Washington D.C. – The Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department released body camera footage on Monday that depicted two Metropolitan Police Department cruisers colliding while apparently drag racing each other. Four Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers were injured during the April 22nd incident according to the Daily Caller.
“Obviously those types of things are unacceptable, they’re embarrassing,” MPD Chief Robert Contee said. “It’s not something that we tolerate. It’s certainly something that I would not tolerate as the Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department.”
One of the MPD officers involved in the incident was a probationary employee and was fired following the incident. The other three officers are in a “non-contact” status and if the investigation finds they participated in misconduct they could be disciplined or fired.

Two policecars in Washington, D.C. have been totaled after a drag race between officers with the Metropolitan Police Department on Thursday, according to an internal email obtained by Fox 5 DC. Yesterday, two 6D scout cars were totaled because officers decided instead of fighting crime, patrolling their beats, or engaging the community – they decided to drag race each other on Anacostia Avenue at 5 pm in the evening, the email from 6D Commander Durriyyah Habeebullah reads. What does this say to all the members of MPD who are passionate about their job and work hard every day to make a difference. This is not fair to any of us.
