B 26-0618 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Full Accountability in Arrest Reporting Amendment Act of 2026

This bill requires Metropolitan Police Department officers to document the names, badge numbers, and employing agencies of all law enforcement officers present at an arrest scene, along with details about any force used and whether any officers declined to identify themselves. It also mandates that the Mayor publicly release body camera footage and incident descriptions within five business days when federal law enforcement officers use serious force in the presence of DC police officers. The legislation applies specifically to arrests and use-of-force incidents involving DC police and federal officers, ensuring greater transparency in how these events are documented and reported.
