Upper Marlboro, MD… The Prince George’s County Office of the
Sheriff is hosting the “Purple Light Nights ®” lighting ceremony on October 1,
2015 to begin Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Sheriff High said the “Purple
Light Nights®” lighting ceremony symbolizes a continuing need to raise
awareness and a unified voice against domestic violence. “Purple Light Nights®” is a community event
that brings us all together against a crime that we can face as a community,” said
Sheriff High.
Purple light bulbs will be provided to guests at the lighting ceremony and at Domestic Violence Intervention Division (DVID) events during the month. “Thanks to our Presenting Sponsor Pepco, we have light bulbs to support our municipalities, college and university, and church partners who joined our effort this year to bathe the county in Purple,” said Sheriff High. “We’re simply asking our friends and neighbors to shine a purple light on their porch or in their window during all the nights of October.”

Sheriff’s deputies attempted to serve 72 warrants during the sweep with three teams of 4 deputies on the street with an additional team available to handle paperwork. The Child Support Sweep was comprised of CSEU deputies, as well as deputies from The Warrant/ Fugitive Division, Planning, Research & Development Division, and the District Court Division with support from clerical staff.
“With deputy support from other divisions to augment our teams, our two-day Back to School Warrant Sweep was a success. We were especially pleased to arrest a defendant with arrearages of over $40,200.00 and another who has avoided this process since 2003, said Captain Sharon Saunders, Civil Divisions Assistant Chief, Bureau of Field Operations." This is the core of our partnership with the State Office of Child Support Enforcement, to bring these individuals before the court and to facilitate the collection of dollars that provide for the care of children in the care of custodial parents, she said. Captain Saunders went on to say that the success of the operation was possible because of the careful planning and execution by the teams and those who supported them.
