13 D.C. officers are on leave amid probe into alleged crime data manipulation.
{snip}
According to a report from the Washington Post, two assistant police chiefs are among those recommended for discipline, the officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. At least some of the proposed actions stem from an internal affairs investigation into alleged manipulation of crime data, the officials said. The city, the Department of Justice and congressional Republicans are all examining the matter.
Assistant Chief LaShay Makal and Second District Commander Tatjana Savoy have been placed on administrative leave, according to an MPD spokesperson. {snip}
Two officials familiar with the matter said Makal and Savoy are among those facing potential discipline in the crime‑statistics investigation. {snip}
Two other senior officials, Assistant Chief Andre Wright and former Third District Commander Michael Pulliam, also face potential discipline and were already on administrative leave.
Wright was on leave after inappropriate text messages were allegedly found on his phone, while Pulliam had previously been the subject of a crime‑statistics‑related investigation, according to prior reporting by the Post.

Those accused of misconduct will have the chance to respond through the department’s disciplinary system, a process that can lead to arbitration and, in some cases, take years to resolve.
