Maritas stated ” being a special police officer in Washington DC and throughout the Capital Region has many risks. These DC Special Police Officers face unknown terrorist attacks on any giving day both domestic and abroad” look what happened to Stephen T. Johns who worked at the Holocaust who was gunned down senselessly, I personally knew Big John, I want to his funeral, he was our shop steward for the union at the time [ Gunman opens fires in Holocaust Memorial Museum] our LEOSU-DC union members as well as the 17,000 special police officers in Washington DC are on the front line each and everyday protecting our Homeland Security, any new proposal or legislation enhancing the training standards for Washington DC Special Police Officers or security officers is a step in the right direction” noted Maritas
