CRIME VICTIMS’ RIGHTS WEEK
APRIL 26 KICKS OFF CRIME VICTIMS’ RIGHTS WEEK
Each April since 1981, the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) has helped lead
communities throughout the country in their observances of National Crime Victims’
Rights Week (NCVRW). OVC assists and encourages communities throughout the
country to observe this special week through rallies, candlelight vigils, and numerous other commemorative activities that promote victims’ rights and honor crime victims and those who advocate on their behalf. This year’s theme is “25 Years of Rebuilding Lives:
Celebrating the Victims of Crime Act.” Rallies, candlelight vigils, and a host of
commemorative activities will be held to promote victims’ rights and to honor crime
victims and those who advocate on their behalf.
MPD members assist crime victims by providing them with information about their
rights and available programs and services that can help them cope with physical injury, emotional trauma, and economic loss. The Department’s Victim Specialists Unit (VSU)provides support, information, and referrals to victims and survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. The specialists in the unit act as a support system and conduit for victims/survivors, with hope of empowering victims. Moreover, the Victim Specialists Unit aims to enhance the quality of life for the citizens of the District of Columbia by establishing relationships with the community and being a resource for victims and their families.

SAFETY GEAR AND REGISTERING YOUR BIKE IN DC
APPROPRIATE SAFETY GEAR AND REGISTERING YOUR BIKE
According to the National Safe Kids Campaign, motor vehicle collisions account for
nearly 90 percent of all bicycle-related deaths. A collision with a motor vehicle increases the risk of death, severity of injury, and probability of head injury. Help protect your child against such accidents by making sure that he/she wears a helmet at all times while cycling.
The District of Columbia has bicycle helmet laws to protect cyclists under the age of 16, who enjoy the many streets and trails in and around the Nation’s Capital. Helmet laws are enforced for minors and encouraged for all adult cyclists, so please make sure you and your child wear a helmet at all times when riding a bike. In addition to mandating that riders under age 16 wear a helmet while riding a bicycle, the law also requires that children under the age of 16 wear a helmet when riding a scooter, skateboard, sled, coaster, toy vehicle, or any similar device.
While bicycle registration is no longer required in the District of Columbia, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) and the MPD strongly encourage residents to register their bicycles with the National Bicycle Registry (NBR). NBR is a service that allows you to register your bicycle by serial number in a national database. If your bike is ever stolen, it can be identified and you can prove ownership. Law enforcement anywhere can access this database. NBR also guarantees your registration. If your bike is stolen and not recovered by police within 6 months, NBR will register your next bike for free and the stolen bike
information will remain in the database until the bike is recovered no matter how long it takes.

LOOKOUT FOR CON ARTISTS
MPD WARNS RESIDENTS TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR CON ARTISTS
While spring means the blooming of the cherry blossoms and other plants, it can
also bring out con artists and other criminals seeking to profit from unsuspecting
victims. Some of the most common cons and swindles this time of year are bogus
home repair offers, fraudulent door-to-door charities, and individuals posing as
police officers or bank investigators who claim to be investigating fraudulent tellers
or counterfeit schemes. DC residents are urged to be wary of any “something-fornothing”
offers. Always ask for offers in writing, read over all contracts before you
sign, and never agree to “cash-only” deals. Do not hesitate to check the credentials
of anyone who comes to your door. Ask to see official identification and inspect it
carefully. Legitimate organizations – especially real police officers – will not hesitate
to comply. And if you have been victimized by a con artist, please call the police and
report it. This is the only way that law enforcement can detect patterns and identify
and apprehend offenders.

Metropolitan Police to Begin Anti-Littering Enforcement Efforts
Metropolitan Police to Begin Anti-Littering Enforcement Efforts
The Anti-Littering Amendment Act of 2008, which was passed by the Council of the District of Columbia in December 2008, went into effect at the end of March. The new law prohibits individuals from disposing, causing, or allowing the disposal of litter from a vehicle upon any public or private property. Litter includes all rubbish, waste matter, refuse, garbage, trash, debris, dead animals, or other discarded materials of every kind and description.
Starting April 10, 2009 (today), the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) will begin a 30-day warning period to alert motorists of the littering violation and associated fines. Following the warning period, police will begin issuing actual Notices of Infraction (NOIs) to motorists caught littering from their vehicles. The fine for a traffic littering violation is $100 per violation.
Litter poses health risks, harms water quality and wildlife habitat, and is an offense against communities. Neighborhoods with a lot of litter are at risk of more serious crime and disorder.
“Keeping streets and sidewalks clean also helps to keep our neighborhoods safe,” said Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier. “Police officers, with our round–the–clock presence on the streets of the District, can support the important mission of the Department of Public Works and the Mayor’s Office of the Clean City to keep our city clean.”

