Just how safe is DC? Crime figures from police show violent crime in down as much as 30-percent. Can the numbers be trusted? Two investigations, one by the Department of Justice and another by Congress, allege the Metropolitan Police Department manipulated crime data, cooking the books to make the city look safer than it really is. We’ll hear from a former DC police officer and a community activist on what this means for public trust, transparency, and safety in DC.

Guests:

Ron Moton – Community Activist and Author of the book “Don’t Mute Moe”

Ron Hampton – Retired DC Police Officer and a Law Enforcement Fellow at the
University of the District of Columbia’s Institute for Public Safety and Justice
