Um Metrobuses and metro are connected. Even if not from Loudoun or prince William vermin is invited in from anywhere in the DMV. People who act like animals around the mall can drive or take a metro. Point is, it gives them easier access. here you go some newsfeed to educate yourself:

“When you have an increase in population you will also have an increase in crime,” said Fairfax County Deputy Chief of Police Ed Roessler, who accompanied Janickey at the presentation.
Janickey told supervisors that significant amounts of crime at Tysons is already committed by offenders living outside Northern Virginia, including organized crime rings from New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, as well as D.C. residents who, after being arrested, admitted to coming to the area by train to commit crimes.
Janickey added that the advent of the new Metro stations to the area will necessitate seven-day police coverage of the area. Roessler and Janickey estimate that the McLean District Station, currently staffed by 132 officers and 28 staff members, would need about 33 new positions, including 24 officers and another parking enforcement officer, preferably by the first part of 2014, to effectively accomplish this.
According to Roessler, in addition to a short-term need of additional officers, the long-term impacts of Tysons’ expected population increases over the next 40 years also will redefine how police will approach the area’s urbanization.
“Tysons Corner will ultimately need its own police station,” he said. “In addition, one-officer patrols will have to evolve into two-officer patrols, and we will have to begin initiating training in ‘vertical policing,’ which means officers will learn to effectively respond to increased calls on high floors of office and apartment buildings, as those in large cities do. We need to evolve with the urbanization of the Tysons Corner area, and maintain rapid response times within that atmosphere. ”
Toward that end, the Fairfax County Department of Public Works is already exploring the possibility of Tysons Corner being the target for the county’s first “fully urban” police station, which would be designed to be potentially housed in a mixed-use commercial/residential/retail environment, but still be able to allow police the resources they will need.
“We are strictly in an exploratory phase at this point, but we are looking at it,” said county spokesman Brian Worthy. “Public Works is working with architects and police station design consultants who have done this in other cities.”
According to Roessler, the future urbanization of Tysons Corner will usher in a whole new era of policing.
“Essentially we will go from having one-officer vehicle patrols to having more officers on bicycles, Segways and increased foot patrols,” he said. “A new urban station will also allow visitors to walk in when they need us, and allow officers to walk out the front door and start patrolling when they need to.”
