In July 2023, DC Police Chief Pamela Smith arrived on the job with 3,228 cops. Two-and-a-half years-later, she is resigning and @DCPoliceDept has only 3,064. The next chief must be committed to rebuilding MPD. DC should have at least 3,800 sworn officers. The optimal number is

Good morning DC Council. Teenage boy murdered in my neighborhood yesterday. I’m grateful for the MPD officers who responded to and are investigating the crime. Instead of defunding @DCPoliceDept , it would be a good idea to hire more officers. https://t.co/DC6XsdfF3j
