Carroll Appointed Interim DC Police Chief

Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser appoints veteran officer Jeffery Carroll as interim police chief, following the resignation of previous leader Pamela Smith. Carroll, who has served the Metropolitan Police Department since 2002, takes over amidst a federal law enforcement surge initiated by President Trump, aiming to tackle crime rates. His appointment comes as the department faces scrutiny over crime statistics tracking and involvement in immigration enforcement, which has led to numerous arrests beyond typical criminal cases.
