Mayor Muriel Bowser, standing side by side with law enforcement officials, will take the podium today to address the community on matters of public safety.

Smith, Deputy Mayor for Public Safety and Justice Lindsey Appiah, and DC Fire and EMS Chief John A.

Slated to begin at 11 am at the Public Safety Pier, located at 500 Water Street SW, a stone's throw from the Waterfront Metro Station, the update is expected to shed light on pressing issues facing the city's diverse tapestry of communities. The briefing holds significance as a public pledge—a ritual of reaffirming the local government's commitment to safeguarding its populace. Today's update was first reported by the mayor's office in a release.
