We, the undersigned residents of north College Park are concerned about public safety in the area around the western entrance to the Greenbelt Metro station. The area has seen a number of frequent and often violent crimes such as assaults, thefts and muggings. Recently, a 15 year-old teenager was sexually assaulted by a lone perpetrator in broad daylight.

We believe that the only way to address such excessive crime in this area is to install surveillance cameras at the entrance of the Metro station and along the pathway that leads to the nearby neighborhood.

We ask WMATA to take immediate action to install these cameras at the suggested locations and make Metro riders from our neighborhood feel safe.
