Prince George's Police Chief Roberto L. Hylton knew he had to rebuild his department's relationship with the community. He also knew he needed eyes and ears in the county's neighborhoods and officers to develop sources within the county's criminal element.
In short, he was looking for a group of officers to become the department's ambassadors to Prince George's County.
So Hylton grabbed 65 beat officers and created the Community Response Team.
