A new House Oversight Committee report is taking aim at Washington D.C.‘s Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela Smith, accusing Smith of manipulating the district’s crime data.
The Oversight Committee released the interim investigation report on Sunday, just days after Smith announced her resignation, effective Dec. 31. The committee interviewed eight MPD commanders, seven current and one suspended, and found that their testimonies substantiated allegations of manipulated crime statistics and uncovered a “toxic management culture,” according to the report.
