Description

DC Police and UDC partner to offer recruits college credits, aiming to boost police force numbers amid staffing shortages. Recruits can earn up to 20 credits during training, easing the path to meeting the 60-credit requirement for full officers. This initiative, tied to the Peace DC Omnibus Emergency Amendment Act, is part of a broader strategy including increased pay, hiring bonuses, and expanded vehicle programs to attract more recruits and address public safety needs.
