Males were the subject of 85 percent reported uses of force and females, 15 percent.

I’ve been assaulted and harassed by DC MPD on 5 occasions since 2017 and charged with assaulting police officers in 3 of the five occasions. Not one officer was punished to my knowledge. the last time i aws assaulted by police officers was 1.26.21. Ofc Nickerson and 8 other officers unlawfully entered private property without a valid warrant and upon refusing repeatedly to show their warrant, these cops, unlawfully and forcibly entered my residence and attacked, tasered, and arrested me naked and wet in my bath towel. why are these officers not under arrest following the submission of 47 pages of evidences of their crimes?


body cameras were worn but none of the officers have been prosecuted. this is a violation of the fourthr tammendment, 14th ammendment and USC Title 18 section 242 deprivation of rights under color of law. why are these officers permitted to continue to serve the public when they continue this violence against citizens?

Why should the MPD be expanded, as the acting Chief has proposed, to be reading just in case there is another Republican riot at the Capitol? This reeks of using a one off event that was the responsibility of our federal government as a scare tactic to boost MPD numbers. Note that I am proud of the MPD actions to pull the fed’s chestnuts out of the fire, and I am a strong advocate of having a visible police presence on the streets (especially in high crime areas and out of their cars), so I’m not a defunding advocate. But I am for demilitarizing the police, defining their mission as protective rather than aggressive, and building other specialized response options for mental health, domestic disputes and traffic control incidents.

What will the committee be doing about the increase in violent crimes? There are major safety issues occurring within the Kingman park area. Police are nowhere to be found. There are drag races, drive-by shootings and I have witnessed a mother needing to run with her children. We need help, we should not be living in fear.

When will DC MPD begin hiring I’m a DC resident and would like to join and make a difference in my community. I was told its a hiring freeze I just wanted to know when would they hold another academy because officers are needed and DC MPD is a great agency that loves the community.
