Partnerships make a difference. Recognition makes it worth celebrating. DPW’s Rodent Control Unit (RCU) investigators received special recognition from the 3rd District Citizens Advisory Council (3D CAC) for their ongoing collaboration with the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). We’re proud to see RCU recognized for the work that happens when DPW and MPD work together with the community. Here’s to strong partnerships, shared purpose, and the work ahead. Congratulations to our RCU team!
