FARRELL, Associate Judge,
concurring:
I join the court’s opinion because of the express language of D.C.Code § 4-902(c), “maintaining]” all rights provided by the CMPA “as amended by this chapter-” Even so this is an exceedingly close case, because the CCRB Act bears all the earmarks of a comprehensive statutory scheme designed to supplant, not merely “amend,” the CMPA as regards civilian-initiated charges of police misconduct. I am comfortable in the result because in the end the CMPA’s notice and response requirements— severely limited in their application here— should not impair operation of the CCRB Act. See ante at 1147 n. 25.
