Prince George's County Police and Radio One Team Up in 'Stop The Violence' Radio-Thon

Usually when the phones light up at the radio stations, it's for song requests or contests giveaways given by the DJs. But those weren't the only calls coming in Tuesday.

Prince George's County Police set up camp at five Radio One stations. They were taking calls from listeners who may have important information about crime.

"Most of the listeners are calling in with criminal activity in their neighborhoods. We are taking their information, we are dispatching that information to the districts in which those activities are occurring and we're going to have officers as well as detectives take those tips," said Lt. Tammy Sparkman of Prince George's County Police.
