suffered a $30K loss.
Talk to elderly parents about scams such as this. Set up their phones so that they can easily check on the family members in question from a personal and trusted phone number.
