The mission of FCCJA is to provide professional, innovative, and accessible training that prepares public safety personnel to effectively serve and protect the community. Through realistic and contemporary training programs, the Academy is committed to enhancing officer safety, ethical leadership, de-escalation, decision-making, and operational readiness while supporting the highest standards of public service and professionalism.

The Fairfax County Criminal Justice Academy (FCCJA) was established in 1985 with the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services to provide law enforcement and corrections training for Public Safety employees of Fairfax County and its member agencies.

Law Enforcement Training Unit (LETU)

The Law Enforcement Training Unit (LETU), operating under the command of FCCJA, is dedicated to training and developing incumbent officers through progressive, realistic, and contemporary instruction. LETU reviews body-worn camera (BWC) footage and operational incidents to identify training needs and develop evolving training programs focused on challenging uses of force, officer safety, decision-making, de-escalation, and effective public interactions. The unit is committed to preparing officers to meet the evolving demands of modern law enforcement while maintaining professionalism, accountability, and public trust.

Firearms Range

FCCJA operates its own firearms range to support the training and qualification of recruits and incumbent officers. The range provides a controlled and professional environment for firearms instruction, tactical training, skills development, and ongoing proficiency to ensure officers maintain the highest standards of safety, accuracy, and operational readiness.

Emergency Vehicle Operations Center (EVOC)

FCCJA maintains its own Emergency Vehicle Operations Center (EVOC), featuring a 1.1-mile driving track designed to provide realistic driver training for recruits and incumbent officers. The facility supports emergency vehicle operations instruction, pursuit management, precision driving, and scenario-based vehicle training to enhance officer safety, driving proficiency, and operational preparedness under a variety of roadway and emergency response conditions.
