Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 She was pretty solid as dcs top cop. Interviews well, views the world factually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 There are a lot more articles on her; she seems very solid. “She was willing to be part of the solution instead of slow-rolling or being obstructionist,” Being in DC metro area I hear a lot on DC police and she made improvements upon it. I am sure if she gets a video from a casino showing a player dragging a girl friend she will act upon it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/dc-police-chief-cathy-l-lanier-leaves-to-work-for-the-nfl/2016/08/16/9d81ae2c-63ba-11e6-be4e-23fc4d4d12b4_story.html Lanier will replace Jeffrey Miller, the former state police commissioner of Pennsylvania who resigned from the NFL in the spring. He had been involved in controversy last year when it was reported he had received a video showing Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice striking his then-fiancée in an Atlantic City hotel elevator, though league officials said no one had viewed it before it became public. Seems to be a lot of these PA officials in news lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob2232 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Will miss her in DC. She was always front and center, and a good top cop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boater Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) I lived in DC area for a while... Lanier is sensible and respected by all. Good move by the NFL. But I must say that is the worst photo of her I have ever seen. She's a very attractive woman. Search Google Images to check it out.

Dorkington Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Will miss her in DC. She was always front and center, and a good top cop. Yup, sorry to see her go. City isn't perfect by any means, but policing improved drastically under her imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonabb Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Sign me up for "who cares?" I hate the NFL as an entity, I disagree with with nearly everything it does, from the faux breast cancer charade to the way it has dealt with concussions to the way it seeks to expand to the way it takes public subsidy for private profit to the immature childish scumbags who play the sport (see: Dareus, Marcel as exhibit A). Problem is, I love the sport but hate every other things outside the lines. This isn't news, WGAS? Given the NFL's marketing machine that seeks to overcome the litany of bad news surrounding it (horrible humans who play, greedy owners who run it, the exploitation of players), this is merely a PR move that seeks public goodwill by distracting people from the garbage that is the NFL, akin to a ribbon cutting by Byron "I Survive on Corporate Handouts" Brown for something he had no hand in. Are supposed to do cartwheels because they hired a female and then sent out a massive press release? Does anyone know the prior person who held the position? Jeffrey Miller, of course you didn't know because it was a man who likely never had the pub because he was a highly qualified male. Was she the most qualified? Who were the other candidates?

Jeffrey Miller, of course you didn't know because it was a man who likely never had the pub because he was a highly qualified male. Was she the most qualified? Who were the other candidates? Not a PR move. She has a successful record as Chief of Police of Washington DC, a city with target on it's back. She is qualified. The league sent out a press release when they hired Miller. Here is the press release for Lanier. No gender card in it. Compare the press releases, you'll see that she is qualified, probably more so than Miller. No one in this thread brought up the gender card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VirginiaMike Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Living in Northern Virginia I get to see and hear alot from and about Cathy Lanier. I have always been impressed with her approach to the job and her honesty. She will do well in this job if the powers that be (i.e. Rodger the dodger) let her do her job. Unfortunately, I doubt he will. Good luck Cathy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
