Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser announced earlier this month that the MPD had lost 300 to 400 officers over the past three to four years. She lamented the fact that there were few officers in training and blamed"policies that make it difficult to recruit new officers." Former Police Chief Robert J. Contee III agrees — at a March 31 city council hearing, he gave a bleak report of the state of the MPD.
Bowser has said that she wants the MPD to have 4,000 officers by 2031. The MPD predicts that according to current trends, the department will have 3,279 sworn members at the end of fiscal 2023, and just 3,131 sworn members at the end of fiscal 2024. Conservatives have blamed left-wing policies for the decline of police forces across the country, arguing that a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion programs harms the integrity of the institution. Whether true or not, Contee lessened the blow of the MPD's dismal recruitment figures by touting the department's progress with DEI.
"Diversity, equity, and inclusion is not always recognized as a business imperative across organizations and agencies, but it is here at MPD," he said later."A strong DEI foundation can help to strengthen equity and cross-cultural understanding while combating discrimination. This, in turn, fosters a positive working environment that supports retention as well as recruitment.
