has dropped from 26.97 crimes per 1,000
people to 22.72 crimes per 1,000. This is a

relationships between local police and the communities they serve. These protestssparked
nationwide discussions on law enforcement procedures and race relations. To address these
issues, President Barack Obama formed the Task Force on 21st Century Policing, which
underscoredtheneed forlawenforcementto strengthencommunitypolicingandtrust with
those they are sworn to protect. The final report of the Presidentstask force was published
recentlyandofferedrecommendationsandaseriesofactionitemsorganizedaroundsixtopical
pillars: building trust and legitimacy, policy and oversight, technology and social media,
communitypolicingandcrimereduction,officertrainingandeducation,andofficersafety and
wellness.

Trust between law enforcement and the people they protect and serve is essential to the
stability of our communities and the safe and effective delivery of policing services. Law
enforcement agencies in the metropolitan Washington region serve a large and diverse
population,andhavealreadybuiltmanygoodrelationshipsaroundthesepillarsandexperienced

Policing in the 21st Century

Police departments in the metropolitan region have been effective at responding to


trendsandaddressingoffensesthat havetraditionallybeen veryhighin thisarea,like
robbery and motor vehicle theft. In the District of Columbia, the Metropolitan Police
Department (MPD)hasbeen successfulin drivingseriousviolent crimedown overthe
last several years, due in part to the speciallytrained Nightlife Unit, which had a
substantial impact on robberies in all of MPDs districts. Despite an overall decline in
gunviolence,theDistrict,andmanyotherjurisdictionsexperienceda significantincrease
in family violence, including intimate partner violence, child abuse, andneglect. This
problem is often beyond the reach of the police department to prevent, rooted
indoors, in families that sometimes have histories of violence. Last year, the MPD
launchedtheYouthCreatingChange program,whichhelpsyoungadultsdevelopskills
and abilities in the areas of leadership, teamwork, and community development. This
program proactively engages youth known to face persistent violence in an effort to
preventfutureviolence.

In 2014, the Metro Transit Police Department implemented the Respect Your Ride
campaign,an educationand outreachprogramthat engaged youth inopen discussion
aboutappropriatebehavioronpublictransportationandhowtostaysafe.The program
was designed specifically to improve the safety and security of student riders and
minimizeyouthdisorderintheMetrosystem.Transitofficershaveattendednearly 100
school presentations, backtoschool nights, youth council meetings, and the Mayors
YouthTownHallintheDistrictofColumbia.

In 2014, after three consecutive years of increasing heroin overdoses, the Frederick
County Sheriffs Office met this health epidemic head on and became one of the first
local law enforcement agencies to provide naloxone (Narcan) training to its deputies.
Heroin and other drug addictions can drive up the number of crimes such as burglary
andtheft.Toaddresstheincreasingcrimeratesandoverdoses,andincoordinationwith

indicate a reduction in citizen complaints, resolving officerinvolved incidentsmore
expeditiously,increasedaccountabilityandtransparency,andidentifying andcorrecting

transparent to the public and have helped resolve questions following encounters
