💨 Abstract

The police in Washington DC reversed their decision to close the historic Dupont Circle Park during the Pride weekend. Chief Pamela Smith rescinded the closure request after community feedback, emphasizing the park's importance for Pride celebrations. The police are ready to support the National Park Service during World Pride events. The park was initially planned to be closed due to past incidents of vandalism and disorderly behavior. Community leaders and officials confirmed the park will remain open, urging respect and safety.
