In April 2003, he was assigned as the Commanding Officer of the Hollenbeck Community Police Station to command a size-able division of police officers, detectives and civilian employees.

Following this assignment, Captain Fierro was designated as the Commanding Officer of Detective Headquarters Division. He oversaw the command of a large group of sworn and civilian personnel who are responsible for a variety of functions such as threat management, court liaison, missing persons investigation, mental health, firearms control and enforcement, and detective information.

Prior to his assignment as Captain, he was Officer-in-Charge, Recruit Training Section, Officer-in-Charge Tactics Training Section and Adjutant-Office of Operations. He worked in the capacity of Sergeant, Senior Lead Officer, and Watch Commander in seven different patrol divisions.

Captain Fierro was a West Point Instructor for the West Point Leadership Program and is a past Board Member for the Hispanic Law Enforcement Administrators (HLEA).

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Captain Fierro has a dedication and commitment to the citizens and businesses that make up this diverse city.
