WASHINGTON - The union representing the District's 3,600 police officers is calling for an investigation into how the police department reports crime statistics after comments made by Chief Cathy Lanier on WTOP.
Kristopher Baumann, chairman of the Fraternal Order of Police's Labor Committee, sent a letter to the District's Inspector General and the D.C. Council saying the Department "failed to publicly admit or recognize what could be only described as an alarming rise in serious sexual assaults in the District of Columbia."
Lanier told WTOP in early July that sexual assaults in the District were up in some areas from last year.
"Sexual assaults as a whole are up citywide," Lanier said on WTOP's Ask The Chief Program. "And in a couple of districts, they are up double digit percentages."

sexual assaults have increase a thousand fold across the US FROM dc...obama is screwing us all againist our will.
looks like a very low number, comming out of dc.
Might have something to do with the fact that an accusation constitutes an arrest now, as opposed to actually needing evidence...
This wouldn't be the case if DC didn't have a gun ban. Instead there would be attempted sexual assaults and dead predators.
highest rates are probably in congress
