The Multiagency Public Safety Taskforce supports various neighborhoods on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons by bringing together District agencies and our federal supervisory partners to address a host of concerns from illegal dumping to abandoned vehicles and more.  

Staffed by more than a dozen District agencies, the Taskforce is a shining example of a whole-of-government approach and strategic deployment of personnel and resources in neighborhoods. 

The Multiagency Public Safety Taskforce is a force multiplier for MPD’s Targeted Homicide Reduction Partnership Plan, Operation THRIVE (“Targeted Homicide Reduction through Intervention and Violence Elimination”). Operation THRIVE is focused on reducing homicides by coordinating resources in areas most impacted by homicide to protect life and stabilize neighborhoods historically plagued by violence. 

DMPSJ established the Multiagency Public Safety Taskforce in Fiscal Year 2023 to make the city safer by coordinating interagency initiatives focused on reducing crime and increasing presence in our neighborhoods. This Taskforce not only helps residents be safe, but also feel safe.
