- 2025-09-18 — District of Columbia Policing Protection Act of 2025: Bill introduced (2025) would repeal DC’s 2022 vehicular-pursuit restrictions and instead generally require MPD officers to pursue fleeing motor-vehicle suspects unless the pursuit would be futile, pose unacceptable risk to bystanders, or be less effective than alternative apprehension methods; also directs DOJ to study public-alert technology for pursuits.
