DC Quietly Settled a Lawsuit by a Former Police Employee, Conceding That Her Superiors Forced Her to Fraudulently Alter Police Records to Make the Numbers Look Acceptable

The Free Beacon: DC has been faking crime stats for years.

A DC Police Sergeant Exposed Her Superiors for Misclassifying Crimes To Make Stats Look Low. The City Just Quietly Settled Her Lawsuit.

Records revealed in the suit from police sergeant Charlotte Djossou showed that department leadership directed subordinates to file theft and violent crimes as lower-level offenses

August 14, 2025
The District of Columbia has quietly settled a lawsuit from a sergeant who accused Metropolitan Police Department leaders of misclassifying offenses to deflate the district's crime statistics, court records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show. Police brass repeatedly told officers to downgrade theft cases, knife attacks, and violent assaults to lesser offenses, according to internal MPD emails, depositions, and phone call transcripts the Free Beacon reviewed.
Former MPD sergeant Charlotte Djossou sued the department in 2020, alleging that police leadership punished her for speaking out against the scheme. Djossou, who joined the force after serving honorably in Iraq, accused MPD brass of attempting to "distort crime statistics" by "downgrading a number of felonies to misdemeanors, so that there will be 'fewer' felonies in the statistics." She also provided records showing that police leaders explicitly instructed their subordinates to underclassify certain instances of theft to keep them out of the crime stats the city reports to the public.
The lawsuit, as well as the city's decision to settle, calls into question the prevailing narrative presented in mainstream media outlets as President Donald Trump carries out a D.C. crime crackdown. The New York Times, Washington Post, and Politico have all cited data from the Metropolitan Police Department to contend that D.C. crime is low and Trump's crackdown is unnecessary. That coverage did not mention whistleblowers like Djossou, nor did it disclose that a D.C. police commander is currently on leave after the city's police union accused him of manipulating crime stats.
Though elements of Djossou's case have previously been reported, the settlement has not. Neither have several exhibits the legal proceedings brought to light, including a 2022 deposition of MPD commander Randy Griffin. At the time of the events in question, Griffin oversaw D.C's Fourth District in the northernmost part of the city. He confirmed in his deposition that he tasked a police captain, Franklin Porter, with finding "a solution for the theft problem, which was driving up the district's statistics" in April 2018.
Porter's solution, devised alongside former MPD lieutenant Andrew Zabavsky, was to use the "Taking Property Without Right" (TPWOR) classification instead of "Shoplifting" or "Theft," Griffin confirmed in the deposition. Court records show that Zabavsky--currently serving a 48-month sentence for covering up an unrelated murder case--"acknowledged this was done because TPWOR reports are not tracked in the D.C. Crime Report."

I mentioned Carl Cannon's reporting that cops are told to accept someone's word for it that their knife would or gunshot wound was "just an accident" so they don't have to record a felony assault.

Even though it has been reported again and again that a high-ranking officer in the DC police brass was suspended for faking crime statistics, the Gaslight Media has a fever, and the only cure is repeating these fake statistics over and over and over.

Without ever once conceding that the numbers are fake or even unreliable. Or even simply challenged.

