Prostitutes Greenbelt

Residents have observed increased prostitution activity around Greenbelt Metro Station and adjacent parking lots after dark. This has raised concerns about public safety and loitering in residential neighborhoods bordering commercial districts.

High-Visibility Locations

Industrial zones along Kenilworth Avenue show the highest concentration of suspected solicitation, with individuals approaching vehicles at stoplights. Police reports indicate recurring patrols in these areas following complaints from local businesses about disruptive behavior.

Community Response Measures

Neighborhood associations are advocating for improved street lighting and surveillance cameras near hot spots. Social service providers have simultaneously increased outreach efforts, distributing resource pamphlets about counseling and exit programs to those engaged in sex work.

“We need solutions that address both community safety and the root causes pushing people into this dangerous work” states Councilmember Diaz during last month’s town hall.
