District of Columbia Police Coordination Amendment Act of 2001

The District of Columbia Police Coordination Amendment Act of 2001 is an amendment to the National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act of 1997. It was enacted on January 8, 2002. This act was created to fund and increase coordination between law enforcement agencies in the Washington Metropolitan Area.

History
The District of Columbia Police Coordination Amendment Act of 2001 was introduced by Congresswoman Eleanor Norton on September 25, 2001. It was passed by the House of Representatives on September 25, 2001 and was passed by the Senate on December 11. The act was a response to the poor coordination between local, state and federal law enforcement agencies during the September 11 attacks.
