The Alexandria Police Department (APD) is the primary law enforcement agency servicing 155,810[2] people within {{convert|15.4|sqmi|km2}} of jurisdiction within Alexandria, Virginia. The APD has been internationally accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) since 1986, and was re-accredited in 1991, 1996, 2001, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016.[3] The APD has 315 sworn officers and 152 civilian employees. New officers are trained at the Northern Virginia Criminal Justice Training Academy.[4]

Jurisdiction

City of Alexandria police officers have jurisdiction of Virginia crimes and crimes legislated by the City of Alexandria local government.[5] Physical jurisdiction extends 1 mile into neighboring jurisdictions of Arlington County and Fairfax County.[6]

History

Night watchmen and constables were employed by the city since 1797 with the starting pay of $150 dollars annually.[7]

The Alexandria Police Department was founded on July 15th, 1870. When the city authorized a formal police department, the board of police elected a captain, a lieutenant, and 19 patrolmen. All officers were issued star-shaped tin badges, but they had to supply their own uniforms and guns.[7]

In 1918, the Alexandria Police Department founded the Motor Unit with the purchase of one Harley-Davidson motorcycle for use in answering emergency calls.[8]

On September 11, 2001 the Alexandria Police Department responded to the Pentagon in response to the September 11 attacks as mutual aid to support the Arlington County Police Department, the jurisdiction in which the attacks occurred.[9]

Chief David P. Baker (appointed in 2006) was arrested on July 25, 2009 for drunk driving after crashing his official vehicle in neighboring Arlington County, Virginia.[10] Baker resigned on July 28[10] and was replaced by Deputy Chief Earl L. Cook.[11] On October 1st 2016 Chief Earl Cook retired after 37 years and Deputy Chief David Huchler was appointed Interim Chief of Police while the IACP searched for a replacement.[12] On January 16th Michael L. Brown, former Chief of Police for the California Highway Patrol was announced as the successor to Earl Cook.

The department responded to shots fired on June 14th, 2017 to a quiet Del Ray neighborhood. Police Officers from both Alexandria and the US Capital Police Department shot and killed James Hodgkinson after a 10 minute gun battle with the assailant, an event that became known as the congressional baseball shooting. Hodgkinson was attempting to kill republican congressman who were practicing on Monroe street baseball field for the annual Congressional Baseball Game for Charity.

Three officers from the Alexandria Police Department received the Public Safety Officer Medal of Valor on July 27, 2017, in recognition of their heroism during the June 14 shooting incident at Eugene Simpson Stadium Park.[13] The Medal of Valor is the highest decoration for bravery exhibited by public safety officers in the United States.
