Commissioner Sues Police Over Reward Program | Washington DC News

A D.C. neighborhood commissioner is suing the police over a broken crime-solver reward program, claiming he provided key video evidence that led to two major convictions — including a deadly hit-and-run — but was shortchanged on payouts and denied transparency. He alleges arbitrary decisions behind closed doors, with promised rewards slashed from $25K to $5K, and even a victim’s family misled about using funds for a headstone. After years of unanswered FOIA requests, he’s now demanding not just his money back, but a fair, publicly accountable system so citizens feel safe sharing vital information without fear or betrayal.
