Ashburn Village welcomed the newest community policing station in July, 2005. Ashburn is the seventh neighborhood served by the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office Community Policing Unit; the other communities include Sterling Park, Sugarland Run, Newberry, CountrySide, Pembrook and South Townhouses.
The Sheriff’s Office instituted Community Policing in 2000 to personalize police service. Community Policing involves the citizen in an effort to improve the quality of life and reduce crime in the communities. Community Policing works on the concept that law enforcement and the people need to begin to communicate again and in fact build relationships and partnerships with a mutual feeling of ownership to a community or neighborhood.
Deputy Specialist J. J. Davis who is assigned to the Ashburn Village unit, attends monthly Board meetings where he is available to hear concerns and issues from Village residents. He also provides a monthly crime readout and report to the Board. Deputy Davis also attends Neighborhood Watch meetings which are held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at the Lakes Recreation Center, located on Cheltenham Circle, at 7:00 p.m. (meeting dates and time are subject to change due to foot and vehicle patrol availability). At these meetings he provides information of interest to committee volunteers as well as providing general assistance.
The Community Policing office can be reached at 703-729-0581, ext. 123 or via e-mail at.
Community Policing Action Request Form
Community Policing Action Request forms and drop-boxes are available inside the Sports Pavilion and outside the front door of the AVCA office on Courtland Drive. These forms can be used by homeowners to report concerns. Deputy Davis will then follow-up with the homeowner.

And an Important 9-1-1 Reminder...
While Community Policing works with the Board and Neighborhood Watch Committee to ensure a great quality of life in Ashburn Village, RESIDENTS SHOULD ALWAYS DIAL 9-1-1 IN A LIFE THREATENING EMERGENCY SITUATION. COMMUNITY POLICING IS NOT A REPLACEMENT OR SUBSTITUTE FOR DIALING 9-1-1. |
