DC police chief used 'fear, intimidation, threats' to manipulate crime data

Washington, DC Police Chief Pamela Smith has been manipulating crime data "in order to maintain the appearance of low crime in the nation’s capital," according to a new report from the House Oversight Committee. The Committee said the revelations were found as the House GOP interviewed several Metropolitan Police Department commanders in the force following accusations that MPD had manipulated crime data. Smith announced her resignation on Dec. 8.

After there were reports of manipulation of crime data, the House Oversight Committee "conducted eight transcribed interviews with the seven acting—and one suspended—MPD commanders," which revealed that "there are clear pressures placed on MPD personnel to lower the classifications of crime to present to the public the perception of low crime in the District," according to the report.

"By pressuring her command staff to alter classifications for the sole purpose of artificially reducing crime numbers reported out to the public, Chief Smith incentivized the manipulation of crime numbers, which do not adequately account for the crime taking place in D.C.," the report read in part.

Why it matters for politics?

• DC crime is huge, Trump crackdown with National Guard is right

• Libs been denying it

• also, another example how DEI fails, even kills
