“Correction: juvenile curfew enforcement applies to anyone under the age of 17.”
From the Mayor’s Office:
“Juvenile curfew enforcement will focus on 7 key areas. Youth will be brought to Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS), where the agency will connect with the youth and their families to proactively engage them and offer rehabilitative services and supports.”
“Public safety is our #1 priority, and it requires a whole-of-government approach.
We will continue to double down on programs that we know work, and we remain focused on coming up with new and innovative ways to help our communities feel safer.
Here’s what’s next.
We know that good video evidence is key to closing cases and increasing accountability.
We will be adding 50 CCTV cameras throughout the city, and we are committed to doubling the number of cameras over the next 2 years.
We are proud of the @DCPoliceDept, and we continue to focus on our recruitment efforts.
We will provide additional resources to the MPD recruitment team – and that means increasing referral bonuses.”
