Bowser approves some DC Council regulations for federal law enforcement, but not all

Published



District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser weighed in on a pair of unanimously passed D.C. Council bills addressing federal law enforcement operations in the district, signing one bill and vetoing the other.

Bowser signed off on a bill that would mandate the release of body camera footage from “serious use of force” incidents involving both Metropolitan Police Department officers and federal law enforcement. However, she also vetoed a bill that would require the MPD to make a note if federal law enforcement is present at the scene of any arrest.
