A MESSAGE FROM THE DEPUTY CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE
OFFICER (DCAO) FOR PUBLIC SAFETY
Team Leader for TNI Team Glassmanor-Oxon Hill
DEDICATION, SERVICE & HONOR
I have been afforded the opportunity to serve many communities in a variety of
capacities within Public Safety for over thirty years.
As a Public Safety Official serving the residents, citizens, and visitors of this great
County, I have been both enhanced and impacted by day-to-day operations and events.
In keeping with this, when County Executive Baker appointed me to serve as one of six
Team Leaders for his new “Transforming Neighborhoods Initiative (TNI),” I welcomed
the opportunity and immediately began strategizing with my team. My background in
Public Safety prepared me to meet the challenge of providing across the board service
to the Glassmanor-Oxon Hill focus area, while maintaining and increasing established
Public Safety service levels Countywide.
Over the course of the past few weeks, I have been pleasantly surprised by the positive
feedback received from Glassmanor-Oxon Hill Community Members who have reached
out to me to acknowledge the efforts and commitment of the dedicated men and women
who comprise the TNI Glassmanor-Oxon Hill Team. I have also been moved and
inspired by the outpouring of support from the community in the wake of the loss of
Prince George’s County’s finest, Officer Adrian A. Morris, #3510.
It gives me great pride to dedicate this first edition to the many men and women who
have helped me, both past and present, in achieving the mission of providing “service
excellence!”
I thank you for your dedication, service, and the honor of working with all of you.

Family, Friends and law enforcement agencies from around the country came to honor a
fallen hero as the Prince George’s County Police Department laid to rest Police Officer
First Class Adrian Morris. The 23 year old was posthumously promoted at his funeral on
August 28, 2012 at Woodstream Church in Mitchellville. Police Officer First Class Morris
will be remembered for his enthusiasm and devotion to his family, career, community and
fellow police officers. The 2 ½ year veteran joined PGPD after volunteering as a police
Explorer for five years. He was born in Kingston, Jamaica, raised in Laurel, and became a
U.S. Citizen in 2009. POFC Morris graduated from Greenbelt’s Eleanor Roosevelt High
School in 2007. He was assigned to the District VI station for his entire career. POFC
Morris Died in the line of duty on Monday, August 20, 2012, in a car crash on I-95 in
Beltsville. POFC Morris is survived by his mother, father, brother and fiance’. He is the
27th member of the department to die in the line of duty. We are forever grateful for his
service and sacrifice to the citizens and residents of Prince George’s County.
TNI THINKPAD REPORT
The “T-PAD REPORT” is the
section of our newsletter which
captures and reports on the
team’s overall community
o u t r e a c h e f f o r t s a n d
participation.
In most instances, the community events are a part
of long-standing initiatives, and TNI Team Members are
lending their support to bring about community awareness
and provide services in the focus area. Additionally, various
TNI Team Members, in concert with their respective agencies
and the support of the community, may also plan and
participate in community events.
One such event was our “TNI Safe Summer” Basketball Game
held at Glassmanor Community Center on Monday, July 30,
2012. This successful community event was coordinated
through the joint effort of the Office of the County Executive
and Maryland National Capital Park and Planning
Commission.

H.U.T. “Helpful Information, Upcoming Events, & Tips”
►HELPFUL INFORMATION
We are working diligently to address complaints and requests regarding abandoned property
and overall blight within the focus area. In some instances, requests can be addressed via litter
pick-up or the mowing of a lawn. In other cases, it can take upwards of eighteen months or more
to “fully” process and resolve property abandonment and blight issues.
Coordinated efforts involving multiple agencies and Transforming Neighborhoods Initiative
Teams (TNI’s), are currently underway in order to identify effective ways to streamline both the
process and expedite resolution when property abandonment and blight issues arise.
