Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use American English Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox officeholder Frederick H. Bealefeld III (born 1962 or 1963) is an American former police officer who served as commissioner of the Baltimore Police Department from 2007 to 2012.

Early life

Bealefeld was born in 1962 or 1963. One of his great-grandfathers and grandfathers served the Baltimore Police Department. He graduated from Chesapeake High School in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, and went to Anne Arundel Community College before dropping out due to a broken collar bone preventing him from getting a lacrosse scholarship.

Career

After dropping out, Bealefeld joined the Baltimore Police Department on May 11, 1981. He was the chief of the Criminal Investigation Division until Commissioner of the Baltimore Police Department Leonard Hamm promoted Bealefeld to deputy commissioner to replace Marcus Brown, who left for the Maryland Transportation Authority Police, on January 29, 2007.

Following Hamm's resignation on July 19, 2007, Mayor of Baltimore Sheila Dixon was expected to name Bealefeld acting commissioner, however other potential candidates included Errol Dutton, deputy commissioner for administration at the Baltimore Police Department, Jesse B. Oden, head of the Baltimore housing division, Antonio Williams, the chief of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County police department, Barry W. Powell, former deputy commissioner of the Baltimore Police Department, and Eddie Compass, the former superintendent of the New Orleans Police Department. Dixon picked Bealefeld as acting commissioner the same day and revealed that she asked Hamm to resign because she "wasn't feeling that drive like I wanted to" and was impressed with Bealefeld. She also revealed that Bealefeld had been the de facto commissioner for a few months.

Bealefeld announced that he would resign as commissioner on August 1, 2012, to spend more time with his family. While he was commissioner, gun crime reduced by 24 percent and, in 2011, Baltimore had its lowest homicide rate in 35 years. On August 28, 2012, Mayor of Baltimore Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced the appointment of Anthony Batts, the former chief of the Oakland Police Department, as commissioner to replace Bealefeld.

Personal life

Bealefeld married his wife, Linda, in 1982 or 1983. They have two children, Frederick IV (born 1991 or 1992) and Erica (born 1995 or 1996). His younger brother, Charles, is a homicide detective.
