The District background

The District

Washington D.C. gets a new police chief in Jack Mannion, who sets out to revitalize the nation's capital by tackling crime and corruption.

Washington, D.C. has the highest crime rate in the US, with over 30 law-enforcement agencies, despite politics and indifference being major contributing factors. The city hires Jack Mannion, a former NYPD transit cop, as commissioner of the DC Police. Mannion claims he can significantly reduce crime rates, having previously achieved success in his previous role.
