The fact that Fairfax County vastly under reports its violent crime rate (and has done so for many, many years) is an open secret.
For example, the "official" number of homicides in Fairfax County in 2014 was 10, but the actual number was closer to 50. The puts Fairfax on a par with Prince Georges County, which is slightly smaller but had more homicides (54 in 2014).
The reason Fairfax County under reports its crime rate is simple: money. If people knew how how much crime was actually going on in the county, there'd be a mass exodus by the six-figure income crowd.
