Hundreds of people wanted for crimes were arrested recently in Prince George's County thanks to a grant, and the county sheriff hopes to continue the effort.
"We're asking all of these partners, what more can you do, absent overtime, to help us continue this," says Prince George's County Sheriff Melvin High.
He also wants to make changes within his department.
"Part of what we're doing in the Sheriff's office is looking at our resources, saying where can we pull to focus on this as a priority issue, so that we can increase the number of staff assigned to this particular function," High says.
The arrests came during a warrant initiative in Prince George's County, paid for with a $250,000 federal Byrne Justice Assistance Grant through the Governor's Office of Crime Control and Prevention
