DC police chief retires after two years of leading force, with homicides on record pace, to join FBI

JTN:

D.C. Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee III is retiring after 33 years with the department to become an assistant director at the FBI.

His last day on the force will be June 3, he said Wednesday. 

“I want to congratulate Chief Contee on his retirement and thank him for his service to DC — for leading MPD with passion and purpose,” D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said. “He has pushed our criminal justice system to do more and be better.”

Contee was sworn in as chief at the start of January 2021, and crime has risen dramatically during that time. He took over just after the Jan. 6 Capitol riots. MORE

  2. @Tsquared — The article says he’s going to be an “assistant director” which is likely to be Senior Executive Service. I don’t think any age limits apply when you’re that deeply embedded in (and indebted to) TPTB.
