Community Safety Walks by the Metropolitan Policy Department (MPD)

ANC commissioners can arrange safety walks in the community by Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) commanders and other public safety agencies. Ward 5 Councilmember Zachary Parker and the NoMa Business Improvement District also host regular calls with MPD and other officials where members of the public can ask questions. Reach out to me for more information!

• August 2023: I participate in Councilmember Parker's Ward 5 safety forum.

• September 2023: I host an MPD public safety forum at the Gale.

• October 2023: I meet with MPD and crime victims from robberies and a shooting on Quincy Lane.

• March 2024: I attend a public safety forum hosted by the Mayor.

• February 2025: Public safety meet-and-greet with MPD on Quincy Lane.

• April 2025: ANC 5F hosts a public safety listening session at Harry Thomas Recreation Center. 

• May 2025: I share updates about increased robberies on the Metropolitan Branch Trail, and MPD stations a new bicycle-based unit on the MBT.

How can you help? If you would like a public safety walk with MPD and other agencies in your part of the neighborhood, reach out to your commissioner. If you would like to ask a question of MPD or other officials at the next Ward 5 Public Safety Forum or NoMa monthly public safety call, reach out and I can provide the participation information.
