On this day 25 years ago I reported to APD HQ on Mill Road for my first day of work in the 911 Center. It’s been one crazy ride with many adventures. I’m truly grateful for it all and the opportunities its afforded me to care for my family. Thank you Alexandria! 💜

[APD_Fard @sfardAPD]

@ConstableXL Good luck and enjoy.

Happy 150th, APD! Always an honor to serve -- and celebrate -- with you! #AlexPD150th

[Alexandria Police @AlexandriaVAPD]

Today is our 150th Anniversary! Thank you to all of our current and former employees--your work & dedication has meant so much to us. The image is the earliest known pic (1883) of APD. It shows 17 officers standing in front of the building that housed the Department until 1959.

@LawgalUS Sorry for the late response. Thank you for passing on the information. We appreciate it.

@AlexVASheriff Didn’t know that his name on the wall is so close to @AlexandriaVAPD Eugene Yoakum’s name. 💙

[APD_Fard @sfardAPD]

@eng520ine @AlexandriaVAPD Thank you. All good so far. Biggest challenge so far has been fighting off the urge to itch of my nose! You as well.

[APD_Fard @sfardAPD]

Stay safe everybody.

[Alexandria Police @AlexandriaVAPD]

It is with a heavy heart and deep regret, we report the passing of former Alexandria Chief of Police Charles Samarra. He was our Chief of Police for sixteen years from 1990-2006. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.

We ran into the Apostle of Ireland on King Street and got a group photo. @AlexandriaVAPD

@AndStrats @AlexandriaVAPD St. Patrick? 🤷‍♂️

This week we laid wreaths at @ArlingtonNatl to remember @USMC Cpl. Charles H. Grimm, KIA at #IwoJima75 & WWI vet & @AlexandriaVAPD fallen officer Pvt. A. Pierce killed in the line of duty on 9/7/30. We also laid a wreath at #tombofunknown to commemorate #AlexPD150th

On Dec. 16, 1974, Gwendolyn Robbins became the first African American woman police officer in Alexandria. After a successful career, she retired as a Lieutenant in April 1996. She was loved by the community and referred to as "Christie Love" #AlexPD150th #BlackHistoryMonth2020

[APD_Fard @sfardAPD]

During #BlackHistoryMonth we will recognize the trailblazers in APD's history. APD's first black Officer was Al Beverly who was also the first in the #DMV

In 2005 we celebrated the 40th anniversary of Al's courageous breakthrough #AlexPD150th https://t.co/jqmqgqkf73

[Alexandria Police @AlexandriaVAPD]

A round of applause is in order! Our police cruisers are decked out for the 150th Anniversary of the Alexandria Police Department! Looking very nice indeed! If you see our new #AlexPD150th logo, snap a pic and tag us!

@FJBthegreat @AlexandriaVAPD @AlexandriaVAPF @AlexVASheriff @CampKekokaYMCA I wish too, unfortunately not. Back in the 1940’s the 97 acres in Kilmarnock, Va only cost the officers $10,500.

[APD_Fard @sfardAPD]

Community policing is rooted in our history & is a mission that continues today. In 1947 APD Officers purchased 97-Acres to start Alex. Police Youth Camp. Thx to the Christmas Tree sales supporters, camp continues to serve our youths because of you. #AlexPD150th #FlashbackFriday
