Personal Impact
D.C. Metropolitan Police Department officers are directly affected by the emergency declaration this bill would terminate. If enacted, it would end federal authority over their operations and return control to D.C.'s local government. This matters because the emergency declaration changed who gives orders to these officers and what missions they carry out.
“section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act does not empower the President to federalize the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), but rather limits the President to directing the Mayor to provide him with the use of MPD's services to carry out specific Federal purposes”
