Good news for the residents, commuters and visitors in the District of Columbia. Metropolitan Polce Department Chief Pamela Smith announced her resignation at the end of the year. Thank God. Her tenure has been a disaster. Crime has been skyrocketing, retention and recruitment has been dismal and Donald Trump was so upset with DC looking like Mad Max, he sent in the National Guard!
Chief Smith is proof positive that DEI does not work. Especially in law enforcement! The flavor of the month in law enforcement is to have women, especially women of color put in leadership positions. How’s did that work out!? Some of the boo boos include; Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge who is on administrative leave as of October 2025, Anne Kirkpatrick in New Orleans, Cerelyn “CJ” Davis in Memphis and there was the head of the Secret Service Kimberly Cheatle who was in charge when Donald Trump was almost assassinated. But; there was Keechant Sewell who was New York’s Police Commissioner. She was doing a bang-up job but got sick of Mayor Adams and his foolishness and left New York.
As for Smith, she was abysmal. Crime out of control. No recruitment, no retention despite handsome sign on bonus’! Then MPD is accused of “juking the stats” like so many other big city police departments. Then there was the appearance of Washington’s Finest. Sloppy uniforms, beards, man buns, wild hair styles on the ladies and way too many cops looking like the before photo for Ozempic or Jenny Craig! It was under Smith’s watch that Scoop Stanton’s car was stolen. The crooks left the car and Scoop got 14 camera tickets! You would think that DC would use those cameras to track stolen cars. Nope!
