• Community Engagement: The Sheriff’s Office participated in more than 30 community events, hosted its inaugural volunteer appreciation luncheon, and launched a quarterly community newsletter. Events included National Night Out, Trunk-or-Treats, and youth outreach efforts such as story time at local libraries and youth soccer tournaments.
• Staff Development and Wellness: In 2024, ACSO welcomed 21 new deputy sheriffs, implemented its first internal mentorship program, and provided over 30,000 hours of training. Two new K9s - Hope, a wellness dog, and Weaver, an explosives detection dog - joined the agency. K9 Logan made history as Virginia’s first dual-certified electronics and narcotics detection canine.
• Judicial and Civil Services: The Judicial Services Division screened over 251,000 individuals entering the courthouse, handled more than 29,000 civil process attempts, and executed over 1,100 evictions while ensuring the safe transportation of over 2,000 individuals.
