Every parent hopes it never happens.
To assist parents and guardians, the MPDC has posted an on-line guide to missing persons reports on the Department's Web site. It's been called the natural extension of community policing. Community prosecution is a program in which the U.S. Attorney's Office assigns prosecutors to work in each of the seven police districts in the District of Columbia, to work with PSA teams and residents in addressing crime problems. The public is invited to this free event honoring police officers, civilian employees and community members who have made a difference in fighting crime and strengthening neighborhoods.
