New Police Service Area Boundaries Now in Effect

New Police Service Area (PSA) boundaries, announced last summer as part of a plan by the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), went into effect January 1 in an effort to improve the delivery of police services in the District. These changes bring the total number of PSAs in the District from 46 to 56 and affect many Ward 2 PSA boundaries.

MPD began the realignment process to more equally divide the workload between the seven police districts in the city, as many PSAs were experiencing an unequal share of crime and handling a disproportionate number of calls for service.

“Although the process was not perfect and many in the community are unhappy with the updated PSA boundaries, we should all be prepared to support Chief Lanier and MPD moving forward,” Evans said.
