Internal Affairs Division agents with the Metropolitan Police Department arrested a D.C. police officer for alleged fraud on Tuesday. Police say the officer, 35-year-old Marc Davis, was working a second job at Giant while simultaneously billing MPD for on-duty hours. According to charging documents, the alleged fraud totaled more than $46,000 over an approximately two-year period.

Reached by phone Thursday afternoon, Davis’s attorney declined to comment on the charges.

Charging documents allege that Davis billed MPD for time that he spent working an outside job as a security guard at the Giant Food Store on Alabama Avenue Southeast. Davis billed MPD for hours he worked at Giant on at least 193 days between August 2021 and June 2023, according to police. Davis, who has been with the department since 2014, was an officer in the Seventh District.

The department says it revoked Davis’s police powers in June 2023, about a month after Internal Affairs Division agents were tipped off to the alleged fraud and began investigating it.

“The actions of this individual do not represent the values of the Metropolitan Police Department,” the department wrote in a press release. “We hold our employees to the highest standards of accountability and we are grateful to the Internal Affairs Bureau for diligently investigating this incident.”

Davis was approved through MPD to work the outside job; officers are allowed to work second jobs though they must stay within certain time limits and get departmental approval.

Davis is not the first D.C. police officer to be arrested in recent years for alleged involvement with this type of fraud, commonly referred to as “double dipping.” The former vice chair of D.C.’s police union, Medgar Webster Sr., pleaded guilty last year to fraud after the department discovered he was working a second job at Whole Foods while he claimed he was on duty for the department.

As of the end of July, with a month and a half left in the fiscal year, Davis had made nearly $50,000 in overtime pay for FY23, according to payroll records DCist/WAMU obtained as part of an investigation into overtime at MPD. During the previous fiscal year, he made $38,815 in overtime.

His earnings last year ranked him as the 289th top overtime earner out of about 3,500 Metropolitan Police Department employees for whom DCist/WAMU obtained overtime data — but they were far lower than the department’s top earners, who made more than $200,000 in overtime that year. The department says it has found “no evidence of fraud” among its very top-earning workers, who routinely make six figures in overtime alone. Fifteen current or former MPD employees said the hefty earnings were likely the result of an extreme eagerness to pick up extra shifts and assignments, despite the risks to officer health and public safety.
