DC Police Reform Commission Report The Police Reform Commission was formed as part of the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Second Emergency Amendment Act of 2020. This Commission, comprised of 20 DC residents with
varied areas of relevant professional and personal experiences published a 259 page report in April 2021, that included 90 recommendations for de-centering police in an effort to improve overall public safety. The list of recommendations includes large, structural changes such as reducing the total responsibilities of the Metropolitan Police Department coupled with reallocating a portion of the MPD budget towards addressing pressing social issues as well as simpler suggestions like giving out citations in lieu of arrest for low-level offenses. Some of these recommendations have already been put into action via legislation and policy change while others are still under consideration.
