From Logan Circle News:
Please join us as we celebrate Lt. Michael A. Smith’s retirement and honor his many years of service to the Logan Circle community and to the District of Columbia. For the few of you who don’t know him (or have his cell phone on your speed dial), Mike is a 27-year veteran of the Metropolitan Police Department. He is virtually unparalleled as a tireless, effective and dedicated officer. As former Chief Ramsey said of him in testimony before the D.C. City Council, “If I had 10 more like him, I wouldn’t need to increase the size of the MPD.”
