MPD conducts weekly Traffic Safety Compliance Checkpoints for safety and awareness in support of #VisionZero. Yesterday, on the 2700 blk of New York Ave NE, we issued 59 infractions & made 2 arrests to help keep our streets safe. 🚦#SaferRoads visionzero.dc.gov

Violent crime in DC is at its lowest level in 30 years. We had an unacceptable spike in 2023, so we changed our laws and strategies. Now, crime levels are not only down from 2023, but from before the pandemic. Our tactics are working, and we aren’t taking our foot off the gas.

Our DGS Grounds Team is hard at work keeping our community's parks and rec centers in top-notch condition. Their meticulous work contributes to safety, cleanliness, and a vibrant atmosphere that enhances all our green spaces across the District. #DGSMaintainsDC
