Assuming the role of commander of the Fifth District is an honor and a privilege. As a second-generation Metropolitan Police Department officer, I’m no stranger to the city’s rich history. My father and uncle – who were both police officers at MPD – had a strong influence on my joining the best department in the country. My leadership will focus on prioritizing this community’s most pressing needs and collaborating with our partners to promptly address them. I am certain that all of the members in the Fifth District will join me in this endeavor, ensuring the 5D community will have our continued commitment in providing a safe and secure environment. I look forward to meeting and working with all of you.
Commander Shawn Rooney
