The Trump administration is intensifying its push to combat high levels of crime in the nation’s capital, revealing on Oct. 30 a new recruitment campaign soliciting elite federal officers for the streets of Washington, D.C.

The administration unveiled an online portal, at SafeDC.gov, to enlist experienced law enforcement personnel for deployment in Washington, to address vacancies in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the U.S. Park Police. Assignments in the District of Columbia will last up to 12 months, according to the portal.
