Reply to comment by Loki-Don in Chief: DC Police Staffing at Its Lowest in Decades by thinkcontext

It's kind of amazing how for example I see Park Police, Secret Service and other agencies pulling cars over for traffic violations than I do MPD. And it's not like MPD isn't there, the violations happen right in front of their cruisers but they just sit there and do nothing.

It’s amazing that those agencies have literally nothing else to do but traffic. A park, capitol, or secret service officer will very regularly go an entire shift without one call for service.

Those agencies don't have to respond to 911 calls for service.

Uhhh right. So it's fine for MPD to sit around ignoring crime in front of their face all day long just because they *might* get a 911 call. And let's face it, they try not to respond to a big chunk of the 911 calls they get, either.
