August 10, 2009
Traffic Fatality on Kenilworth Avenue, NE
The Metropolitan Police Department is currently investigating a single vehicle traffic fatality which occurred in the 1300 block of Kenilworth Avenue, NE.
At approximately 5:53 pm on Saturday, August 8, 2009, an adult male was reportedly operating a 2001 Ford Mustang at a high rate of speed northbound in the 1300 block of Kenilworth Avenue, NE. At that time the operator reportedly lost control of the vehicle and struck a “Jersey barrier” before coming to a rest. During the course of this accident, an adult female who was the front seat passenger was partially ejected from the vehicle.
Personnel from the DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department responded to the scene, but were unable to find any signs from the woman consistent with life. She was subsequently pronounced dead on the scene by a representative from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for the District of Columbia.
The decedent in this case has been identified as 28-year-old Diona Shaunte Anthony of the 7000 block of Independence Street in Capitol Heights, Maryland.
A subsequent investigation led to the arrest of the operator of the vehicle who has been identified as 34-year-old Erik Anthony Bingham of Hyattsville, Maryland. Mr. Bingham is currently being charged with Driving under the Influence in connection with this case. He was transported to an area hospital for treatment of apparently non-life threatening injuries.
The circumstances surrounding this traffic fatality remain under investigation by members assigned to the department’s Major Crash Investigations Unit.

DDOT TRAFFIC CONTROL OFFICERS RECEIVE TRAINING
DDOT TRAFFIC CONTROL OFFICERS RECEIVE TRAINING
TO ISSUE TRAFFIC CITATIONS
The District Department of Transportation’s (DDOT) Traffic Control Officers (TCOs) have recently completed training allowing them to issue citations for traffic infractions. In response to legislation passed by City Council and introduced by Councilmember Jim Graham, DDOT’s TCOs are able to write tickets for traffic violations such as parking in a bus or loading zone, parking in a no standing zone or double parking.
DDOT TCOs are routinely deployed to some of the District’s busiest intersections to help facilitate traffic through morning and evening rush hours and as such are in a unique position to observe real-time violations by motorists and pedestrians. TCOs ensure the public right-of-way is kept safe for all modes of transportation including bicyclists and pedestrians and may also issue citations for blocking crosswalks and bike lanes as well as for distracted driving, illegal use of cell phones, etc.
The TCOs have received 40 hours of training from the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) on the regulations and procedures for issuing traffic citations. The DC Code gives the TCOs the authority to issue citations for parking infractions and minor moving violations, including:
• Parking in a bus or loading zone
• Parking in front of a designated entrance
• Expired tags
• No standing
• No parking anytime
• Double parking
• No parking during rush hour
• Expired inspection sticker
• No stopping
• No front or rear tag
Generally, TCOs cannot write tickets for criminal violations that are not subject to
administrative traffic adjudication at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

PRACTICE BURGLARY PREVENTION
SUMMER IS A GOOD TIME TO PRACTICE BURGLARY PREVENTION
With many of us enjoying outdoor activities this summer, the chances of getting
careless — and giving burglars an opportunity to strike — are, unfortunately, increased.
With the warm weather, both homeowners and apartment dwellers may be tempted to
leave their doors unlocked or their windows open. Common excuses are that they are
going outside for “only a few minutes” or they will “only be in the backyard.” But it only takes a few minutes for a burglar to enter a home through an unlocked door or an open window. Throughout the year, but especially during the summer, residents are reminded to have good locks installed on their doors — and to use them all the time, especially when they leave their homes. Ground-floor windows should be closed and locked when residents leave their homes, and window locks are recommended on all windows at all times.
In addition, homeowners should keep ladders secured — preferably in a locked garage — at all times. Some burglars have been known to use a resident’s ladder to enter
a second-story window. Most of all, residents are encouraged to look out for one another and call the police if they see anything suspicious.

D.C. APPROPRIATE SAFETY GEAR AND REGISTERING YOUR BIKE
PREPARE FOR YOUR SUMMER BICYCLE RIDES BY GETTING THE
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 bike registration has been the responsibility of the MPD in the past, bicycle
registration laws changed in the District of Columbia on June 1, 2008. Bicycle registration is no longer required in the District of Columbia. However, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) and the Metropolitan Police Department (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 in a national database by serial number. 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.

D.C. FIREARMS REGULATIONS CHANGES
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ANNOUNCES
FIREARMS REGULATIONS CHANGES
On June 17, 2009, the Metropolitan Police Department issued emergency and
proposed rulemaking expanding the types of handguns that can be legally registered
in the District of Columbia. The emergency and proposed regulations will allow a
greater variety of handguns to be registered in the District of Columbia. To protect
residents from unsafe handguns that are more prone to accidental discharge, lack
safety devices, and may be prone to firing when dropped, the Council of the District of Columbia identified the California Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale (also known as the California Roster of Handguns Determined Not to be Unsafe) as a source list for safer handguns. Handguns on the roster have passed firing, safety, and drop tests and are certified for sale in California by the California Department of Justice.
The Chief of Police is authorized to periodically revise, by rule, the roster of handguns permissible for sale. The regulations will establish a District Roster of Handguns Not Determined to be Unsafe that will include the California list and handguns that are on the safe gun rosters of Maryland and Massachusetts. These regulations will allow for handguns with superficial differences from handguns on the roster – such as color or grip material - to be registered. The regulations will also allow for handguns that are removed from the California list for administrative reasons to remain on the District list. The Chief will also be issuing new regulations shortly dealing with the registration of additional revolvers not yet included on the District’s Roster.
Since the Heller decision, about 50 applications to register handguns have been
denied. This may have been for a variety of reasons unrelated to the safe handgun list, including that the individual was not eligible to register a handgun. MPD is reviewing these applications to evaluate whether the handgun might be eligible for registration under these new regulations, and will follow up with the applicants. In the meantime, individuals whose applications were rejected because the handgun was not eligible to be registered are also welcome to contact MPD’s Firearms Registration Section.