Liberal cable networks CNN and MSNBC have been citing fabricated statistics in an attempt to debunk President Trump's claims on Monday about rampant crime in Washington, D.C. Over the past 24 hours, these two networks have cited the dubious statistics over 70 times, while refusing to acknowledge that a D.C. police official was suspended for tampering with those stats just months ago.
Summary of findings:
Over 24 hours, CNN and MSNBC cited manipulated D.C. crime statistics 73 times.
Conservative CNN contributor Scott Jennings was the only individual on either network to mention that a police commander was suspended for allegedly falsifying those statistics.
Across both networks, January 6, 2021 was brought up 31 times.
In Mid-may, D.C. police commander Michael Pulliam was put on administrative leave after the police union accused his department of intentionally manipulating crime data. As Paul Wagner at NBC News Washington explained: "The union claims police supervisors in the department manipulate crime data to make it appear violent crime has fallen considerably compared to last year."
But since Monday, CNN and MSNBC have continuously cited those contaminated data, in response to President Trump announced that the federal government would be assuming control of policing in the District.
MRC analysts examined the first 24 hours of regular weekday coverage on CNN and MSNBC after Trump's Monday announcement, from 11:00 a.m. on August 11 to 10:59 a.m. on August 12. Analysts identified 73 instances in which anchors, guests, and reporters cited the manipulated crime statistics for which Pulliam was suspended. MSNBC was responsible for 44 such instances, while CNN aired the remaining 29.
The only individual on either network who acknowledged the dubious origin of the data was conservative CNN contributor Scott Jennings, during a panel discussion in the 10:00 p.m. hour on August 11.
But while Pulliam's alleged malfeasance was nearly entirely absent from the coverage, talking heads were eager to mention another topic in their discussion of crime in Washington: January 6. TV journalists managed to bring up the unrest at the U.S. Capitol four years ago a whopping 31 times (17 on MSNBC, 14 on CNN).

This is a critical falsification for the left, because they have pursued a policy of "decarceration" and, essentially, immunity of black people from criminal law since George Floyd's heart committed a racial assault against him.

And yes, this is about black people specifically. BLM and the Democrat Cult did not begin a five year crusade to legalize crime for the sake of white perpetrators. The Democrats and media (but I repeat myself) celebrate every time they find a white criminal like it's New Years Even 2000.

The left claimed that "decarceration" would have no negative effects on public safety, because social workers would make better law-enforcers -- or law-encouragers -- than cops.

It is therefore necessary for the left to fake crime stats to keep their "decarceration" agenda alive and, of course, to avoid any political fall-out from its failure.

I have a big question: The people faking these stats are faking official government reports. When DC fraudulently reports fake stats, they are defrauding the federal government that demands these statistics be accurately compiled.

Why are we not prosecuting these people for felonies? And flipping them to turn on their superiors, who almost certainly ordered the fraud?

Was it the DC mayor who ordered the fraud?

Or was it... Biden and his operatives, and his DOJ and FBI?

We have to know. This didn't just happen.

From Twitchy, illegal criminal leaker and China-compromised espionage agent Eric Swallowall inserts himself:

Twitchy points out the huge 180:

Dems: Crime in DC is really rare these days and federal intervention is unnecessary.
Literally 2 hours later: All this crime in DC is now Trump's fault!

Former Bernie Sanders and then Kamala Harris aid Symone Sanders insists there's no crime problem in DC and people claiming there is a problem are just racist against black people. She also insists that, "as a black woman," police don't make her safer, but more endangered.

Sure.

It turns out her husband, a restaurant association official, disagrees.

If you’re going to argue that discussion of violent crime is “propaganda” from “people who have never set foot in your community..”

You better make sure your own husband hasn’t gone on record to media about violent crime being so bad it drove businesses out of that community. pic.twitter.com/tu8PICf7QS

Scott Jennings told delusional Democrats that, in postulating that out-of-control post-Summer-of-Love crime is just people's racist imagination working overtime, they're abandoning their usual 20/80 issues in favor of a 9/91 issue.

Scott Jennings says 91% of D.C. residents think crime is a problem -- "This is not a figment of ANYONE'S imagination. This is NOT mass hysteria."
Jennings just dropped another truth bomb, SHATTERING the Democrat narrative that crime in D.C. is a "non-issue."
"The polling that you showed earlier combining people who thought crime is an extreme problem or a moderate problem, was 91%."
"So 91% of people who live in a jurisdiction think it's a moderate or an extreme problem."
"This is not a figment of anyone's imagination."
"This is not mass hysteria."
"This isn't, you know, some... collective hallucination."
"It's real. People who live there know they aren't safe."

19 Leftist Statistics:

— The crime rate is going down! (If you mis-report all the cases and don't even bother to arrest most criminals.)

— The unemployment rate is very low! (If you don't count all the people who have given up looking for work, which is half the population.)

— The peasants and collectivist farms are all eating well! (Considering that 75% of them have already died of starvation so the survivors can share the remaining food.)

