LinkLinks DCist: Bowser Picks Park Police Veteran Pamela Smith To Lead Metropolitan Police Department By Editor On Jul 17, 2023 Last updated Jul 17, 2023 14 Share D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser on Monday nominated Pamela Smith to serve as chief of the Metropolitan Police Department, tapping the former chief of the U.S. Park Police and current ordained minister to replace former chief Robert Contee at a time when crime is up in the city and the department continues facing challenges retaining and recruiting officers. If confirmed by the D.C. Council, Smith, 55, would become only the second woman to lead MPD — and the first Black woman to do so. 14 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
