D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier has ordered all 3,800 officers on the city streets this weekend for another “All Hands on Deck” effort, but some officers are questioning whether the initiatives have become more public relations than policing.

The city has been rocked by 14 homicides in 11 days, the most since last summer, when the previous police chief declared a crime emergency after D.C. witnessed 13 killings in less than two weeks.
