Community Policing Statistics

Effective August 2024, the Commonwealth of Virginia went live with its new Community Policing Act data reporting site, "Beyond 20/20," named for the year the Act took effect. In accordance with the Act, each time a local law enforcement officer or Virginia State Police officer stops a driver of a motor vehicle, stops and frisks a person based on reasonable suspicion, or temporarily detains a person during any other investigatory stop, such officer shall collect the following data based on the officer's observation or information provided to the officer by the driver:

  • Race, ethnicity, age and gender of the person stopped and whether the person stopped spoke English.
  • Reason for the stop.
  • Location of the stop.
  • Whether a warning, written citation or summons was issued or whether any person was arrested.
  • If a warning, written citation or summons was issued or an arrest was made, the warning provided, violation charged or crime charged.
  • Whether the vehicle or any person was searched.
  • Whether the local law enforcement officer or Virginia State Police officer used physical force against any person and whether any person used physical force against any officers.

The Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office collects the required data and forwards it to the Virginia State Police for inclusion in the Virginia Community Policing Reporting Database. We are also required to post the data on a website that is available to the public locally. Accordingly, visitors to this webpage will see our statistics posted monthly, beginning with January 2024.
