Duties
As of May 2013, the Prince George's County Sheriff's Office is headed by Sheriff Melvin High, who was on his first term as of 2011. The agency is also unique among other Maryland counties in that it has both a sheriff's office and a county police. Along with its traditional duties as the enforcement arm of the court, the Prince George's County Sheriff's Office responds to all 9-1-1 calls that are domestic-related within District III, has a Deputy (School Resource Deputy) assigned to each of its 20 high schools but recently those duties will be transferred back to the Prince George's County Police Department, and has authority to enforce traffic infractions anywhere in the county.
