Supporting Police Officers and Protecting Our Communities

As crime continues to skyrocket in our nation’s capital, Democrats go after the police working to protect the community instead of the criminals.

The D.C. Council’s Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022 gives more power to anti-police activists, allows individual police officers to be targeted by protestors, and strips officers of collective bargaining rights regarding discipline. 

Under the D.C. Council’s emergency legislative powers, these harmful policies have been in place since 2020; meanwhile, D.C. police staffing has reached the half-century low as homicides rise.  
Now, the D.C. Council wants to make these failing policies permanent.

Rep. Andrew Clyde’s legislation, H.J. Res. 42, expresses Congressional disapproval of the D.C. Council’s harmful anti-police Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022, and prevents the Act from going into effect.

House Republicans will always stand with our men and women in uniform who risk their lives every day to keep our communities safe. Who will Democrats stand with: the police or the criminals?
