DC Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) unveiled a new taxpayer-funded program that uses digital tracking tags to find stolen cars more easily. This comes as Bowser's failed progressive 'defund the police' policies have sparked a crime tsunami across the nation's capital.
On Wednesday morning, Bowser's office stated that tracking tags will be available to residents who live in areas with the "greatest increase in vehicle theft." MPD will install the device in vehicles, allowing them to track stolen cars via a mobile device easily.
Today, we announced a pilot program to provide DC residents with free digital tracking tags for their vehicles.
