Isaac "Ike" Fulwood Jr. (April 28, 1940 – September 1, 2017) was an American police officer who served as the Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia from July 1989 until September 1992.[1] Chief Fulwood inherited a city plagued by high crime, a record homicide rate, as well as the height of the crack epidemic.[1] His tenure was also marked by a strained relationship with Mayor Marion Barry, as Barry was arrested on federal drug charges just five months after Fulwood's appointment as police chief.[1]
