As the Chief of Police, I want to welcome everyone to the Davenport Police Department website. The Davenport Police Department is one of the finest law enforcement agencies in America. We are the only nationally accredited (CALEA) police department in the QuadCities, and the largest accredited agency in Iowa.
The commander in chief of the Confederate Army was Jefferson Davis, who was also the president of the Confederate States of America from 1861 to 1865. There were many Confederate Army leaders that served under Jefferson Davis.
He was one of the foremost Confederate generals of the American Civil War and the principal subordinate to General Robert E. Lee. He served under Lee as a corps commander for many of the famous battles fought by the Army of Northern Virginia in the Eastern Theater, but also with General Braxton Bragg in the Army of Tennessee in the Western Theater.
