Crime in Washington, D.C. has turned into a major issue that police recently held a special session for lawmakers on how to safeguard themselves.
An informal safety meeting was held in the U.S. Capitol’s Longworth Building on Monday where lawmakers and staffers were briefed on how to cope with D.C.’s rising crime rates. Attendees were advised by officers not to wear jewelry on public transportation and keep their phone calls brief while walking in order to minimize distractions.