20 It's one of the reasons why people tend to focus on homicide rates - although you can play games with which fatalities count as homicides to a small extent, generally the homicide counts are fairly accurate.

DC has six times the homicide rate of New York.

33 Symone, dear, between your alopecia hairdo and the shoulders of a linebacker, I doubt random hobos will want to attack your fat ass. So try to get real.

This black deal should have been done and dusted 50yrs ago in my not humble opinion. I lived through it. Smack dab in the middle of it and Life and Look Magazines told me this at a very early age of reading.

I knew black people from birth...hell, some half raised me. I respected them more than my own mother (in their opinion when they yelled at me to stop sassing my mother). I said ma'am to them because that was how I was raised and they were older than me. I went to school with black kids. I worked with black adults in hospitals, some supervisor nurses. I had a black female surgeon operate on me.

Race Baiting should go the way of the dinosaur. A fossil footprint of history.

Focus on the lack of black men as fathers and the problem of little gangstas might be solved. Or on the 4th or 5th generations of welfare.

I seriously should be in President Trump's cabinet. Ha!

He promoted the stats which "proved" that jogging improved your heart health, since it was shown that joggers on average had healthier hearts than the general population.

After he died, the statistics were re-examined, and — oops — the reason joggers apparently had healthier hearts is that jogging killed all the joggers with bad hearts, so the surviving joggers indeed had healthier hearts, but only because jogging killed off all the weaklings.

88 >>Why are we not prosecuting these people for felonies?

I think two problems.
1. "Following orders," often all the way to a judgment proof politician.
2. Subjectivity. The guidelines and policies are internal so not a violation of law, just a matter of judgment and policy.
3. The people who report it are not the people who record it, so who do you prosecute. The only way is to go after the guys telling the recorders (cops) how to code each crime and prove they had intent to defraud.

This is the problem. You either have high trust, or creeping totalitarianism. High trust societies follow conscience and duty but without that, you only have laws and terror.

After he died, the statistics were re-examined, and — oops — the reason joggers apparently had healthier hearts is that jogging killed all the joggers with bad hearts, so the surviving joggers indeed had healthier hearts, but only because jogging killed off all the weaklings.

116 Not being overweight is one of the best things you can do for your health, be it jogging, dieting, or whatever.

I do know jogging isn't great for your joints over a long period of time - humans are more designed for a lot of walking then a lot of running, but I suspect if you took an average group of overweight Americans and got them on a jogging regime they would outlive their control group peers.

Janie helped raise me from childhood til college. All it took was one look and I'd stop whatever I was doing and behave. She never did more than tell me off (no cussin). Felt sorry for my brother as I was such a bully and he was her favorite.

But she'd rip the gardener's skin off and my brother and I got to listen (before mother got in the car). The N word was thrown (which I still don't say and was not allowed to say). And that was mild what she called Willis. Who did, admittedly, smell pretty dang bad. She'd tell him this anytime she could very loudly (cause he was deaf).

I did not have a normal childhood at all. But it was a good one!

I cried and flipped out my new husband (crying is rare with me) when I heard Janie was very sick and in the hospital. We were broke but he offered to fly me home to see her. That is how much I loved that lady.

She told my mother, hearing I was going to nursing school, "I feel sorry for her patients!" Ha! We were all scared of her wrath, including my parents!

Hair can help a lot with looks. Not many women can rock the short haircut. The hijab is somewhere between short hair and bald. Plus if there is fat in the face, and a big nose, it looks like the hijab is applying pressure on all that and squeezing it out. I haven't seen any side by sides of women with/without their hijab, but I suspect that in most cases, the hijab detracts. Probably one of the reasons why the arab migrants can't control themselves when they see Western women.

I m just sort of tired of people using f"ing and shi* as words for things every single time they have a complaint , but the white people do it as well.

178 Back in 1992 I had been collecting for about 5 years local crime stats for my precincts in LA's Ramparts Divison and publishing them for our local org. It was at that time that Bush41 was making a big push to help city crime enforcement.

