Muriel Bowser: “The difference between this 20-day period of this federal surge and last year represents a 87% reduction in carjackings.”

We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what MPD has been able to do in this city.

What I’m focused on is the federal surge and how to make the most of the additional officer support that we have.

any comparison to a war-torn country is hyperbolic and false

... the difference between this … 20-day period of this federal surge and last year represents an 87% reduction in carjackings in Washington, DC … this surge has been important to us for that reason.
