Chief Robert Contee Leaving DC Police Department for FBI
Hmmmmm. Don't talk
[NBC Wash] The chief of D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department is retiring from his position.
A high-level source with knowledge of the situation told News4 Robert Contee III is taking a job with the FBI.
A D.C. local who grew up in the Carver Terrace community of Northeast D.C., Contee became chief in May 2021 after first joining the department in 1989 and rising through the ranks.
Retiring after only two years? That seems a bit quick... | His tenure as chief began amid concerns about staffing and morale, with him serving as interim chief from the beginning of January 2021 -- just before the Jan. 6 insurrection -- until his official confirmation on May 4 of that year.
