Police Headquarters

Metropolitan Police Headquarters—the Henry J. Daly Building—is located at 300 Indiana Avenue, NW—two blocks north of Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, between 4th and 5th Streets, NW. The building is named for Sergeant Henry J. Daly, a 28-year veteran of the Metropolitan Police Department who was killed November 22, 1994, by an armed intruder in the building. In a fitting tribute to this devoted homicide sergeant, the Council of the District of Columbia enacted DC Law 11-120, designating the Municipal Center as the Henry J. Daly Building.

The Daly Building houses most of the administrative units of the MPDC. At Headquarters, individuals can:
