One of the highest-ranking officials in the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department has been placed on administrative leave as part of an internal investigation.
New York City Councilman Robert Holden (D), who is backing Republican Curtis Sliwa for mayor, accused city officials of manipulating crime statistics to make conditions look better than they are.
