Plain-English Summary
The proposal would give Washington, D.C. more control over its own police department by reducing federal oversight and allowing local officials to make decisions about police operations, budgets, and policies. This change would affect D.C. residents and police officers by shifting power from Congress to the city's elected government, similar to how police departments operate in other U.S. cities. The measure reflects an ongoing debate about whether the nation's capital should have the same self-governing authority as other municipalities.