OPERATION DRY WATER
AUTHORITIES TO INCREASE BOATING UNDER THE INFLUENCE
ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS DURING “OPERATION DRY WATER”
Boating Under the Influence is illegal – and dangerous. This weekend, June 26-28, 2009,the U.S. Coast Guard and other marine law enforcement will be cooperating on increased enforcement of Boating Under the Influence (BUI) laws. If you’re boating under the influence, boating enforcement authorities will find you. You may be arrested, fined, and may face jail, impoundment of your boat and loss of your boating and/or driving privileges. Don’t risk it.
Never boat under the influence.
Operation Dry Water is a coordinated, national weekend of BUI detection and enforcement aimed at reducing the number of alcohol-related accidents and fatalities and to foster a stronger and more visible deterrent to alcohol use on the water.
During Operation Dry Water, there will be an increase in the number of BUI checkpoints to collect and report BUI and safety compliance data. Curbing the number of alcohol-related accidents and fatalities is a key to achieving safer and more enjoyable recreational boating. In 2007, Coast Guard statistics indicate that 21% of all boating fatalities were a result of alcohol use. This continues an upward trend in the percentage of fatalities where alcohol was the primary cause of the accident.

JUNE IS INTERNET SAFETY MONTH
JUNE IS INTERNET SAFETY MONTH
Recognizing a need to “educate the people of the United States on the dangers of the
Internet and the importance of being safe and responsible online,” Congress designated June as National Internet Safety month. As Internet use in the United States continues to rise, so does the concern over Internet safety. Internet crimes — including cyber-stalking, cyber-bullying, child pornography, Internet fraud, and identity theft — are problems that Internet users now face. Fortunately, despite all of the opportunities for criminals to use the Internet to prey on
their victims, there are also many techniques and precautions that Internet users, children and adults, can take to avoid victimization and maintain privacy online. In recognition of National Internet Safety Month, the National Criminal Justice Reference Service has prepared a compilation of Internet safety resources.

Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier announced the District’s City-Wide All Hands on Deck (AHOD), which began at 6 am Friday, June 5 and will continue through 6 am on Sunday, June 7, 2009.
During AHOD, all available sworn MPD personnel will be on patrol throughout the District emphasizing community policing, focused law enforcement and community outreach. This will include increased foot beats, homicide detectives following up on their cases for new leads, and recruits passing out specific crime-related information.
The City-Wide AHOD features community-focused events on Saturday, June 6, 2009 where District agencies will be involved in neighborhood clean-ups and educational services.
During the Phase I of AHOD 2009, held in late April, MPD officers made 377 arrests, recovered six firearms, and seized more than $7,000 worth of drugs.
“Many District agencies are involved with this city-wide AHOD in our efforts to keep our neighborhoods safe,” Chief Lanier said. “That commitment shows the importance of this weekend focused on reducing crimes and bringing communities together.”
The Metropolitan Police Department offers a reward of up to $25,000 to anyone who provides information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for any unsolved homicide committed in the District of Columbia.
Residents are encouraged to attend tomorrow’s community service center events at Parkview Community Center (693 Otis Place, NW) and Benning Stoddert Community Center (100 Stoddert Place, SE) taking place from 10 am to 4 pm and volunteer in the clean-ups at these locations. Some of the services offered include job training and referrals, information about permanent supportive housing, substance abuse treatment and managing diabetes. In addition, volunteers are also needed to participate in the clean-ups taking place at Florida Avenue Park (1st and Florida Avenue, NW) and in the 4300-4400 blocks of Livingston Place, SE.

MPD Installs CCTV Camera
MPD Installs CCTV Camera at Kalorama Road and Champlain Street
Mayor Adrian M. Fenty and Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier, joined by Ward 1 Councilmember Jim Graham, announced the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) has installed a Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) camera at Kalorama Road and Champlain Street, NW.
The camera, which is among 75 neighborhood crime cameras in the District, was installed because of a number of violent crimes that have occurred in the area. The primary goal of the CCTV system is to enhance the safety and security of residents, workers and visitors in the District of Columbia, while vigorously respecting the privacy rights of individuals.
“Public safety has and continues to be a top priority for my Administration,” said Mayor Fenty. “This technology is instrumental to our work as we continue to fight crime, and make our neighborhoods safe.”
Kalorama Road and Champlain Street, a well-traveled area to and from Adams Morgan, was the location of a recent police involved shooting in which a suspect was fatally shot, and two police officers sustained gunshot wounds. The officers had been stationed in the area due to the propensity of crime.
“The CCTV cameras are an important law enforcement tool for deterring violent crime and reducing the fear of crime in neighborhoods,” said Chief Lanier. “We are using a multi-faceted approach to combat crime by increasing the number of foot patrols, targeting violent offenders, and continuing to share information with our community partners. As a result of our efforts, we are seeing an increase in citizens coming forward with information to assist us in closing cases.”
“I was delighted to work with the Mayor on facilitating the installation of the CCTV camera,” Councilmember Graham said. “It’s a solid step forward to ensuring the safety of the residents of Ward 1.”
