Alexandria Police Chief Tarrick McGuire is set to engage with the community through a series of in-person conversations aimed at gathering input and feedback on public safety and the operations of the Alexandria Police Department (APD). The first session will take place in Arlandria on Friday, December 27, 2024, from 6-7 p.m. at St. Rita Catholic School Cafeteria, located at 3801 Russell Road.

Upon assuming his role as Chief of Police, McGuire introduced a 100-Day Action Plan that emphasizes collecting feedback from both internal and external stakeholders. This initiative is part of his commitment to collaborative community policing and aims to incorporate diverse perspectives into the department's future strategies. Community members are encouraged to attend these sessions to engage directly with Chief McGuire.

“As the department considers strategies to address public safety action items, it’s critical we have our community stakeholders, residents, business owners, and operators at the table so we move forward with a shared vision and ownership in the plan, as One Alexandria and One APD,” stated Alexandria Chief of Police Tarrick McGuire.

The APD has pledged to work collaboratively with the community based on the feedback received during these conversations. They aim to keep residents informed about plans and progress while maintaining transparency and accountability for results.

For those interested in future dates for these conversations, updates will be available through the Alexandria Police Department's social media channels on Facebook, Instagram, and X.
