Best Way For Fairfax County Police To Send A Message To The Board of Supervisors
With the chiefs actions against an officer who used a spray to take a man of violence into custody whom the officer knew well as to his demeanor and criminal actions
To also respond to the current new wave of "lets disband or defund police" for unconstitutional acts that occurred in Minnesota while peacefully and legally protesting their attacks against loyal law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line everyday to protect and serve the public sometimes to the point that their watch ends forever leaving their families and friends to grieve
Simply apply to become a Fairfax County Firefighter . When a thousand applications of current FCPD officers apply for the FCFD in short time that will shake and wake some people up to the facts that FCPD had nothing to do with what happened in Minnesota . And it will not happen here in Fairfax County as well as the fact the citizens of Fairfax need their FCPD officers .
The downside is that a few lucky officers will get in to the FCFD, and then they will enjoy the 24 hour shifts and move to bigger pastures farther from Fairfax when life is not so hectic or expensive as they will commute not after typical 10 hour shifts with roll calls but only every 24 hours
Additionally offers should note that they want to be cross trained so some day Fairfax might create a needed New York City style Special Operations " Emergency Services Unit" ESU for short that uses heavy trucks as patrol vehicles packed with police equipment to handle mass shootings snipers bomb threats the works as well as all types of heavy rescue firefighting equipment such as jaws of life and air bags to extract people from mass transit and truck/car wrecks, ropes and get to get people trapped in elevators on tower cranes bridges and other difficult situations as well as responding to fires and being able to rapidly assist at emergency scenes as a police officer firefighter or EMT when manpower is needed badly
New York City's ESU officers are cross trained and sworn as police officers firefighters and EMT's they are the police equivalent of US Navy Seals to the military . Such a unit of 50 to 100 officers would be a valuable life saving asset to the people of Fairfax County

"Emergency Service Unit (ESU) responds to a wide range of calls for assistance, including people threatening to jump off bridges or buildings, people stuck in elevators, barricaded perpetrators, and hostage situations. ESU supports all department initiatives and provides assistance to every patrol command, as well as Federal and State law enforcement authorities. Because of their knowledge, experience, and reputation for excellence, they are often called upon to assist with emergencies in other jurisdictions, having deployed to Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, Louisiana, and the Dominican Republic in recent years. ESU is also part of FEMA's Urban Search and Rescue New York Task Force 1. ESU oversees the following units:
