Washington, D.C., is seeing a sharp turnaround in public safety. The city’s federal crime operation has surpassed 1,000 arrests, while D.C. has gone 12 consecutive days without a homicide, according to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro.
On one notable day alone, authorities made 86 arrests and seized 10 illegal firearms, raising the total to 1,007 arrests and 111 weapons removed.
Pirro attributes the sustained drop in homicides to a strengthened federal presence and renewed coordination among law enforcement agencies in the nation’s capital.
