WASHINGTON -- Prince George's County is bringing in over 100 federal agents to help stay the string of murders that have left more than a dozen dead just days into the new year.
Interim Police Chief Mark Magaw announced Thursday that approximately 135 officers from the FBI, DEA and ATF will be embedded into county homicide units. This follows the Wednesday, Jan. 12 announcement that the body of a woman found the previous Friday was a murder, bringing the death toll up to 13 since the beginning of 2011.
Magaw says these officers will remain embedded with the county police "until the violence stops."
"I am very concerned about the number of homicides since January 1st," says Magaw, according to a police release.
"We will stop this unacceptably high level of violence that has plagued our inner beltway communities."

county will need more help than that. It 's breeding ground for criminals , home schooled. Reminds me of Salisbury Maryland.
If you cant hold your own in salisbury,what are you going to do when the real world gets here.
it may turn back to the times, you'd get visit a night from the good ole boys.
Not too many jurisdictions that can track their homicide totals with little more than a calendar.
Wow!, One a day keeps the doctor away....
good thing getting a concealed carry permit is all but impossible.

liberalism will kill us all if we don't eradicate it.
guess this is all Sarah Palin's fault.
you libz and demoncrats make me sick.
Get used to it. It's not going to stop. Just get worse. It's not one person's or thing's fault, it's a combination of several things.
The world is reaping what it has sowed.
