Fox News
Robert Contee III is retiring from the D.C. Metro Police Department (MPD) after more than two years in the role, Mayor Muriel Bowser announced Wednesday.
"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," the mayor said. Bradford Betz is a Fox News Digital breaking reporter covering crime, political issues, and much more.
"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."
Sources told WTOP that Contee had accepted a role with the FBI. Fox News Digital has reached out to MPDC for comment.
