Multiple High-Ranking DC Police Leaders Placed on Leave After Crime Stats Probe
The department said 13 officers were placed on leave after an internal probe found misclassified crimes and possible manipulation of citywide statistics.
- The Metropolitan Police Department issued termination notices to 14 high-ranking officials following an internal investigation into crime data manipulation, Interim Police Chief Jeffery Carroll confirmed.
- Allegations of systemic crime data manipulation emerged during former Chief Pamela Smith's tenure, as federal reports claimed MPD officials systematically downgraded crimes to artificially lower statistics.
- Investigations detailed how Second District Commander Tatjana Savoy directed captains to reclassify 390 thefts as misdemeanors, while Union President Gregg Pemberton alleged the culture left thousands of cases uninvestigated.
- Committee Chairman James Comer demanded all related documents, threatening compulsory process if MPD refuses, as officials facing discipline include Assistant Chief LaShay Makal and former Third District Commander Michael Pulliam.
- Restoring public confidence will be an "uphill battle," said former MPD Assistant Chief Joshua Ederheimer, who emphasized the department must replace removed staff with leaders demonstrating integrity.
