Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser convened a call of Administration officials and federal partners - including Acting US Attorney Vincent Cohen and US Parole Commissioner Patricia Smoot - to discuss efforts to combat the recent uptick in violent crime in the District. Participants discussed immediate ways their agencies can coordinate more closely to combat violent crime. Early next week, the Mayor will convene an expanded meeting to discuss further coordination and policy solutions to make our neighborhoods safer.
