CANCELLED- Violence Fatality Review Committee

In response to COVID-19, the Council of the District of Columbia passed the COVID-19 Response Emergency Amendment Act of 2020 suspending all board and commission meetings during the time of a public health emergency, unless otherwise deemed urgent or as directed by the Mayor. As such, the scheduled April 9, 2020 Violence Fatality Review Committee meeting has been cancelled. 

Violence Fatality  Review Committee (VFRC) meetings are closed to the public when discussing cases of homicide and suicide related deaths pursuant to D.C. Official Code § 2-575(b)(1) and 5-1431.05.  It is for this reason detailed meeting minutes and recordings are not attached or made public. However, detailed meeting minutes and recordings of the public portion of the meeting will be provided in accordance with the Open Meetings Act. The Committee welcomes public comments and questions and reserves time at the start of each meeting for public engagement. If interested in attending the open portion of the meeting, please contact Jenna Beebe-Aryee, Supervisory Program Manager at jenna.beebe-aryee@dc.gov to be added to the agenda.
