History and Purpose:

In 1979, the Fairfax County Police Department established a program to enhance its ability to communicate with and better serve the community. This program took the form of advisory groups, known as Citizen Advisory Committees (CACs), comprised of citizens representing a cross-section of the various neighborhoods of Fairfax County. Each of the eight district police stations formed its own CAC to work hand-in-hand with the station commander on issues confronting that particular district.

The purpose of the CAC is to:

1. Provide a forum for obtaining citizen input about the delivery of police services.
2. Provide a formalized process that will facilitate citizen and community cooperation with the police.
3. Identify specific and potential problem areas concerning the police.
