Weren’t you a cheerleader for dismantling the police department just a few years ago by supporting anti police legislation?
Now you act like you care since you lost your council bid and the political climate changed. 🤡
Unfortunately, our current approach to hiring and retaining officers isn’t working. Reaching 4,000 would take at least a decade under ideal conditions.
The next Mayor needs to be in the weeds on retention and efficiency: modern scheduling systems, real-time manpower analysis…
There was a breath taking moment at the funeral for @DCPoliceDept Officer Terry Bennett when a woman speaking from a hospital bed came on the big screen in the church and told the mourners her life had been saved when she was given one of Bennett donated kidneys.
DC Police Union responds to reports from the DOJ and the House on their investigations into DC Police crime stats calling it “deliberate crime data manipulation” and calls for an internal affairs investigation of an Assistant Chief and an Executive Assistant Chief.
There is only one way to fix crime in DC. We must repeal the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Act.
An Op-Ed from @DCPoliceUnion
https://t.co/t6ix7eCb2H
DC crime since the announcement of federal control versus the 7 days prior:
Robbery ⬇️46%
ADW ⬇️6%
Carjacking ⬇️83%
Car Theft ⬇️21%
Violent Crime ⬇️22%
Property Crime ⬇️6%
All Crimes⬇️8%
While federal assistance gives us a boost, we must repeal the misguided Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Act in order to make these changes permanent.
@AFGE2725_NEWS@MarkusforDC That’s rich coming from a Union that can’t deliver raises to keep up with inflation. Keep on grifting and stealing dues from your hard working members.
⚠️THE CITY IS NOT SAFE: Charter School Chief Executive warns parents that “the city is not safe” and that “it’s clear that right now the city is in a crisis.” The same charter school has already lost three students to gun violence earlier in the year.
Children are our most precious commodity! It's SHAMEFUL that city officials are letting them be SLAUGHTERED.
Time to enforce the rule of law and end the failed, woke policies that are allowing criminal violence to spiral out of control.
#Breaking Man shot on the 1900 block of 16th St SE around 10pm. He was transported to the hospital and is unconscious and not breathing. Homicide has been called. #MPD
Here is a perfect example of how wildly incompetent @councilofdc is. This staffer makes $150,000 a year and has no idea how his boss’s 84 page, 26 subtitle bill affects policing. He just uses old tropes already proven false to further demonize cops.
DC has reached 111 homicides for 2023.
Homicide ⬆️14%
Sex Assault ⬆️32%
Carjacking ⬆️81%
Robbery ⬆️36%
Violent Crime ⬆️23%
All Crimes ⬆️29%
We are short more than 500 cops and the responsible policing that used to address this has been prohibited by misguided legislation
Mpd is looking for these suspects & vehicle. Around 11 am a pregnant woman & man were parked in a car at the 300 block of 37th St. SE when 2 suspects got out and shot into the victim’s vehicle with automatic weapons. The male who was shot in the shoulder then drove to Minnesota Ave outside of the McDonald's seeking help. The male and female were both transported. The young lady passed away and her beautiful baby survived. The male is expected to live.
#BREAKING: CRITICAL Double shooting: Minnesota Ave & Dix St N.E: Mpd is on the scene of a shooting with a pregnant woman being shot in the head and a male in his 20s shot in the shoulder.
Charges against the aggressor dropped..
The men & women of DCFD will continue to do their best to protect and serve the residents & visitors of the district dispite no support from @USAO_DC. Near daily occurrences of assaults against Firefighters.
@FeverPotomac@aSafeDC
It’s not surprising that a lackey of @ChmnMendelson likes to patronize victims of violent crime. But it is promising that he admits his policies are failures.
MPD is currently on the scene of a large black bear in a tree in the 1300 block of Franklin Street, NE. There are road closures in the area. Animal Care and Control is responding.
