Frederick K. Heineman (December 28, 1929 – March 20, 2010)[1] was an American law enforcement officer and politician who one term served as a Republican U.S.

Heineman served in the United States Marine Corps from 1951 to 1954, and worked as a New York City police officer between 1955 and 1979.

He served for 15 years, a time when Raleigh began an explosive period of growth that continues today.

He promoted many women and minorities to senior positions for the first time, and cut a distinct figure with his thick New York accent.

[4] He came under fire when he claimed that despite making a combined $183,000 from his NYPD and Raleigh pensions and his congressional salary, he was part of the "lower middle class."
