Reporter six hours in and testimony continues. Chief new ham now up speaking before several Council Members. 69 people signed up to give testimony, including three Public Offerings that interim police chief peter new chamas well as deputy mayor, kevin donohue. Hes deputy mayor of public safety. Now, the testimony was to address the state of affairs as it involves crime as well as the Selection Process for the new chief of police and today we learned that Selection Process for the new chief has actually come to a complete halt with absolutely no interviews taking place for the position. Office saying her priority right now is to pick a chancellor for d. C. Public schools before she makes that pick for d. C. Police chief. Now, upstairs, however, residents seemed more concerned with policing as well as interactions between the community and officers and you heard from them and there were very different opinions from residents living in the same ward, ward 8. Take a listen. We do not need more police. Community because im tired of them killing people and im tired of jump ping out of my car in front of them because of what theyre doing to the kids on my street. To say that we dont need no more police isolde russ to me. You understand in because if somebody break into my house, somebody breaking into my car, someone hit my child, someone even attempts to do some harm to think im going home . Ive been trained all my life with police. On your screen youre looking at the vice chair of the d. C. Police union who spoke before the committee and contends in order to curb crime the new chief will have to address the severe manpower crisis within the Police Department and the union contradict testimony interim newsham gave just daysing a saying the number of officers on newsham provided under oath before several Council Members was con so lighted and the union rep also saying these numbers are not what they seem. In his october 17 testimony the chief stated that mpd currently has a sworn strength of 3,729. However, in a story done by p fox5 he they stated that a simple query request shows that firearms. Number probably doesnt sound a drastic change to someone unfamiliar with manpower assigned t a Police Department. However, once you get these assignments down, the numbers become more worrisome. Today fox5 learned that more than a hundred people applied for that chief of Police Position including several members already within the department. Weve also learned that the Mayors Office saying that right now there is no timespan to begin the interview process. Live tonight property wilson building, marina maracco, local news. Hey, marina, we know that the search for a School Chancellor is important, obviously so is the search for a chief of police, has the Mayors Office or anybody in the city indicated why they cant do both at the same time. Reporter theres no official rule, tony, that would prevent the mayor picking from one, two, three different positions at the same time. So no, no one has indicated as to why she cant make this a. It testimony hes going to be in that position at least through the in augers. It seems like the Mayors Office wants to maintain someone at the helm through the rest of the year and through the inaugeration which is a pretty big deal because of all of the agencies that it entails. As to why she cant make two picks at the same time. Thats a yes we would have to ask the mayor. Shes not addressed that. Of course we heard about the issues from within the building vetting other positions including people who have been at the helm of very important departments like the department of of general services, many of people from within her cabinet have resigned in just recent days and weeks and shes going on two years. So still a lot of questions as to why she cant fill these positions quickly like weve seen in other major sit cities. Marina maracco reporting from the wilson building. Police in Fairfax County are a man says another driver targeted him this afternoon along the beltway. The window of his car was blown out. Baby was in the backseat. Fox5s Lauren Demarco was live in vienna with the latest. What happened. Reporter we spoke with that man. He was really shaken up. He described a traumatic 0 or 15 a minutes where he says the other driver was trying to run him off of the road. It all started on the inner loop of the belt kay Near National braddock road exit where the passenger side of the hyundai was shattered. He exited the beltway, headed into a gas station parking lot to call 911. He says that car, the other driver, followed him briefly, but then sped away. Now he told us in half spanish, half english that is daughter, a fivemonth old baby was in the backseat screaming and crying. He says while the other driver was weaving around him he tried that he had a child in the backseat trying to get him to stop. You told him you had a baby. Yes. And he he kept. Yes.

To avoid engaging with other drivers in those type of situations. He says that father and the baby are very fortunate that they werent hurt. This guy took appropriate action. I cant speak to his actions during the alleged, ongoing incident, but p my advice would be, especially with a child in the vehicle, pull over and disengage as quickly as you can. Speed is not going to help it. Youre not going to speed and get away, get to the shoulder while youre doing that if you got your cellphone dial 911 and just speed out of the whole equation and try to, you know, just minimize your emotions.
