The police are just the first step in the process. Are people unaware that the federally appointed USAO Matt Graves declines to prosecute 67% of adult (and some juv) arrests, including felonies and gun crimes and elected AG Schwab does only slightly more prosecuting of juveniles? Both will be there and should feel pressure from the public re: safety. Graves can boost the numbers when he is under Congressional pressure or media scrutiny, then they drop again.

Prior to 2017, across USAOs appointed by Ds and Rs, the prosecution rate was in the 70s and the community was much safer. Now that stat has almost been flipped. We can see the result of 2/3 of arrests of adults NOT being prosecuted. 1,000 warrants for failure to appear or being non-compliant with terms of release have not been served, if federal marshals picked up those people, crime would plummet.

Frumin has little to do with the prosecution process or with much of the work of MPD. [/quote]

Those are amazing statistics. Why does Graves decline to prosecute? Has he said why?

I've seen a lot of media attention focused on DC crime lately -- do reporters not follow up with Graves to see what happened?

Is Frumin calling out Graves for this?[/quote]
