Pirro highlighted that during president Joe Biden&#8217;s governance, 65 percent of arrests were not prosecuted. The investigation reviewed over 6,000 reports and more than 50 witnesses at various levels of the police department. Pirro contrasted this with her own office&#8217;s prosecution rate, which exceeds 90 percent.<\/p>\n<p>The proclamation challenges Democratic and media claims that crime rates had fallen following President Donald Trump&#8217;s deployment of the National Guard and federal takeover of the MPD in August. MPD data had reported a 35 percent drop in crime as 2024 but excluded certain assaults, while the FBI data suggested only a 10 percent decrease. Additionally, the Washington Police Union stated that officers were ordered to misreport crimes like robbery and burglary. Pirro emphasized that the investigation indicates Trump&#8217;s measures were more effective in reducing crime than initially reported.As the federal takeover, police have made over 3,500 arrests in Washington, D.C. The MPD has not responded to requests for comment.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., Jeanine Pirro detailed on Wednesday how the Metropolitan Police Department&nbsp;
