County Executive Aisha Braveboy announced on Wednesday that Deputy Chief George Nader will become the new Prince George’s County Police Chief, replacing the current chief, Malik Aziz.
Nader oversaw the Metro Transit Police Department’s Bureau of Homeland Security and has over 25 years of law enforcement experience. He also served 20 years with the Prince George’s County Police Department.
The newly-appointed chief told news outlets he was ready to take on the position, acknowledging he had to get reacclimated to the region. He also announced that longtime PGPD veteran George Nichols would be his assistant chief.
“[C]oming back after nine years is going to take some time to assess and look and see where we’re at.
