That is one of the two Fairfax County Police Department helicopters, aka "Fairfax One." The officers/pilots keep their flight hours up by flying over every convenience store theft, petty crime, and "suspicious person" found in some neighborhoods.
At $2,000+ per hour, at least they were flying over Kingstowne, inside Fairfax County.
They often are sent to Montgomery, Arlington, Loudoun, Prince William, Prince Georges counties, in addition to various cities. Fairfax County receives no compensation for the free helicopter service (including medevac medical transport) Fairfax County provides to these other Counties/Cities.
Keep your tax dollars rolling into Fairfax County and don't forget to write the next checks--Car Tax in October, and second Real Estate Tax in November! Prince William County et al is depending on your support so they don't have to spend money on their own helicopter service.
