Posts - Bill - HR 5143 District of Columbia Policing Protection Act of 2025
house 09/04/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to set clear safety standards for police chases in Washington, D.C., ensuring that officers only pursue suspects when the risk to the public is acceptable and when other methods are not more effective. We also want to explore ways to alert residents about ongoing pursuits to keep the community informed and safe.

Cut the bureaucratic drag, let officers chase down criminals before they vanish in traffic.

More oversight and tech alerts sound good, but will it actually slow the madness or just shift the chaos?
