The center coordinates with agencies including the FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Park Police and Secret Service, while pressing officers to follow standard policing practices such as visible IDs. Trump praised the initiative as a “template,” citing drops in crime, but Bowser warned masked agents had damaged trust. The order gave no end date, underscoring ongoing tensions over federal power in the District.
