Prince George's County making progress on reducing domestic violence

The new Prince George's County Sheriff says the county is already making progress this year on reducing domestic violence deaths this year.

"The recent report of the decline of deaths related to domestic violence is important to this community," says Sheriff Melvin High.

He says they've been able to build trust in the county, and he's brought in experts to focus on domestic crimes.

"People are willing to accept this service as an aid to break the cycle of violence rather than doing so and living in danger and in the shadows," says High.
