Ladies and gentlemen ... let me introduce you to the Chief of Police of the nation's 6th largest police department!

With approximately 3,400 officers and 600 civilian staff, the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia is the sixth-largest municipal police department in the United States. - Harriett Lublin 

 

• It has the fourth-highest homicide rate in the country, behind Atlanta, Chicago and Compton. 
• And, mirabile dictu, the police department functions without a chain of command. OMG!!!!
