2. The Patrol Services and School Security Bureau (PSSSB) coordinates crime prevention and reduction efforts in the seven police districts and two divisions. In addition to providing professional and effective patrol services throughout the District, this bureau responds to calls for police service. The bureau also manages security in all District of Columbia public schools and provides targeted outreach and specialized response to historically underserved communities.

3. The Homeland Security Bureau (HSB) integrates intelligence and

operational functions to ensure that the District is well-protected and that the government prevents and is prepared to respond to threats and critical incidents. The four divisions support patrol operations in reducing crime and fear of crime by providing specialized patrol and tactical resources, improving information-sharing, processing relevant information, and providing actionable intelligence to authorized personnel.

4. The Corporate Support Bureau (CSB) oversees the major

administrative, technical, and business functions of the Department that are critical to keeping the complex and large agency running effectively and efficiently, including human resource management, facility and fleet management, equipment and supply, and evidence and property control.

5. The Strategic Services Bureau (SSB) integrates program and policy

development and strategic analysis and planning by identifying and implementing innovative policing and business practices. It is also responsible for recruiting and training to support MPD and the District by developing a well-trained and professional sworn and reserve police force.

6. The Investigative Services Bureau (ISB) works with the community

to solve crimes, bring offenders to justice, support the recovery of victims, and protect witnesses.

7. The Internal Affairs Bureau (IAB) acts as the guardian of MPD’s

reputation, and ensures MPD’s accountability through comprehensive investigations of alleged misconduct, uses of force, and equal employment opportunity (EEO) violations.

B. The eight attachments to this general orders show the breakdown of the

entire MPD.