POLICE AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS HONORED
POLICE AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS HONORED DURING
MPD’S 9TH ANNUAL AWARDS CEREMONY
For the ninth year in a row, the Metropolitan Police Department is honoring outstanding police officers, civilian employees, agency partners and community members who have helped to make DC neighborhoods safer over the past year. More than 65 individuals and organizations were recognized during the MPD’s 9th Annual Awards Ceremony, held Tuesday evening, April 7, at the Town Hall Education, Arts, and Recreation Campus (THEARC), at 1901 Mississippi Avenue in Southeast DC.
Seventh District Officer Kevin Naus received the Officer of the Year Medal. Detective Anthony Greene, of the Criminal Investigations Division, received the Detective of the Year Medal.
Sergeant Terry Thorne, in PSA 504, was named Sergeant of the Year. The Lieutenant of the Year Award was presented to Lieutenant Ozetta Posey, who is responsible for Squad Two and Squad Five in the Homicide Branch. Captain David Taylor is recognized as Captain of the Year for his strong work ethic and commitment to excellence and creativity in assisting the Sixth District in reducing violent crimes and homicides. Lendia Johnson, the Community Outreach Coordinator in the Seventh District, was awarded the civilian Employee of the Year Medal for consistently providing outstanding services to the Seventh District and the citizens of Ward 8.
The Joseph Pozell Reserve Officer of the Year Medal was given to Reserve Sergeant Lavern Green, who volunteered over 1,500 hours in 2008, ranking her Number One in the
Fourth District Police Reserve Unit.
These seven individuals are just a few of the police officers, civilian employees and
residents who were honored. In 2007, Chief of Police Cathy L. Lanier implemented a
new approach to recognizing the Department’s sworn and civilian members. Many
members now receive their awards shortly after the commendable action. In 2008,
approximately 430 members received awards at one of her regularly-scheduled
crime briefings.
Other awards include the Bureau Employees of the Year, for members who
work within one of the MPD’s seven Bureaus and exhibit standout qualities of
leadership, work ethic and commitment to service; the District Manager of the
Year; Forensic Science Officer of the Year; District Officer of the Year; COP Special
Award – Police Medal. The Best Performing District was awarded to the First
Police District and PSA 501 was recognized as PSA of the Year.
The Chief of Police Special Award is presented to community members who
have excelled in supporting crime prevention and community policing, and the
Chief’s Medal of Merit is given to members of other agencies who have assisted
the MPD in significant operations.
In addition to the numerous awards presented on Tuesday night, the MPD
also acknowledged 15 sworn and civilian members who have dedicated over 40 years of service to the Metropolitan Police Department. Even after four decades with the department, they continue to make the Department proud.

D.C. Anti-Littering Enforcement Efforts
April 10, 2009
Metropolitan Police to Begin Anti-Littering Enforcement Efforts
The Anti-Littering Amendment Act of 2008, which was passed by the Council of the District of Columbia in December 2008, went into effect at the end of March. The new law prohibits individuals from disposing, causing, or allowing the disposal of litter from a vehicle upon any public or private property. Litter includes all rubbish, waste matter, refuse, garbage, trash, debris, dead animals, or other discarded materials of every kind and description.
Starting April 10, 2009 (today), the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) will begin a 30-day warning period to alert motorists of the littering violation and associated fines. Following the warning period, police will begin issuing actual Notices of Infraction (NOIs) to motorists caught littering from their vehicles. The fine for a traffic littering violation is $100 per violation.
Litter poses health risks, harms water quality and wildlife habitat, and is an offense against communities. Neighborhoods with a lot of litter are at risk of more serious crime and disorder.
“Keeping streets and sidewalks clean also helps to keep our neighborhoods safe,” said Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier. “Police officers, with our round–the–clock presence on the streets of the District, can support the important mission of the Department of Public Works and the Mayor’s Office of the Clean City to keep our city clean.”

