The upper parts of Connecticut have no effective police coverage (the police station is in glover park while Maryland covers their fire/ems) and have been hit by waves of car break ins and carjackings.  Yet silence. [/quote]

The police station is in Cathedral Heights/McLean Gardens (3320 Idaho Ave NW), not Glover Park.  DC and Maryland severed their automatic aid agreement.

DC Fire/EMS currently only has a mutual aid agreement with Montgomery County.  Mutual aid is where the jurisdictions agree to receive and provide assets on a per-request basis.  Automatic aid is where jurisdictions have assets built into their response plans without needing to request and grant permission.  Automatic aid agreements are fairly common along state and county borders.  My understanding is that the District is wary of the cost of automatic aid and has thus been reluctant to enter into automatic aid agreements.  Automatic aid would speed up response time along our borders with Maryland, though the first responders may not necessarily be from DC.  [/quote]
