The event at Padgett’s Corner Shopping Mall took place as part of the National Faith & Blue Weekend, which is an initiative aimed at strengthening relationships between law enforcement and local communities through faith-based partnerships. The Prince George’s County Police Department (PGPD) collaborated with faith-based organizations to host events countywide, including the one at Padgett’s Corner.

The goal of these events is to foster open dialogue and trust, provide community support, and highlight the positive work being done by both the police and community leaders. Events like these often feature a mix of activities such as outreach, community service, and discussions about public safety and unity.
