According to Sheriff Dana Lawhorne, “We regularly provide the public with useful information through our website, civic association liaisons, newsletter and news releases, but using social media allows us to communicate quickly and directly with community members about the important work we do.”

The Sheriff’s Office staff monitor posts during regular business hours and attempt to respond to questions within the same business day. Users who need assistance after hours can call 703.746.4114 or 703.746.4099. Anyone needing emergency assistance should always call 911.
