Her administration will focus on making D.C. safe and affordable, with priorities spanning housing, jobs, small business support, schools, transportation, utilities, and public safety.
The Mayor's Office oversees the Executive Branch of District government and works closely with agencies to deliver on these commitments. Her leadership team will
• share JLGʼs commitment to building a District government that works for all eight wards;
• have diverse lived and professional experience;
• understand the demands of public service.
The team will be strategic, disciplined, solution-oriented, and relentless in the pursuit of dignity for all.
ABOUT THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
Washington, D.C., is more than the nation's capital. It is rich in local history, culture, and community, shaped by generations who have made the District one of the nation's most distinctive cities. Home to approximately 700,000 residents across eight wards, D.C. is known for its vibrant neighborhoods, historic institutions, and strong sense of civic pride. As the seat of the federal government, Washington also welcomes millions of visitors annually and serves as a national stage for historic events, demonstrations, celebrations, and international gatherings.
Situated at the heart of the Washington metropolitan region, commonly known as the DMV (D.C., Maryland, and Virginia), the District is part of a diverse and interconnected region of approximately 6.5 million people. Its economy extends well beyond the federal government, with higher education, health care, nonprofits, technology, and media contributing to the region's vitality. Extensive transportation networks, daily commuters, and close relationships with neighboring jurisdictions create a dynamic environment with distinct public safety responsibilities.
Life in the District offers a unique blend of neighborhood character, cultural experiences, and urban amenities. From the historic communities east of the Anacostia River to Georgetown looking west over the Potomac and everything in between, D.C.'s neighborhoods offer an extraordinary mix of restaurants, music, arts, and local traditions. The National Mall tells the nation's story through landmarks such as the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial, while the White House and U.S. Capitol stand at the center of American government. The Smithsonian museums bring generations of history, culture, and achievement to life, while professional teams in every league give sports fans plenty of reasons to celebrate. Beyond these iconic attractions, the District's parks, waterfronts, trails, and neighborhood green spaces offer year-round opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
What truly distinguishes Washington is its people, whose neighborhood pride, civic engagement, and deep community connections continue to shape the District's identity and future. Preserving that character while advancing public safety requires leadership that understands the unique needs of its communities, values the trust of its residents, and recognizes the extraordinary responsibility of serving the nation's capital.
ABOUT THE OFFICE & ROLE
The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) protects and serves District residents and visitors through patrol, criminal investigations, emergency response, and specialized public safety operations. Its responsibilities span seven police districts and include support for major events, protection of constitutional rights, and coordination with regional and federal law enforcement partners. The departmentʼs FY 2026 approved operating budget was approximately $599.1 million, with 4,920 budgeted full time–equivalent positions across sworn and professional functions.

Overview of Chico State’s University Police Department
Chico State’s UPD has primary law enforcement jurisdiction over all criminal incidents occurring on campus. UPD’s responsibilities include incident investigation, follow-up, and resolution. UPD is a full-service state police agency staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by sworn state police officers and state-certified public safety dispatchers. Police officers and dispatchers meet all certification and training requirements as mandated by the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training.
UPD is primarily tasked with enforcing campus regulations and state laws (including underage drinking laws) on property owned or controlled by Chico State; however, their patrol jurisdiction includes areas within the City of Chico within a one-mile radius of the campus. UPD also patrols University Farm. The department works in conjunction with outside agencies, such as the Butte County Sheriff’s Office, the City of Chico Police Department, and local fire and emergency medical services.
UPD has a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Chico Police Department that allows UPD officers to exercise peace officer powers within a one-mile radius of campus—largely student neighborhoods. The MOU also ensures mutual law-enforcement support in the event of a critical incident, such as an active shooter or other significant safety threat.
For non-emergency situations, UPD turns to the California State University Critical Response Unit (CRU) for support in keeping the Chico State community safe. CRU is a highly trained unit of police officers from across the CSU system who are well-versed in the nuances and special needs of the academic communities they serve. In recent years, CRU has assisted during specific incidents, including the Camp Fire, as well as major holidays, such as Halloween and Labor Day.

