Lanier is now taking hertaki expertise to the envelope wheree she will be senior vicepresident of security. Fox5s paul wagner life at Police Headquarters tonight with more on what the chief had to say about moving on. Paul, did you expect this todayi reporter to be honest withth you, yes. You, not today, per se, but in speaking with officers over the last several weeks and seeing her and how she was engaged with orallers and seemed to me and others that it looked like the chief was about to wind down career in washington, d. C. , a career where she has been loved by the community. Her poll numbers frequently above 70 percent. Ov she was known for showing up at crime scenes at all hours of the night, going to Community Meetings and seen hugging mothers and fathers who had lost sonses and daughters to gun violence. But the chief today saying shes hanging in her badge and hanging up her handcuffs. Ndcu today at a News Conference at 300 indiana known as Police Headquarters the mayor stoodor next to the chief and had some very nice things to say and praised her efforts over ther last ten years. Heres some of what the mayor te had to say. During the chiefs tenure,villee event crime has dropped 23 percent. The chief made an immediatediat impact on Violent Crime in themi district by working to queensrk partnersin in the criminal juste system that through coordinated and immediate action we could in the district and that work will continue. I am very proud of the force that kathy has lead and a lot of people have worked together to build. Cathy lanier took this job whenh she was just 39 years old under former mayor aidrien fenty and under fenty she tried to reducec gun violence by setting up road blocks. Bloc it was very controversial and iv was over turn by a court order. She also began what was called all hands on deck in which all the officers worked on the weekend. The community loved it, but the Police Officers not so much, especially the police union. Though they didnt like it aty all. Di i asked the chief today what was her biggest challenge in the last 10 years heres what shet had to say. Y. Its ionic that you answer thatt question, paul wagner. My biggest challenge has been the press. laughter . I had to do it, paul. Sorry. The biggest challenge has really been making sure that the people that we understand that we do care what we do. Were Police Officers so to come to work and do the tough job that cops do out there on the street every day and also communicate to the people thatat we do care and we are passionate and we do have feelings for the people that we serve, its a tough balance, because you have to be tough in this job and while officers are out doing their job, at the same time be able to convey those feelings. Its very difficult, especially when sometimes when the moments are the tennest. I think weve done a great job and our Community Trusts us. In recent years the chief had a big fight with the union over a new contract. New she won. And they were infuriated the officers then votedno the chief has also vigorously fought gun violence in the city and has been a huge supporter or gun control, but when the Supreme Court brought in some in new laws to the city the chief had to allow the gun ownership in the city that she didnt necessarily want to so. Aril the homicide steadily went downn during chiefs tenure, but rising in the last year. T i asked the chief what her legacy would be. Heres what she had to say. The image of our Police Department has changed some inin the last ten years in that we are engaged in our community. There are lots of people in our community who you can ask whowho are the beat officers and they know their names and what shift off they have so they are engaged. I think the most legacy, theregy are other things, but the most important legacy is that we have a community that supports us and that support helps us to prevent crime, close cases and even bring cases because people will talkl to us and give us the information we need even proactively and help us prevent crimes. As many of you the chief hasie seen a retirement bubble inn recent years. The police force has shrunk. Unk. Shes been in fight with the union. The union calling her management style toxic. The chief has overseen Top Notch Training for her officers theree have been very few controversial uses of force during her tenure. She has also ushered in a new era of accountability with body cameras. Came well have more coming up with chiefs new job with the nfl and what she believes she can bringn to that job. Paul, quickly she has about t month left at that job until september 17. That ill with be her last day. Y. The mayor saying that shes going to name a interim here in the next couple of days, anya rumblings anybody whoys is on tt short list. Reporter more than likelykey shes who is on the command staff. Probably somebody who has been on the staff as long as she has or even longer. Its just speculation at thisatt point. She also said that she feels that she may promote from withiw for the permanent job and that shes encouraging from outside the department foray ply forth the job. She said shes not going to get a Head Hunting Firm to p come in and help her find a new chief. E all right, paul wagner reporting life for us. Thank you so much. Big news today.

I had no run ins with themem whatsoever so it was harassment. I name they wouldnt give me no names or no nothing. O so i left. I never knew that this was being recorded.
