you got to put the value into a collection (list or so):

    var myData = new List<string>();
    while (dr.Read())
    {
        String policeid = dr.GetString(0);
        String fullname = dr.GetString(1);
        String result = policeid + " " + fullname;
        myData.Add(result);
    }

and then use it as you want - display the first/last/concatenated/etc....

EDIT:

display the concatenated string: 

    yourLabel.Text = myData.Aggregate((x,y)=> x + "; " + y);
