D.C. Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee III is retiring after 33 years with the department to become an assistant director at the FBI.


His last day on the force will be June 3, he said Wednesday.

"I want to congratulate Chief Contee on his retirement and thank him for his service to DC — for leading MPD with passion and purpose," D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said. "He has pushed our criminal justice system to do more and be better."

Contee was sworn in as chief at the start of January 2021, and crime has risen dramatically during that time. He took over just after the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
