We have faced many challenges, but we have always maintained our focus and stayed true to our mission. The perseverance of the employees of the United States Park Police in challenging times is a testament to their dedication to public service. I present to you a select few of the many accomplishments of the United States Park Police in 2006. Administratively, the Force published and implemented a comprehensive Strategic Plan covering the years 2006-2009. Based on the Strategic Plan, the Force developed and put into practice the Force Performance Measures, which allow Force managers to evaluate current operations, enhance effectiveness, and develop new efficient and effective practices, when applicable. We continue to move forward in the field of technology, working with our partners to enhance our communications interoperability capabilities, evidenced by the Memorandum of Agreement signed by the Force and Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies. This agreement increases the area covered by U.S. Park Police radios, will significantly reduce future radio maintenance costs, and increase the number of radio channels available to the Force. We have completed the first stage of the Incident Management Analysis and Reporting System. This system enhances incident management reporting in the field, records management, and crime analysis. We have a proud tradition of providing a safe environment to visitors of the National Parks and protecting our National Icons. In 2006, the Force handled over 12,000 special events, including portions of the State Funeral of Former President Gerald Ford, the Funeral Service for Mrs. Rosa Parks, several potentially volatile First Amendment demonstrations in National Parks, the Annual 4th of July Celebration, Groundbreaking for the Martin Luther King, Jr., Memorial and many others. Our Criminal Investigations Branch’s capabilities and professionalism received National attention when detectives assigned to the Unit closed the highly publicized crimes that occurred on the National Mall. The Force was able to maintain and build upon our partnerships with other law enforcement agencies by conducting joint training exercises that enhance unified response to incidents within the areas we serve. The United States Park Police continues on the forefront of Icon protection, participating in the physical security enhancements of the Washington Monument, technological advancement in the protection of the Statue of Liberty, and design conferences of proposed future memorials. Just as we have moved forward in 2006, I look ahead with great anticipation to our improvement in 2007. Respectfully, Dwight E. Pettiford, Chief of Police 2 MISSION, VISION, AND VALUES Mission We, the United States Park Police, support and further the mission and goals of the Department of the Interior and the National Park Service by providing quality law enforcement to safeguard lives, protect our national treasures and symbols of democracy, and preserve the natural and cultural resources entrusted to us.

The Narcotics & Vice Unit, along with the SWAT Team, executed 33 search warrants. Types of drugs seized by officers of the United States Park Police in 2006. Marijuana Oxycontin Cocaine Ecstasy Crack Cocaine Methamphetamine Heroin PCP Hashish 5 PATROL United States Park Police 2006 Annual Report January In Washington, DC, the Narcotics & Vice Unit, along with the Rock Creek Station (District 3) patrol officers and members of the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team, executed a search warrant. Recovered from a residence were 11 pounds of marijuana, 60 grams of cocaine base (crack), 190 grams of cocaine hydrochloride, one 9mm pistol, one .38 caliber revolver (which had been stolen in a burglary), and $51,285.00 in U.S. currency. During the course of the search, the subject returned to his house and was placed under arrest without incident. January In Washington, DC, Officer Psak and her K-9 partner Malu responded to assist Metro Transit Police units with a search for a suspect. The suspect was wanted for attempting to stab a Metro bus driver at 7th and Independence Avenue, SW. Officer Psak deployed Malu and directed him to track the suspect with a Metro Transit officer as their back up. The track of the suspect started at the bus where the suspect fled and Malu tracked across sidewalks, streets, and an asphalt parking lot near the National Mall. The Metro Transit officer observed the suspect and detained him until positive identification was made by the Metro bus driver. The suspect was arrested after positive identification and charged with assault with a deadly weapon. The K-9 track was approximately ½ mile long on a mostly wet, hard surface after a thunderstorm. Without the assistance and tracking of Officer Psak and Malu, the suspect may have escaped apprehension. Officer Psak and Malu’s case was selected for and won the best National case from the United States Police Canine Association. This selection was measured against 25 other Regions. February On Liberty Island, NY, a couple placed their belongings in a security locker. Upon their return, they noticed $540.00 missing and reported the theft. During the investigation, a videotape of the area was reviewed. This led to the arrest of a concession employee, who was charged with misappropriation of property and tampering. March In Washington, DC, while patrolling the area of Fort Totten Park, Sergeant Monahan stopped a vehicle for traveling at night without headlights illuminated. Investigation led to the arrest of the operator for narcotics violations. Recovered from the vehicle were 57 grams of crack cocaine, packaged for distribution, with a street value of $5,700.00. April In Washington, DC, Officer A. Watson conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle seen leaving Grove 8 in Rock Creek Park. Both occupants of the vehicle were placed under arrest for narcotics violations. Recovered from the vehicle were 144 grams of marijuana, packaged in 57 zips for distribution, with a street value of $1,440.00.

DeLauro, Chairwoman Honorable Kay Granger, Ranking Member January 26, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Virtual Briefing Washington, D.C. Good morning, Chairwoman DeLauro, Ranking Member Granger, and members of the Committee. I am Robert J. Contee, III, the Acting Chief of Police of the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia, the primary police force in the District of Columbia. I appreciate this opportunity to brief you on the events of January 6, 2021, a dark day for our country. It is critically important that we – members of Congress, District leaders and policy makers, D.C. residents, and all Americans – find answers to questions about the 6th. I will relate to you the facts as we know them at this time, based on the point of view of MPD and the government of the District of Columbia. As with any event with multiple agencies, thousands of people, and almost as many cameras as people, there will inevitably be several perspectives and possibly inconsistencies that will need to be aligned as we gather more information. That process has been understandably delayed by the massive security operations around the 59th Presidential Inauguration, but certainly will be a focus for all involved agencies in the months to come. Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Metropolitan Police Department take pride in protecting all groups, regardless of their beliefs, who come to the nation’s capital to exercise their First Amendment rights “peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”1 The Metropolitan Police Department is a recognized leader in protecting and supporting these peaceful assemblies.
