DC Police Chief, Cathy Lanier, Announces Retirement, Job Change at Age 49

Cathy Lanier

According to wikipeida, Chief Lanier was born on July 22, 1967.  That makes her a few weeks over 49 years old today.  She is retiring as of September 16th, when she will be almost 49 years and two months old.  From wtop.com:

When retiring D.C. police chief Cathy Lanier takes her new job as head of security for the NFL, she’ll be tackling one of pro football’s ongoing problems — domestic violence.

After almost 10 years as chief, and 26 years with the Metropolitan Police Department, Lanier’s final day will be Sept. 16, and within days she will assume her new role as Senior Vice President of Security, overseeing all aspects of security for professional football.

Police Chiefs have relatively little to say about police policy on political issues.  They do what they are told, and are usually selected as much for their political alignment as for their efficacy as police leaders. Lanier’s antipathy toward the Second Amendment is squarely in line with the District of Columbia City government. She leaves office with at least two ongoing lawsuits against her for enforcing the city’s unconstitutional gun policies.  From the washingtonpost.com:

On the national stage, Lanier became a voice for gun-control laws, complaining that crime in the District and other cities was driven up by repeat violent offenders with easy access to weapons.

While she headed the department, possessing and privately using small amounts of marijuana became legal, the courts time and again forced the city to rewrite rules for gun ownership, turning the District into a battleground for Second Amendment cases and overturning the city’s long-standing firearms ban that upended one of the centerpieces of the chief’s crime-fighting strategy.

It is unlikely that the new Chief will respect the Second Amendment any more than Chief Lanier.

Retire at 49 years old with a full pension?

Probably at around $150K per year.

And free medical for life?

And we wonder why cities are broke even with insanely high taxes.

Typical government deadhead. It’s all about making retirement and living half your life on someone else’s dime. Gold plated medical and all.

Not bad gig if you can get it....retire full pension at 49, get a plum job with the NFL (now full of liberals) at a salary probably twice or better what DC paid.

What a country. My guess, registered democrap.

Would you want that job? If so why didn’t you chose it? I wouldn’t want that job for a pension and medical benefits.

Does that make her answereable to NFL Chief Disciplinary Officer, former BATF Chief, and Fast and Furious accomplice, B. Toad Jones?

When she was hired....the rank and fill were extremely upset because they felt it should be an insider who assumes the position. So, she had a harsh introduction to DC politics.

Even today, there is turmoil within the DC fire department about the number of members who are not residents of DC (living in Maryland or Virginia). There are monthly arguments about the method of operation for the fire department.

Is that really your argument?

Should garage men make that amount too? How about septic tank pumpers?

And if a didn’t want to pay the insane pension and health care benefits?

A public union goon with a gun will come to your house and take it from you.

She’ll retire with $486.26 per day payment. She got the job and rode up the ranks because of her gender. Affirmative action in action. Her city taxpayers=suckers.

Why is it the NFL's job to deal with domestic violence? That is a criminal matter, so let the court system handle it.

A person is presumed innocent until proven guilty. That works, if you let it
