Washington, D.C. — A coordinated multi-agency crackdown has taken to the streets of the nation’s capital under the banner Operation Making D.C. Safe & Beautiful, targeting crime hotspots and restoring public safety.
In just one night, law enforcement officers arrested 37 suspects, seized 11 illegal firearms, and issued four narcotic-related charges. Authorities say the operation brings together multiple agencies working in unison to address both violent crime and quality-of-life offenses, aiming to make neighborhoods safer for residents.
Officials have pledged to sustain the momentum, noting that removing weapons and drug offenders from the streets is critical to curbing violence. The initiative forms part of an ongoing series of high-visibility enforcement actions planned across the city.
Police urged the public to continue reporting suspicious activity and commended the cooperation between agencies that made the overnight results possible.
