The Northern District stationhouse is the newest of the city’s nine district stationhouses, having been completed in July of 2001 and located at 2201 West Coldspring Lane.
The district has 52 recognized neighborhoods with over 70 active community associations. The district is home to the world-renowned Johns Hopkins University Homewood Campus. Other higher learning institutions located within the district include Loyola College and the College of Notre Dame. The Northern District is also home to many high-quality public and private grade schools. Those institutions and organizations, combined with the quiet urban neighborhoods, have attracted and retained residents from many parts of the country and the world.

Officer Walter Erdman

Joined the department in 1946 and was assigned to the Northern District, just one year before his dad Maurice Erdman retired.

His dad won the Roll Of Honor for receiving severe injuries in 1914 and almost dying..

After his dad’s retirement Walter was given the same badge that his dad had worn for 40 years.

Badge #632 served Walter for another 30 plus years.

After seventy years service the badge showed extreme wear. Officer Walter Erdman also carried his dad’s night stick.
