On February 6th, 2017, Patrick A Burke accepted the position of the Executive Director of the Washington DC Police Foundation after finishing a term as the U.S. Marshal for the District of Columbia, a position he was appointed to by President Obama after serving as the former Assistant Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department of D.C. (MPDC).
Burke was nominated by President Obama in February 2016 to the post of U.S. Marshal for D.C., and the U.S. Senate voted to confirm his appointment in May 2016. As the U.S. Marshal in D.C., Burke had oversight over security details for 145 Federal Judges, the fugitive unit and warrant squad operations. Prior to that, Burke served in the MPDC for 27 years, where he attained the rank of Assistant Chief in the Strategic Services Bureau. He resigned as U.S. Marshal for D.C. last week to assume this position.
“I am excited to join the Foundation and lead its work supporting MPDC’s outreach to our city’s youth and forge closer ties with the community,” Burke says. “I was honored to serve in the department’s command, and look forward to supporting it in my new capacity. The Foundation provides incredible support to the men and women who serve in MPDC, and the work they do to keep our community safe.”