Of course they wanted to brag about results. As it so happened I noticed how several car break-ins on my own street became only one. The explanation was since it happened on the same night it was the same criminal. So one crime. When questioned further I discovered that it was the same for a number of crimes I wouldn't personally be aware of.

Anyone care to bet that since then things have returned to normal?

Number one was DC with 41 murders per 100k.
Second was some 3rd world capitol with ~ 16-17 per 100k.
Baghdad was 3rd, with like 15 per 100k.

I only cuss in the privacy of my home with my husband. I can control it. He fears someday I will be senile and can't. I try to behave and Janie would be mad at me.

If you saw the movie, The Help, that's where I was. But we sure as heck did not have a separate bathroom! Insane stuff!

They were family and we all attended funerals for them and vice versa. The only time I cried after my father died was when Janie and Mary (her daughter...I knew them both from birth) sent $20 to my mother for flowers. Good women. I was very lucky to know them.

They both gave me dishes for our wedding. I got lectured by Janie for not picking out a china pattern vs stoneware. She told me that I might not ever get my grandmother's if my aunt lived to be as old (she was correct). They were invited to our wedding but refused to come as there were "too many white people." Loved them.

263 Dims just can't leave stuff alone. In the '70's with drugs and gangs, people began moving out of cities. A loss of people who paid taxes. Leaving potholes and horrible infrastructure including, now, 50yrs later, simple things like water.

But,nooooooooo! That was not enough. During these 50yrs with the surburb fleeing people of edumacation, city councils and mayors filled in. By filling in, we don't mean potholes or plugging pipes...they stole money to make things worse vs paying city bills.

Then the Dims were in control federally, too. So they took this further by not keeping criminals jailed. Oh, no. We must not have bail for the confused/mental thugs! Let them back out to rob, rape and murder! So even more people, who possibly paid taxes, flee.

The cycle goes unbroken. We can thank Barky, but the problems were there in the '70's.

President Trump's washing machine is set to the cleansing cycle so far. He is not going for rinse and repeat.

When does he curse? Once he dropped a "Fuck" when bibi cucked him briefly. He said "bullshit" a couple times, referring to some real grade A mil-spec cow feces. The dude really doesn't swear all that much, and it's always for an understandable reason, not the faux gettaux "tough guy" tourettes other politicians put on.

You are correct that he doesn't curse as much as some, but IMHO it's completely unacceptable in a president. I have done a lot of public speaking in my life, and never used profanity. It diminishes the speaker. I wish he wouldn't do it.

Obviously it's different in private. I don't expect saints in office.

Have you been in front of the press for decades, recorded and broadcast for many thousands of hours? Weak sauce you are stirring here.

289 average group of overweight Americans and got them on a jogging regime they would outlive their control group peers.
——

Obese people don’t, as a rule, go running. It is idiotic due to the extreme abuse inflicted on joints, ankles, knees. As it is they can barely climb stairs, and the rest of it.

Put the fork down, you can’t outrun your fork. A big spoonfull of peanut butter takes a couple hours of heavy exertion to burn off, that’s a rounding error with these individuals.

Calorie restriction is Not Fun for people used to eating A. Whatever they want B. Whenever they want and C. However much they want.

Exercise has little or nothing to do with it per se. Massive, excessive caloric intake far in excess to metabolic needs, particularly carbohydrate is the proximate cause.

Go running/walking after the fat is gone. Now that makes sense.

Agree. My mother would also agree. However, I will say this: I prefer President Trump's occasional cussing to Barky's pretend 8yrs. Or Biden's Corn Pop Dreams.

I especially like the fact that there has never, thank God, been another LBJ who used to talk to some of his cabinet while he took a dump. Or showed his gallbladder scar. Or held his beagles by their ears. I was a little girl and this traumatized me from a magazine far more than a cuss word now sadly heard in any store.

My Marine Sgt father stopped cussing when toddler me picked up a few choice words in the delicate raising of a Southern belle. One of my grandmother's cuss words was, in anger, "barnyard manure!"

Apparently, in front of my brothers with our cattle my father did cut loose. But not in front of ladies!
