Kevin Clark is a former commissioner of the Baltimore Police Department, who held the position from early 2003 until November 2004.
 A former NYPD officer, Clark's term as police commissioner was strained with both the mayor and police department as Clark was involved in domestic issues and an unpopular turnover of veteran officers such as former Major Gary D'Addario.
 He was fired by then-mayor Martin O'Malley, resulting in a lawsuit in which he sought $120 million in damages and fought to get back his job.
 O'Malley's justification for the firing had been that these accusations were distracting to his duties as a commissioner.
Kevin M. Tucker (June 21, 1940 – June 19, 2012) was an American police commissioner of the Philadelphia Police Department from 1986 to 1988.
 Tucker was appointed police commissioner by Philadelphia Mayor Wilson Goode in 1986 in the aftermath of the 1985 MOVE bombing and a separate corruption scandal.
 Tucker is credited with implementing police department reforms, including the reintroduction of foot patrols, which are still used as of 2012.
 He stepped down as commissioner in 1988 for a position in the private sector.
John Francis Timoney (July 2, 1948 – August 16, 2016) was an American policeman and law enforcement executive.
 He served as Chief of the Miami Police Department from 2003-10.
 He was previously Commissioner of the Philadelphia Police Department (1998–2002) and held a variety of positions with the New York Police Department (1967–96), including its Chief of Department (senior sworn/uniformed position) and First Deputy Commissioner (second position).
 He worked for the Ministry of the Interior of Bahrain as a police consultant.
 Timoney drew both international praise and criticism for his handling of mass protests.
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), officially the City of Los Angeles Police Department, is the law enforcement agency for the city of Los Angeles, California, United States.
 With 9,843 officers and 2,773 civilian staff, it is the third-largest municipal police department in the United States, after the New York City Police Department and the Chicago Police Department.
 The department serves an area of 498 sqmi and a population of 4,030,904 people.
The Baltimore Police Department (BPD) provides police services to the City of Baltimore, Maryland.
 It was originally organized in 1784, after the United States gained independence, as a "nightwatch" and a force of day "Constables".
 It was officially established by the Maryland Legislature on March 16, 1853, and reorganized in 1857 by Mayor Thomas Swann of Baltimore.
 It is the eighth-largest police force in the US and is organized into ten districts: nine based on geographical areas and the Public Housing Section.
 It polices 80.9 sqmi of land and 11.1 sqmi of waterways.
 The department is sometimes referred to as the Baltimore City Police Department to distinguish it from the Baltimore County Police Department.
Charles H. Ramsey (born 1950) is the former Commissioner of the Philadelphia Police Department.
 Prior to assuming that post in January 2008, he had served as Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia (MPDC) from 1998 to early 2007.
 In January 2017, he became a regular CNN contributor.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is the police department of the City of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, US.
 With 1,849 officers and 473 civilian staff as of 2014, covering an area of 438 sqmi with a population of nearly 900,000, it is the largest police department between Washington D.C. and Atlanta, Georgia.
 The CMPD is unique in that it was formed in 1993 with the merger of the former Charlotte City Police Department and the Mecklenburg County Rural Police Department.
 Mecklenburg and neighboring Gaston County were the two counties out of the state's 100 counties to have county police in addition to the sheriff's offices.
 County police perform law enforcement tasks in the county with police powers anywhere in the county just like the sheriff, but the sheriff primarily handled the courts and jails.
 The North Carolina General Assembly approved legislation combining the two agencies.
 They are by statute "county police" in that they have jurisdiction anywhere in Mecklenburg County.
 However currently, the CMPD does not have any response areas outside Charlotte but within Mecklenburg County.
 The unique status of this situation makes the CMPD "metro" police, and the City of Charlotte has no municipal police department.
The Charleston Police Department, or CPD, is the official municipal police force for the City of Charleston, West Virginia.
 The Charleston Police Department is currently the second largest police department in the state of West Virginia, while being the largest municipal/city police department in the state.
 As of 2008, Charleston Police currently has 184 sworn officers, 2 Animal Control Officers, and 29 civilian employees.
 The Charleston Police Department has an organization of several different divisions, including a Patrol Division, Traffic Division, SWAT, Bicycle Unit, K-9 Unit, Community Policing & School Services Division, SEU or Special Enforcement Unit, and CID or Criminal Investigation Division.
 The current Chief of Police is Brent Webster.
The Municipal Integrated Emergency Response Team (MIERT) was an emergency response unit formed as a joint venture of police agencies in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada.
 It was formed in 2006 and is composed of members of the Delta Police Department, the Abbotsford Police Department, the New Westminster Police Service, and the Port Moody Police Department.
 In 2013 the MIERT was disbanded and the Abbotsford Police Department formed its own Emergency Response Team.
 The remaining services have decided to either combine or contract their teams with the Vancouver Police Department (Delta Police Department, Port Moody Police Department) or contract with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (New Westminster Police Service).
