Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser issued an executive order Tuesday directing local law enforcement to continue working indefinitely with federal authorities on public safety operations, a move that came just days before President Donald Trump’s 30-day federalization of the D.C. police is set to expire.

The order, first reported by the Washington Post, signals Bowser’s willingness to extend cooperation with Trump’s initiative to restore order in the capital city.

“D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) on Tuesday ordered indefinite coordination between the city and federal law enforcement officials, a powerful indication of her willingness to cooperate with President Donald Trump’s effort to take over public safety in the capital city,” the report stated.

Bowser’s executive order instructs city police to coordinate with federal agencies “to the maximum extent allowable by law within the District.”

The order did not include an expiration date.

By law, Trump’s authority to federalize the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department lasts for 30 days.

That authority is set to expire next week. Bowser’s announcement is likely to prevent a confrontation over how policing in the capital will be handled once Trump’s emergency authority lapses, since her directive ensures ongoing cooperation between local and federal officials.

The mayor’s decision comes after weeks of heightened federal involvement in D.C.

President Trump invoked his authority to take control of the city’s police force and deploy the National Guard in response to rising crime.

The move was followed by a visible increase in federal operations, including joint patrols, expanded surveillance, and stepped-up enforcement actions.

The initiative has been credited with helping stabilize public safety in Washington.

Bowser herself has acknowledged the success of Trump’s measures, even as she expressed reservations over certain enforcement tactics, such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids involving masked agents.

Her remarks acknowledging improvements in the city’s safety drew criticism from several members of the D.C. Council, some of whom objected to any appearance of support for Trump’s policies.

Despite that pushback, Bowser proceeded with her executive order, making coordination with federal authorities indefinite.

The order ensures that after Trump’s 30-day federalization ends, local police will still work directly with federal agencies including the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security.

It remains unclear whether the move will face resistance from the city council, which has often clashed with federal directives.

Bowser’s action places Washington in line with Trump’s broader public safety agenda, which includes extending federal resources to cities struggling with violent crime.

Chicago has already been put on notice, with federal officials indicating that additional personnel and resources will be deployed there in the near future.

The White House has not specified which other cities may face similar measures, but officials have emphasized that federal involvement will continue wherever local governments fail to address persistent crime problems.

For now, D.C. will continue under a structure of joint enforcement between federal and city authorities, with no set end date.

The decision underscores both the effectiveness of Trump’s intervention in the nation’s capital and Bowser’s acknowledgement that the cooperation has delivered results.
