Bill overview
This bill, the Protecting Our Nation’s Capital Emergency Act of 2024, aims to address rising crime rates in Washington, D.C., by restoring collective bargaining rights for law enforcement officers and reinstating the statute of limitations for disciplinary actions against Metropolitan Police Department members and civilian employees. The legislation seeks to improve recruitment and retention within the department to combat the increase in crime. It effectively reverses some provisions of a previous policing reform law.
