Johnathan (Jack) E. Ingersoll (October 31, 1929 – January 12, 2023) was an American police officer and federal law enforcement agent. He was the first Chief of Police in Charlotte, North Carolina to use computers on the job. Ingersoll was the only Director of the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (BNDD), and resigned amid the Watergate scandal.[1] The BNDD was merged into the Drug Enforcement Administration two days after he departed from the government.[2]
