Welcome From Captain Mary Warnecke

Dear Citizens,

The Sixth District is made up of 13 diverse neighborhoods and includes residential, commercial and industrial areas as well as a variety of parks.  We continue to work toward addressing the needs of all the uniquely different areas of the community. The officers of the Sixth District are committed to making our District a safe place to work, live and visit.  The community leaders and citizens of the Sixth District continue to be one of our greatest assets. The additional eyes and ears of concerned community members help us to better police the District.

We continue to be challenged by those individuals whose actions have a negative impact on our area. We work hard to concentrate on the people and places that threaten our community. We appreciate your continued support and will work diligently to make the Sixth District a safe community for all its residents.

Sincerely,

Captain Mary Warnecke
Commander, Sixth District
