A new Justice Department task force will target crime in Washington over the next four months as the capital prepares for events tied to the U.S. semiquincentennial.
The crackdown is aimed at improving security in the nation’s capital before the July 4 celebration of 250 years since American independence and other major anniversary gatherings.
The report frames the security push against a broader season of national commemorations, including the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks later this year.
It casts the effort as part of a wider defense of public order and democratic freedoms during a high-profile period likely to draw heavy public attention to Washington.
