The Arlington County Police Department has adopted a geographic-based policing philosophy. Officers will be responsible for most police services provided to the community to include response to both emergency and non-emergency calls for service, preliminary criminal investigations, special event planning and school liaison. Members of ACPD also work on a regular basis with our state, regional and federal law enforcement partners.
Our mission is the reduction of the incidence of crime and the improvement of the quality of life in Arlington County by making it a place where all people can live safely and without fear.
