WASHINGTON — Republican leaders in Congress are launching an investigation into whether top police officials in Washington, D.C., engaged in a cover-up of crime statistics to make it seem as if illegal activity in the capital city was decreasing over the last three years.

The House Oversight Committee announced on Monday it would open an inquiry into the Metropolitan Police Department and whether it deliberately manipulated data to show lower crime rates. As part of the inquiry, the panel is requesting access to all documents and materials detailing the decision-making behind the department’s crime reporting process.

The will be a warning to some cities and also an reasonable excuse/example for many to ignore local politics and do the right thing.

Of course they did. They refused to process arrests, or told police not to arrest perps, dismissed charges, and threw them out, while lowering the criminal level of crimes they did process, ie., violent felony charges reduced to misdemeanors. There aren’t any crimes if you don’t create a record for them.

Additionally wondering if they intentionally didn't roll units to reported crime scenes when they coulda' (shoulda'?).

Probably were ordered to tell people who called 911 that there weren't any available units to respond at that time.
