The D.C. police commander reassigned for making racially sensitive remarks after a meeting over a Georgetown murder has been reinstated as head of the second district and will create a lesson plan for recruits based on the Oscar-winning movie “Crash.” Police Chief Charles Ramsey told Cmdr. Andy Solberg Saturday that he had been thinking about Solberg and the movie, which explores the issues of race and police, Solberg said. Ramsey said he wanted to show the movie to all recruits going through the police academy and has assigned Solberg with creating the lesson plan.
Solberg said he was also given an official reprimand, the highest level of punishment below suspension.
