I will keep my private life unsullied as an example to all and will behave in a manner that does not bring discredit to me or to my agency. I will maintain courageous calm in the face of danger, scorn or ridicule; develop self-restraint; and be constantly mindful of the welfare of others. Honest in thought and deed both in my personal and official life, I will be exemplary in obeying the law and the regulations of my department. Whatever I see or hear of a confidential nature or that is confided to me in my official capacity will be kept ever secret unless revelation is necessary in the performance of my duty. I will never act officiously or permit personal feelings, prejudices, political beliefs, aspirations, animosities or friendships to influence my decisions. With no compromise for crime and with relentless prosecution of criminals, I will enforce the law courteously and appropriately without fear or favor, malice or ill will, never employing unnecessary force or abuse and never accepting gratuities. I recognize the badge of my office as a symbol of public faith, and I accept it as a public trust to be held so long as I am true to the ethics of police service. I will never engage in acts of corruption or bribery, nor will I condone such acts by other police officers. I will cooperate with all legally authorized agencies and their representatives in the pursuit of justice.

I will constantly strive to achieve these objectives and ideals, dedicating myself before God to my chosen profession . law enforcement. Copyright Lexipol, LLC 2021/07/26, All Rights Reserved.

  • Testimony of Robert J
    Government of the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department Testimony of Robert J. Contee, III Acting Chief of Police Capitol Complex Security Failures on January 6, 2021 United States House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations Honorable Rosa L. 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.

  • Half Way Down the Trail to Hell
    Half Way Down The Trail To Hell A Wartime Remembrance in Three Parts By Stephen E. Kirkland i Prologue “The danger, being around veterans, the memories are so selective and so heroic that you’ve got to be careful talking to a guy like me.” George Herbert Walker Bush A while back I discovered the Library of Congress is conducting a program called The Veterans History Project. The mission of the project is the collection and preservation of veteran’s wartime recollections and documents before they are lost forever. Like many wartime veterans, I concentrated on getting on with my life. I needed a job that would allow me to marry, buy a house and raise a family. I didn’t feel anything I had experienced in Vietnam would contribute to these goals, and I felt that, for the most part, people who hadn’t served didn’t know or even care what I had seen or done. The country’s attitude was different than with the Gulf War veterans and I deflected the few inquires that were made, especially the ones that contained the words “Did ya’ kill anybody?” I was too busy dealing with the present to spend a lot of time staring into the past. Now, almost four decades after returning home, the time has come to look back and try to recreate a piece of personal history, albeit history filtered though my water colored memories. I’ve relied on a number of sources for this remembrance, not the least of which were letters that I wrote home.

  • A Study for Health Hazard Evaluation of Methylene Chloride Evaporated from the Tear Gas Mixture
    Saf Health Work 2010;1:98-101 | DOI:10.5491/SHAW.2010.1.1.98 pISSN : 2093-7911 eISSN : 2093-7997 Case Report A Study for Health Hazard Evaluation of Methylene Chloride Evaporated from the Tear Gas Mixture Seung-Hyun PARK, Eun-Kyo CHUNG, Gwang-Yong YI, Kwang-Jae CHUNG, Jung-Ah SHIN and In-Seop LEE Department of Occupational Environment Research, Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute, KOSHA, Incheon, Korea This study explored the health hazard of those exposed to methylene chloride by assessing its atmospheric concentration when a tear gas mixture was aerially dispersed. The concentration of methylene chloride ranged from 311.1–980.3 ppm (geometric mean, 555.8 ppm), 30 seconds after the dispersion started. However, the concentration fell rapidly to below 10 ppm after dispersion was completed. The concentration during the dispersion did not surpass the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health ‘immediately dangerous to life or health’ value of 2,300 ppm, but did exceed the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists excursion limit of 250 ppm. Since methylene chloride is highly volatile (vapor pressure, 349 mmHg at 20oC), the post- dispersion atmospheric concentration can rise instantaneously. Moreover, the o-chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile formulation of tear gas (CS gas) is an acute upper respiratory tract irritant. Therefore, tear gas mixtures should be handled with delicate care. Key Words: Methylene chloride, CS tear gas, Tear gas mixture, Health hazard evaluation Introduction Despite this long history of use, CS gas has recently come under greater scrutiny since it can be applied as a mixture that Tear gases such as o-chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile (CS), contains a suspected human carcinogen, methylene chloride.
