© Getty Images The D.C. Police Reform Commission released a 259-page report with dozens of recommendations on Thursday, including educing the size of the city s Metropolitan Police Department.  The group recommended that a congressional mandate that requires the city s police department have at least 3,000 officers be done away with. Decentering police requires shifting our collective focus and resources to invest far more in community-centered programs that prevent harm, while simultaneously realigning and reducing the size, responsibilities, and budget of MPD in line with a narrower scope of work for police, the commission wrote in its recommendation. ADVERTISEMENT This shift must occur strategically: a smaller MPD does not guarantee a more community-responsive, less harmful, and ultimately more effective department, it wrote.
