From the Mayor’s Office:
“Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser announced the Addressing Crime Trends Now Act (ACT Now), new legislation that will address recent public safety challenges by giving law enforcement more tools to hold criminals accountable and keep neighborhoods safe. By adding more tools while also amending provisions of the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Amendment Act, the legislation will also help create an environment that better supports communities and victims as well as the Metropolitan Police Department’s (MPD) ability to hire and retain highly qualified officers.
