Is it my imagination or are most Fairfax County police officers white? (not minority)

Is it my imagination or are most Fairfax County police officers white? (not minority) If I'm not mistaken, this county has really really diverse
population(race/nationality/etc....) However, I've lived here for almost
17 years and I've only seen non-Caucasian officers twice.

Which department at FCPD can provide me with statistics on this? (or perhaps
on their website?

This question popped into my head when I saw that the NYPD publishes this
type of info on their website...

Just curious....

I think it depends on the district from what I've seen.

Franconia District has a few black/hispanic officers where as West Springfield is mostly all white.

They are mostly white, once in awhile you will see a asian or black cop, but they have to mix it up a little bit.

West Springfield is mostly all white.

The captain of the WS station is african american. There is an african american lieutenant, another african american officer, at least one korean officer, a hispanic officer...and that's obviously not everyone who isn't white there.

Four of the eight station captains are female. Women are still a minority in the police world, as you probably know.

My overall point is, of course there's a lot of white officers on the force, but it's not a complete majority.

I tried finding a breakdown of the force by ethnicity but couldn't find it online. Perhaps the FCPD public information office has the information you're looking for? 703-246-2253

If you're being PC, shouldn't that be "korean american" or, more general, "asian american" and "hispanic american". They are Americans, right?

For that matter, could you please refer to caucasians as "european americans" since that is where the overwhelming majority of them have roots. Instead of american indians, "american americans"?! You get my point - were all americans first (well except for those 12million that congress doesn't know what to do with). I don't understand why "african americans" get any special recognition of their ancestors homeland and no other races do. Maybe, some of those "african americans" are really "australian americans" or from other continents all together - "antarctic american"?!

I use the terms I used because I've been told by people of those ethnicities that they prefer them. Not because it's "PC."

I don't call white people "caucasian american" because I'm white and refer to white people as "white." The "american indian" people I know prefer to be called "native americans" so if I were referring to them, I'd use that term; as silly as it is, considering I am native to america. But really, who cares? LOL

Why do you care? As long as they are fair, and do there job. I don't think their race should come in to play.

I don't know, but I think most police officers in PG County are white, based on what I see on TV. In fact, they must be the only white people in PG County.
