The "Special Police Officer and Special Privates Rulemaking Approval Resolution of 2025" is a legislative proposal submitted by Mayor Muriel Bowser to the Council of the District of Columbia. This resolution seeks to amend Chapter 11 (Special Police) of Title 6-A (Police Personnel) of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations. The proposed amendments establish specific requirements for the appointment of special police officers and special privates, including age, citizenship, moral character, and approval by the Chief of Police. Additionally, the resolution clarifies the training requirements for special police officers, ensuring they complete pre-assignment, on-the-job, and in-service training programs.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of maintaining high standards for special police personnel, including a minimum age of 21, U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent residency, and a clean moral record. It also outlines the necessary training that special police officers must undergo, which includes topics such as arrest powers, emergency procedures, and customer service. The resolution has been reviewed and deemed legally sufficient by the Office of the Attorney General, and the Mayor urges the Council to act promptly in favor of its adoption.
