A Message from the Fifth District Commander
I am honored and privileged to serve as commander of the Metropolitan Police Department’s Fifth District. As a second-generation MPD officer, I’m deeply familiar with the city’s rich history. My father and uncle were both MPD officers, and they had a strong influence on my decision to join the best police department in the country.
As Fifth District commander, I will focus my leadership on prioritizing the community’s most pressing needs and collaborating with our partners to promptly address them. I know that all Fifth District MPD members will join me in this endeavor, ensuring that the 5D community will have our continued commitment to providing a safe and secure environment.
