The first law enforcement person for the Town of Fredericksburg (Fredericksburg's Charter was for a town not a city) was called a "Town Sergeant". On March 21st, 1821, the Town Sergeant was changed to the Sergeant of the Corporation. Then, at the last decade, a well known Mr. John Conway Chichester took over the role of Sergeant. He was, to the best of our knowledge, in charge of the Fire Department and Police Department and was under the authority of the City Mayor.