Metropolitan Police and DEA Make Numerous Arrests Seize Thousands in Drugs
The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Washington Division Office and the US Attorney’s Office announced today the arrests of 20 suspects for the possession and distribution of narcotics.
The DEA Mobile Enforcement Team (MET), a joint operation of MPD and DEA, has been targeting violent drug related crime in Woodland Terrace since October 2008. MET has been targeting violent offenders who are trafficking in crack cocaine, heroin, PCP, and marijuana in this neighborhood. In addition, MET is dismantling the sources of supply who provide the drugs and guns to the violent drug crews. MPD and MET have executed 16 search warrants and made 20 arrests of suspects for numerous offenses, including distribution and possession of crack cocaine, heroin, PCP, and marijuana, and seized drugs with a street value in excess of $10,000.
Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier said residents in that community are and have been concerned about the daily operation of drugs. “Today is a good day for Woodland Terrace,” Chief Lanier said. “We want to bring peace back to our communities.”
“We are committed to keeping drugs off of our streets in the District and ensuring that our communities are safe,” Mayor Fenty said. “With today’s arrests at Woodland Terrace we are sending a strong message that we won’t tolerate drugs in our communities.”
The primary mission of MET is to disrupt and dismantle violent drug trafficking crews/organizations and their drug and gun sources of supply.
“DEA and the Metropolitan Police Department have once again combined forces to dismantle violent drug trafficking crews operating in Washington, DC. These arrests, drug and gun seizures, will ensure that the citizens of this community will not be plagued by this group of predators who had no regard for the safety of their neighbors or their quality of life,” said Ava Cooper-Davis, DEA Special Agent in Charge Washington Field Division.
“Today’s law enforcement actions will make Woodland Terrace a safer place for its residents and visitors,” said U.S. Attorney Jeffrey A. Taylor. “We must remain vigilant in our efforts to reduce and eliminate drug trafficking in our city.”

D.C. Public Safety Cross-Border Partnership
Mayor Fenty and Governor O’Malley Announce Continued Public Safety Cross-Border Partnership
Contact: Erica Stanley, 202-727-9226 (office)
Commitment to regular sessions enhances coordinated crime reduction efforts throughout region
WASHINGTON, DC - Mayor Adrian M. Fenty and Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley met today to discuss ongoing efforts to enhance cross-border coordination in improving public safety throughout the region. In addressing the media, the leaders announced the establishment of regular joint sessions that will focus on implementing regional commitments to public safety and other initiatives, and measuring the attainment of the regional goals through the District’s CapStat program and Maryland’s StateStat office. These regional public safety commitments include information sharing on high risk offenders, expediting the execution of warrants for individuals wanted by another jurisdiction, tracking progress on monitoring repeat violent offenders and other issues.
As a critical part of this effort, the District and Maryland have committed to revising laws that present obstacles to extraditing violent offenders who commit crimes in DC, but live in Maryland. The Mayor is committed to ensuring that the District be able to issue and serve arrest warrants to anyone with a violent history who commits a crime in DC, regardless of where they live. Current legal constraints deem some low-level offenses to be non-extraditable, meaning a cross-border warrant cannot be served, without taking into consideration the prior history of an individual.
“We welcome this great opportunity to partner with Maryland as we continue our work to ensure public safety for District residents,” said Mayor Fenty. “Working together to improve our information-sharing capabilities is a win-win for better law enforcement practices and for protecting citizens throughout our region.”
“Our most solemn obligation to our citizens is protecting the public safety, improving the quality of life for working families throughout our region,” said Governor O’Malley. “Crime does not stop at the border, and criminals know the shortcomings of law enforcement agencies that don’t talk to each other. These cross-border partnerships are built on effective principles that enhance public safety and stop violent offenders in their tracks.”
In September 2008, Mayor Fenty, Governor O’Malley and Virginia Governor Tim Kaine held a regional summit to discuss cross-border crime and techniques to reduce it. Regional leaders agreed to several, coordinated crime prevention efforts, including improved regional supervision of offenders through identification of the most violent area offenders, information-sharing between probation officers and local police departments, and containing violent offenders by assigning them to handpicked agents with lighter caseloads. This agreement effectively opened the borders between jurisdictions while providing essential tracking information of the activities of violent offenders in the area.
This regional collaboration, information-sharing and needs assessment is a first-in-the-nation for cross-border, regional cooperative efforts. The agreement also empowers public safety officials to not only share data, but also to hold violent offenders accountable for their actions. In 2008, the District and Maryland exchanged information on more than 1,500 adult offenders as part of an initiative to exchange live data.
Since the September summit, local and state law enforcement officials have facilitated bimonthly planning sessions with parole, probation and juvenile justice officials from the District, Maryland and Virginia to develop a regional crime prevention strategy and identify goals and deliverables. The Metropolitan Police Department has developed the Most Violent Person (MVP) List of offenders who have multiple violent offenses, at least one gun charge, and a history of parole or probation violations in order to focus law enforcement activities on the region’s most violent offenders. The region has also implemented a joint warrant task force, a collaboration between the local and state governments in the District and Maryland, as well as with the US Marshals Service. The task force works to apprehend dangerous fugitives across jurisdictions.

