Pr. George's prosecutors will target parole violators - Crime Scene - The Washington Post

Prosecutors in Prince George’s County on Tuesday received a boost in their efforts to track and crack down on criminals who violate the terms of their parole and probation with the announcement by Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) of a $306,605 grant for that purpose.

Authorities said the state’s attorney’s office in Prince George’s will use the funds to create a new collateral offender unit. The team will consist of two prosecutors and two paralegals who will identify and prosecute parole violators, officials said. The members of the unit will handle parole violation cases exclusively, O’Malley said.
