'Best for Vets' Honor For Prince George's County Police

The Prince George’s County Police Department is recognized as one of the top seven on the “Best for Vets: Law Enforcement 2015” list.

The Military Times sent out surveys to law enforcement agencies across the country in order to rank them. Each participating department answered over 90 questions analyzing the military recruiting, service policies, reservist rules, and departmental culture.

Out of the agencies that completed the survey, only 24 were ranked on the list. Prince George’s County Police Department was among seven of those departments that got special recognition for having the most accommodating practices and environments for veterans.

“Nearly 300 of our current officers have proudly served in all branches of the military,” the PGPD said in a news release. “We are thankful to all military veterans and are pleased that so many now wear the uniform of the Prince George’s County Police Department.”

PGPD gives hiring preference to those with a military background and offers retirement credit for officers who served in the military.
