Prince George’s County Executive Aisha Braveboy confirmed three public safety leaders during a swearing in ceremony Tuesday evening after they were approved by the county council.

Soon after being elected in June, Braveboy appointed eight people to lead key county offices, including Prince George’s County police, fire and homeland security departments.

Here’s a look at the public safety officials part of Braveboy’s administration.

George Nader – police chief

Since beginning his work as acting police chief in June, Nader contributed to a 34 percent reduction in homicides and more than 56 percent reduction car jackings, Braveboy said earlier this month.

Nader has worked in law enforcement for 32 years, previously serving as the assistant police chief for the Metro Transit Police Department. He also worked in the Prince George’s County Police Department for more than two decades, where he held multiple high ranking positions.

As police chief, Nader aims to improve staffing, youth engagement and collaboration with local police departments in the county.

“My biggest goal is to provide the best public safety service we can and that’s through partnership,” Nader said.

Thelmetria Michaelides – fire chief

Michaelides, who is the first African American female bomb technician in the state, was confirmed to be the county’s fire chief.

She began working in the Prince George’s County Fire Department as a dispatcher in 1987 and served in multiple EMT and paramedic roles before retiring in 2013. She also served as Braveboy’s community affairs director while she was state’s attorney.

“I have done all these jobs in the fire services and I’ve done that because I wanted to prove myself, not only to me but to others,” Michaelides told The Diamondback.

Michaelides said that she hopes to encourage more young people to become involved in the fire department. She also said she hopes to address the mental health needs of the department’s staff.

Katina Gomez – Director of homeland security

Gomez is Prince George’s County’s director of homeland security, which serves as the “information hub” during emergency situations, she told The Diamondback.

Most recently, Gomez served as a deputy chief in the Prince George’s County Police Department, where she was the highest ranking female officer.

Gomez said she hopes to improve salaries for 911 dispatchers, as they are considered some of the lowest paid in the state. She also said she wants to improve the department’s communication with residents and local first response services.

“We all take these careers to serve and I’m all about service,” Gomez said. “So my biggest message to the residents…[is] what can we do to better serve you?”
