A Fairfax County police officer at the National Police Motorcycle Rodeo in 2007.
Police in Fairfax County, Va., are about to meet with a committee tasked with investigating law enforcement accountability in the wake of a high-profile officer shooting. The committee recently released a report calling for immediate changes at the department, which is also taking heat about the transparency of a recent investigation into the death of inmate at the county jail who was tased. We explore new developments in the local debate over police accountability.
