Councilmembers Wells and Mendelson today introduced the resolution on the papering of arrests. I wrote about this issue in one of my posts a couple weeks ago. Note in the Examiner article following this entry that the US Attorney seems to have no interest in changing the system. I guess he does not care since he is not accountable to DC residents, only to President Bush. Kudos to Wells and Mendelson for pushing this issue!
Over the next few weeks/months, I am going to be visiting the Citizens Advisory Councils at each police district throughout the city to urge them to write the US Attorney, urging off-hour service for our officers. Our officers at MPD deserve it and our citizens deserve imporoved public safety.
From the Examiner:
Wells, Mendelson call for police booking reform
11 hrs ago - Two District of Columbia council members have called for the reform of the city’s costly police booking system, which requires officers to personally take arrest reports to court each morning after an arrest.
