Captain David Roger Eike (July 18, 1924 – January 9, 1972) was a Fairfax County Police officer.
Eike was born in Woodbridge. Eike was married to Nancy T. Eike, and they had two children, David, Jr. and Lisa Anne Eike.
Eike enlisted in the army on March 27, 1943. After serving as a military policeman and prison guard, Eike joined the FCPD on September 1, 1950.[1][2] After two years on the job, Eike was promoted to detective in November 1952.
In July 1955, Detective Eike was given command of the newly formed Juvenile Squad.[3] While still commanding the Juvenile Squad, Eike was promoted to detective sergeant in February 1957.
He was promoted to Lieutenant in 1958, and worked as administrative assistant to Chief William L. Durrer.
During a physical examination in preparation to enter the FBI Academy in 1960, Eike learned that he had kidney disease. His kidneys failed completely in 1963, forcing Eike to undergo the then-new procedure of kidney dialysis twice weekly.
Despite his health problems, Eike continued to work as a Fairfax County Police officer, receiving a promotion to captain in 1966, and finally retiring in 1970 after 20 years of service.
Following his retirement from FCPD, Eike worked as public relations director for the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority.[6]
On January 2, 1972, Eike underwent a kidney transplant, but died a week later.
