I am honored to introduce myself to you as the Acting Commander of the Mason District Station. With nearly two decades of dedicated service within the Fairfax County Police Department, I bring a wealth of experience, particularly in addressing violent crimes and leading investigations.
Throughout my career, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of collaboration between law enforcement and the communities we serve. It is this conviction that I immediately step into this role, with a commitment to fostering an environment of trust, transparency, and mutual respect between the police department and our community members.
As we enter into the spring season, I wanted to take a moment to connect with you all and express our commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of our community.
The past months have presented various challenges, but I am continually inspired by the resilience and unity displayed by our community members. Together, we have overcome obstacles and worked diligently to foster a safer environment for everyone.
As your Mason District Commander, I want to emphasize our unwavering dedication to serving and protecting each and every one of you. We recognize the importance of collaboration and communication in achieving our shared goal of a safer community.
In the coming weeks and months, we will continue to prioritize community engagement initiatives, such as neighborhood patrols, community meetings, and outreach programs. These efforts are essential in building trust and fostering positive relationships between law enforcement and the community.
Additionally, I encourage all community members to remain vigilant and proactive in reporting any suspicious activities or concerns promptly. Your involvement is crucial in helping us address and prevent potential threats to our safety.
Together, we can make a difference. By working hand in hand, we can create a safer, stronger, and more resilient community for ourselves and future generations.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership.

Scam Jam 2024
Join us to learn how you can fight back against con artists. Con artists don’t care how hard you’ve worked for your money. They steal billions of dollars from hard-working Americans every year. With advances in artificial intelligence (AI), scams can be hard to identify. Criminals make it hard to spot fraud by using AI to mimic voices, alter photos, and avoid spelling and grammar mistakes.
That’s why AARP Virginia and Fairfax County’s Silver Shield Task Force invite you to the 7th Annual Scam Jam. This year's Scam Jam will feature Stephen Ruth and Jane King. Ruth is a professor of Public Policy at Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University. Location & Time: April 19th Click Here to Register!