In the latest Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, Temple is in the “highest research activity” category, or R1. It has also been designated a top opportunity college and university, one of just 21 institutions nationwide to earn both. In 2025, Temple was invited to join the University Innovation Alliance, a leading national consortium of public research universities committed to improving student success and broadening participation in higher education for all. Temple is the only Pennsylvania university represented in the alliance.
The university’s momentum can also be seen through the recent launch of its strategic plan, Forward with Purpose. Organized around three priorities—Student Success, Research in Action and Place-based Impact, the plan has been designed to serve as the university’s compass through 2034, which coincides with the 150th anniversary of the institution.
Included as part of the strategic plan is an ambitious campus development plan, Building Connections, which helps envision the physical environment that will support Forward with Purpose. The implementation of both plans is already well underway, and progress can be seen across all three of the strategic plan’s priorities.
In April 2026, Temple announced that a historic gift from alum Jane Creamer Sullivan, KLN ’70, will lead to the creation of the Jane Creamer Sullivan and Thomas J. Sullivan Honors College. The new honors college will begin enrolling students in fall 2027, and it will position Temple as a national leader in honors education as will be defined by qualities that are distinctly Temple.
In support of its priority of Place-based Impact, the university has also recently launched a phased, multiyear staffing plan that will incrementally increase the number of sworn police officers within its Department of Public Safety. The recruitment efforts are aimed at helping to spur economic growth along the North Broad Street and help support the development of a multidimensional innovation corridor that travels from Temple’s Health Sciences Center to Main Campus, and then south to the Avenue of the Arts.
Temple is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. In 2020, during its most recent reaccreditation, reviewers commended the university for its distinctive mission, which is widely valued and deeply internalized across the institution.
Founded by Russell H. Conwell in 1884, Temple’s official motto – Perseverantia Vincit, or Perseverance Conquers – reflects its students’ drive to succeed and ability to turn opportunities into accomplishments. Conwell’s purpose was “to give education to those who were unable to get it through the usual channels.” In Temple’s earliest incarnation, working-class citizens were taught late in the evening, and referred to as “night owls,” giving rise to the school’s mascot and team name.
In 1965, the university became a member of the Commonwealth System of Higher Education; it is one of four state-related, comprehensive research universities in Pennsylvania. In addition to its Main Campus in North Philadelphia, Temple has three additional locations in Philadelphia: Temple University Center City, which will be relocating to Terra Hall along the Avenue of the Arts on South Broad Street in Fall 2027; the Health Sciences Center, also in North Philadelphia; and the School of Podiatric Medicine near Philadelphia’s historic district. Regional campuses are located in Ambler and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, with international campuses in Rome and Japan.

Institutional Leadership
John Fry - President
John Fry took office as the 15th president of Temple University on November 1, 2024, having established a reputation as both a civic leader in Philadelphia and a national leader in higher education.
The university has achieved several significant milestones under his leadership. In February 2025, Temple launched Temple Future Scholars, a college pipeline program that supports low-income, first-generation–to-college students in Philadelphia public middle schools.
The university also acquired Terra Hall, the former main academic building for the University of the Arts. With this acquisition, Temple has a prominent and permanent presence in the heart of Philadelphia, as the building will be the home for Temple’s Center City campus. In March 2025, Temple joined the distinguished University Innovation Alliance (UIA) as its Pennsylvania institution. The UIA is a leading national coalition of public research universities committed to increasing the number of college graduates in the United States, and Temple is one of just 18 universities who have joined the prestigious organization.
Prior to his arrival at Temple, President Fry served as president of Drexel University from 2010 to 2024, where he elevated the university’s global presence through academic and research partnerships, major NIH and NSF research programs, as well as hubs for innovation and collaboration. Under his leadership, Drexel set a national example for the successful execution of public-private partnerships and became a powerful force for economic development in the Greater Philadelphia region. He championed major neighborhood revitalization initiatives, including the creation of a multifaceted university extension center in Mantua—the Dornsife Center for Neighborhood Partnerships—extensive economic development efforts, and significant partnerships to support local neighborhood public schools.

-Columbia Public Safety relies on a strong and collaborative relationship with the New York City Police Department.
