Lanier boasts transparency but doesn't deliver data

Shortly after D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier boasted that her agency was “the most transparent police department in the country,” her spokeswoman said the report that purportedly supported the chief’s claim of transparency was not available.

Speaking on TBD TV’s “NewsTalk,” Lanier said the Metropolitan Police Department offers more information and detailed statistics than any other police department in the United States. As proof, she cited an FBI audit earlier this month of the department’s crime statistics that she said passed “with flying colors.”
