There is only one way to fix crime in DC. We must repeal the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Act.

On #VeteransDay2026 and every day, we salute every American who has taken an oath to defend our country, especially our @DCPoliceUnion veterans who have served our country and our city. Thank you.

Let's be clear: More police and more jail time have not and will never solve all our problems in the District.

Public safety starts with investing in our communities, and in solutions that address the root causes of public safety issues and stop crime before it happens.

With a heavy heart, the DC Police Union regrets to announce the passing of Investigator Apolinar D. Nunez, affectionately known as “Nuney.”

Nuney joined MPD on August 6, 2007, and most recently was assigned to the Violent Crime Suppression Division. A decorated Army combat veteran, devoted husband, and loving father to five daughters, he dedicated his life to serving others. His kindness, generosity, and friendship will never be forgotten.

Please keep his wife, daughters, loved ones, and fellow officers in your prayers during this heartbreaking time.

Rest peacefully brother. You will always be part of our Union family.

According to this study by Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland, “violence interruption” actually increased violence in DC.

For years D.C. has held out hope that violence interruption programs would meaningfully decrease shootings and killings. A recent study finds they may have done the opposite. Now the fate of the entire initiative is up in the air, reports @jennygathright: washingtonsun.com/metro/dc-viole…
