Council members press administration on under-implementation of private-security camera rebate program
Summary
Council Member Charles Allen pressed committee leadership about why Secure DC changes expanding small-business eligibility for private-security camera rebates were not being implemented; Chair Brooke Pinto said the committee has urged the executive to act and suggested possibly relocating the program to another agency.
During committee debate, Council Member Charles Allen asked why the executive branch had not implemented changes to the Secure DC private-security camera rebate program that were passed by the Council to expand small-business eligibility. Allen said he was "shocked" the administration had not implemented the law and cited low issuance of vouchers and rebates as evidence of under-implementation.
Chair Brooke Pinto said she could not speak for the administration but confirmed the committee had repeatedly urged implementation. Pinto noted underutilization of the program and suggested that, if the Office of Victim Services and Justice Grants (OVSJG) continues to resist implementation, housing the program in a different agency might improve access for businesses.
