A Prince William County police officer shot & killed a man swinging a knife at him this morning to the rear of their Central District Police Station.

On December 5 at 5:06AM, a Prince William County police officer was involved in an officer-involved shooting on the grounds of the Department of Fire & Rescue Station 26 and the Central District Police Station located in the 5000 block of Davis Ford Rd in Woodbridge (22192) during an encounter with a man on the property. Preliminarily, a uniformed police officer was completing their work shift when the officer received information about a man in the rear parking lot of the fire station. As the officer made contact with the man, a knife was seen in the man’s hand. The man began approaching the officer, waving the knife in front of him and towards the officer. The officer gave several commands to the man to drop the knife. The man did not comply and continued advancing towards the officer. At one point, the officer discharged their service weapon, striking the man in the upper body. Additional officers arrived on the scene soon after, and immediate first-aid was administered by officers and fire & rescue personnel from the nearby fire station. The man was transported to an area hospital, where he later died from his injuries. No officers, fire & rescue personnel, or other community members were injured during the incident, which remains contained to the grounds of the property.

The Montgomery County Police Department could be losing 10% or more of its officers next year to retirement. 🚨

Bill 19-23E (proposed by the county’s executive & passed unanimously by the county council in August of 2023) will increase officer’s pension benefits starting in January 2025, which is therefore estimated to lead to a loss of “more than 100 officers, either to immediate retirement (30+) or entrance in the Discontinued Service Retirement Plan. (DRSP) (70+)”

Recent recruit classes have only averaged 25 recruits, which would remain too low to address this dramatic decrease in staffing.

This would all come on top of soaring vacancies + elevated crime rates after the pandemic.

“The sworn vacancy rate was 1% in 2019 and it’s 13% now. Because of officers on no duty or light duty, 77% of patrol officers are available for duty.” -via Adam Pagnucco, Montgomery Perspective. “‘In FY24, the approved overtime budget totaled $11.6 million, but the department spent $19.9 million.’ Patrol overspent its overtime budget by 86% in FY24.”

Although MCP did see a slight reduction in crime last year, it remains uncertain if numbers can stay that was as a result of this “police staffing bomb.”

THE SAME BOY RETURNS!

The same 12 year-old, (“reportedly,”) found a few friends his age to steal electric scooters with in Old Town College Park/UMD tonight. Police quickly caught up to him & his buddies at the College Park Metro, but are not able to put him in cuffs due to his age. He will likely be given a ride home again, and this is at least the 10th time here in Maryland he’s been caught & released…

To top things off, one of the boys tried to fight the other one in front of police, while already detained. The two were quickly separated.

The question remains: where are the parents in all this?

Sharing This Story out of Charles County, MD, As Requested By Many Of You All 🙏

“November 15,2024 my son who attends a school in Charles county has experienced something no child should have never in life experience. My child who is a 2nd grader was hung in the boys bathroom by a 4th grader. I received the most traumatizing phone call from the school stating that my child was being rushed to children’s hospital in NW. The principal went into the bathroom & found my baby foaming out the mouth & unconscious. I walked into the trauma room with 8-10 doctors surrounding my son. This is the most heartbreaking & traumatizing situation my family has ever been in. Although I’m not the one to to bring my personal life onto social media however social media has a big platform and this is a story that I want told. To bring awareness to other parents & students by any means. Everything about this is unacceptable nothing about this is ok BULLYING is never ok.
