From MPD:
“Alert: Shooting Investigation at 2153 hours in the 3100 block of 16th Street, NW. No lookout information.”
via MPD “It has been my greatest honor to serve as the Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department.” -Chief Robert J. Contee III
The Washington Post reported Chief Contee told colleagues: “he was leaving for a role as an assistant director with the FBI’s Office of Partner Engagement.”
From the Mayor’s Office:
“Mayor Muriel Bowser announced that Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) Chief Robert J. Contee III will retire from the Metropolitan Police Department and released the following statement:
“Chief Contee was sworn in four days before January 6, 2021. Since his first week on the job, and over the past 33 years, he has been making Washington, DC incredibly proud. He’s a son of DC who grew up in Carver Langston, joined the Metropolitan Police Department as a cadet at 17 years old, and now he’s ready for his next chapter. On behalf of our city, I want to congratulate Chief Contee on his retirement and thank him for his service to DC — for leading MPD with passion and purpose. He has pushed our criminal justice system to do more and be better. He has led MPD through an incredibly challenging time for our country – from the pandemic to January 6th and navigating the effects of a shrinking department during a time when gun violence is exploding across the nation. He has been a phenomenal ambassador of what it means to be a police officer in DC – brilliant, compassionate, and determined to build a DC where all people feel safe and are safe.
“We know that the Chief has a motto: Excellence is transferable. And we know he will leave behind a team of leaders and officers ready to continue serving DC at the highest levels.”
From DC Council Chairman Phil Mendelson:
“DC Council Chairman Phil Mendelson released the following statement regarding the resignation of DC Police Chief Robert Contee:
“I am shocked at the news of Police Chief Contee’s decision to leave MPD,” Mendelson said. “I am sorry to see him leave after more than three decades of service to the District. I wish him well in his next endeavors.”
“The Council stands ready to work with Mayor Bowser to find the best candidate to succeed Chief Contee. I am hopeful that the Mayor will take this opportunity to find a leader who is willing to try new approaches to law enforcement and new strategies to fight violent crime.”
