The mission of the Fairfax County Police Department is to prevent and fight crime. Through our highly engaged community, we maintain our reputation as the safest major jurisdiction in the United States. A few weeks ago, the Chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, Sharon Bulova, formed a committee comprised of community stakeholders to assist me and the Superintendent of the Fairfax County Public Schools, Dr. Scott Braband, in an effort to co-produce a revision to our Memorandum of Understanding for the role of police officers who serve as School Resource Officers in all our middle and high schools. I fully support this endeavor as we are all focused on keeping our children safe in their learning environments. We will collectively revise our policies and ensure those policies have the best interests of our children at heart. Our childrens’ safety is of paramount importance.