NATIONAL CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH in DC
MPD HIGHLIGHTS CHALLENGE 100 EVENT TO MARK
NATIONAL CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH
National statistics indicate that one in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually abused by the time they reach 18 years of age. The MPD and the District of Columbia have made a commitment to address and prevent child abuse in our community. Five indications of child abuse are: physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, and domestic violence. The MPD’s Youth Investigations Division, in conjunction with the DC Children’s Advocacy Center(Safe Shores), is challenging 100 concerned and responsible adults to learn how better to protect children by becoming Stewards of Children in April.
The Stewards of Children prevention curriculum, developed by Darkness to Light and first brought to the District of Columbia by Safe Shores, evidence-based adult-focused child sexual abuse prevention training program. It offers seven simple steps to protecting children from sexual abuse. Safe Shores will conduct four free prevention trainings. Individuals interested in increasing knowledge, improving attitudes and changing child-protective behaviors over the long term are encouraged to participate.
Child abuse does not have to be a problem within our community. Knowledge, recognition, and action can play a pivotal role in a child abuse victim’s life. If you or someone you know recognizes any form of child abuse, you can help. Here are some ways to respond to the situation – remain calm; place trust in the child; listen; commend the child for confiding in you; assure the child that the neglect is not their fault; take the child to a safe environment; and finally, contact the police or the Child and Family Services Agency at (202) 671-SAFE.

SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH
APRIL IS SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH
A sexual assault is about power, anger, and control. It is an act of violence and an attempt to degrade someone using sex as a weapon. Above all, sexual assault is a crime. These crimes are often committed again and again, until the assailants are caught. Sexual violence includes rape, sexual harassment, and incest. Making offensive jokes and comments, posting offensive images, grabbing or fondling someone, and stalking are examples of sexual violence.
The focus of Sexual Assault Awareness Month 2009 is respect. The “Respect Works” campaign is ultimately about moving beyond the victim- or perpetrator-focused view of sexual violence and focusing on the larger environment in which sexually violent acts happen. This includes relationships, organizations, and communities. Whether at home, work, or school, healthy relationships are based on consideration and respect. When we care about others and the world around us, we have a responsibility to be involved and help out when others are in harm’s way. This is the essence of
promoting social change that can result in less sexually violent behavior.
How does respect prevent sexual violence? Respect means treating people with consideration. This includes respecting their boundaries. Being aware of how we treat one another makes us less likely to hurt or offend someone. Stop sexual violence before it escalates–when you hear an offensive joke or comment. If you see someone in need, offer your help.In addition to encouraging people to treat each other with respect, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk of becoming a victim of sexual assault wherever you are. The MPD encourages individuals to always be alert by walking with confidence knowing who’s out there and what’s going on. Don’t let alcohol or other drugs cloud your judgment, and trust your instincts—if a situation or place makes you feel uncomfortable or uneasy, leave.
If you ever become a victim of a sex assault, remember, it is not your fault. Do not
accept blame. You are an innocent victim. Go to a hospital emergency room or your own
doctor for medical care immediately. Don’t be afraid to ask a friend or family member to go with you, or call a rape crisis center or school counselor. Preserve all physical evidence.
Don’t shower, bathe, change clothes, douche, or throw any clothing away until the police or counselor say it’s okay. Finally, call the police. The sooner you tell, the greater the chances the rapist will be caught. If you are uncomfortable calling the police, contact a rape crisis center
