Best Answer

Yes, Teddy Roosevelt served as a Police Commissioner of New York City from 1895 to 1897. At the time, the city had not one, but four to six Police Commissioners at any given time. Roosevelt himself was responsible for consolidating the board of commissioners to a single office held by one man.

During his time as Police Commissioner, Roosevelt was not just a commissioner, but the superintendent of the board of commissioners.
