With Pride celebrations, a march against gun violence, looming Supreme Court decisions, and a large outdoor music festival on the books, the next two weeks are set to be busy for D.C.

But on Friday, Mayor Muriel Bowser and D.C. Police Chief Contee offered only vague security plans, and instead emphasized that D.C. residents and visitors should “look out for [their] neighbors.”

“We’re not going to live in fear — we’re going to rely on each other, but also on our government, who has supported events and knows how to support large-scale events,” Bowser said during a largely celebratory press conference Friday morning, kicking off D.C.’s weekend of Pride events.

The annual Pride Parade — as well as a 10-hour-long block party — will be taking place on Saturday near Dupont and Logan Circle, as an estimated 50,000 people gather for the March for Our Lives rally on the National Mall around noon. Next Friday, the city is hosting the three-day-long Something in the Water music festival for the first time, and is expecting thousands of people to again descend on the National Mall. Meanwhile, protests and demonstrations are likely to pop up over the coming weeks, with the Supreme Court ruling on Roe v. Wade coming before the end of the month, and the House committee investigating the January 6th insurrection airing the first public trials of the inquiry thus far.

Speaking on Friday morning, Contee said the department has activated its civil disturbance unit through the end of next weekend, and will be “increasing [police] presence,” in both neighborhoods and downtown areas. And while he underscored his confidence in the city’s law enforcement agencies to handle a number of large-scale events, he urged residents repeatedly: “if you see something, say something.” Both he and Bowser stopped short of answering specific details about security plans.

“We have the number of officers that we have, but I officially deputize everybody that’s standing out here, everybody who’s going to be attending any of these events…if people see something we want them to say something,” Contee said.  “Public safety is the Metropolitan Police Department’s responsibility, but the reality is, it’s everybody’s responsibility.”

Bowser’s and Contee’s statements came after CNN reported earlier this week that the Capitol Police and other local law enforcement agencies were ramping up security ahead of the forthcoming Supreme Court decision on Roe v. Wade, March for Our Lives, and the public January 6th trials. In a statement to DCist/WAMU on Friday, a Capitol Police spokesperson said the department is “working closely with our partner law enforcement agencies in preparation for this weekend’s events as well as to prepare for any potential demonstrations in the area of the Supreme Court, including adding additional officers in the area.”

D.C.’s Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency director Chris Rodriguez also told CNN that the agency has reviewed threats almost daily, but did not give further specifics.

“The posts that concern us the most are the threats against individuals or specific places,” Rodriguez said.

The U.S. Attorney for D.C. Matthew M. Graves, and the assistant director in charge of the FBI Washington Field Office, Steven M. D’Antuono, also issued a statement denouncing any potential violence surrounding forthcoming Supreme Court rulings on Friday.

“We will not tolerate violence, destruction, interference with government functions, or trespassing on government property,” reads the joint statement.  We are committed to working closely with our local, state, and federal law enforcement partners to stop any individuals who intend to commit violence or criminal activity under the guise of carrying out a demonstration.”

Both Bowser and Contee could not provide rough crowd estimates for the events planned over the coming weeks, describing the situation as “wait and see”, but they said to expect to see large crowds, “period.” The city has not yet asked for additional assistance from law enforcement agencies in surrounding jurisdictions in Maryland and Virginia, but Contee said that they will be called upon as needed.
