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.
In north Georgia and south Tennessee, Union and Confederate armies clashed September 19-20, 1863, near Chattanooga, Tennessee. General William S. Rosecrans led the Union troops, while General Braxton Bragg led the Confederate forces. The battle was a victory for the Confederates, but it was also one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War with losses of 16,000 Union soldiers and 18,000 Confederate soldiers.
