First District Commander's Letter Commander Daniel P. Hickson I am pleased to announce that I have been appointed by Chief Cathy Lanier to serve as Commander of the First District. I will take over Command of the First District on Sunday, June 19, 2011. Prior to taking this position, I served as Commander of the Criminal Investigations Division, where I had the privilege of commanding a group of outstanding detectives and managers who are known nationwide for their excellence and innovative investigative techniques. This new assignment will give me an opportunity to go full circle and return to the First District, which was my original assignment as an officer 36 years ago. I look forward to serving you in my new role and meeting with you during community meetings and during my patrol of the First District. Daniel P. Hickson First District Commander
