-
"Dozens of D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department officers are reportedly voluntarily providing information to a Justice Department investigation amid allegations that supervisors intentionally reclassified serious crimes to present a rosier view of public safety."

According to The Washington Post, approximately three dozen current or former officers have forwarded complaints to investigators, saying supervisors downgraded violent offenses to less severe classifications. One internal tally obtained by The Post lists more than 150 instances since March 2024
One of the more contested classifications involves a charge created by the D.C. Council last year, “endangerment with a firearm.”...it is not included in the city’s violent crime statistics.

Committee report says, ya she did.
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.
