 There's a new plan to deal with a police officer shortage in part of this area. Prince George's County Police say they are understaffed by more than 350 officers. Now county leaders have passed a resolution to help recruit and retain police officers by encouraging colleges to give them tuition benefits. Bowie State University, the University of Maryland, and Prince George's Community College would be part of the pilot program. It would give officers the opportunity to continue or complete their degree at the schools.
