Fairfax County Police Chief Search: The Future of Community Policing in Fairfax County 

Public safety is one of the most essential duties of government. After a summer of protest regarding police brutality and misconduct, Fairfax County residents have a unique opportunity to weigh in on the future of police leadership in their community. Join Fairfax Young Democrats and FCDC State & Local committee as we host a community forum on the search for the next police chief in Fairfax County. Hear guest panelists discuss the search process and what type of qualities make a successful police chief in this time.
