D.C. police veteran Jeffery Carroll named interim chief after Chief Pamela Smith stepped down, amid federal policing surge and ongoing city challenges.
Jeffery Carroll, a veteran D.C. police officer since 2002, has been named interim chief of the Metropolitan Police Department following Chief Pamela Smith’s resignation.
Appointed by Mayor Muriel Bowser, Carroll will lead during a period of heightened federal law enforcement presence in the city, initiated by President Donald Trump in August to address crime.
His leadership comes after he gained public attention for leading press briefings following a November shooting near the White House, where a lone gunman attacked two National Guard soldiers.
The federal surge has drawn scrutiny over jurisdiction and civil liberties, while the department faces ongoing challenges with staffing, public trust, and crime reporting.
Carroll’s interim role ensures leadership continuity as the city navigates a complex mix of local and federal policing efforts.
