D.C. police call for ‘All Hands on Deck’

As part of the latest “All Hands on Deck” initiative, D.C. police on Monday were stopping every other car in the Trinidad neighborhood, checking for identification and passing out fliers seeking help in the fatal shooting of a 13-year-old.

The initiative, which sends nearly every uniformed police offi cer to patrol the streets over two days, coincides with the National Night Out. The event was designed for residents to learn more about the people who live on their own street and visit with law enforcement offi cials.
