Roughly 600 sworn officers.
Formally they are called the Metropolitan Police Department. Often this is shortened to Metro PD or Washington Metro PD. http://mpdc.dc.gov/mpdc/site/default.asp
A "Metro" or "Metropolitan" police department is usually one that works over several governmental boundaries or was formed from smaller agencies. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is an example of this. The department was formed from the former Las Vegas Police Department and Clark County Sheriff's Office.Added: Two other examples: The Metropolitan Police of The District of Columbia (MPDC) is the city police department of Washington, DC and when it was formed it took its name from the "Metropolitan Police" of London.In the same geographical area is: The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Police (commonly referred to as the "Metro Police" because the subway system in Washington DC and the Maryland and VIrginia suburbs is known as "The Metro"). Members of this department are certified and sworn as LEO's in all three jurisdictions.
There are five different police departments in Minneapolis. They are the University of Minnesota Police Department, Metro Transit Police, Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, Minneapolis Park Police and Minneapolis Police Department.
Law enforcement agencies will occasionally combine, usually as a way of saving money and reducing overhead. The Las Vegas Police and Clark County Sheriff's Office did this in the 1960s, becoming the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (known locally as Metro). This is an example of a merged department.

It is unknown WHICH "Metro Police Department" is being referred to, there are quite a few. However, a general answer to the question might be: The staff are assigned multiple duties commensurate with their areas of responsibility. OR, the department is under-manned and is stretching the job descriptions (which might normally be assigned to one person), so that one individual is actually assigned to try to cover the duties of several others.
