“I want to recognize the exceptional work our detectives put into solving this gun crime. They spent countless hours following leads, interviewing witnesses, collecting evidence, and building a case that will help ensure justice is served. Their dedication reflects the commitment of the Alexandria Police Department to making our city safer.”
“But law enforcement cannot do it alone. Public safety is a shared responsibility. I am asking every member of our community to take ownership of what happens in your neighborhoods. If you know someone who is illegally possessing a firearm or engaging in violent criminal activity, don’t ignore it or make excuses for it. Speak up. Report it. Too many lives are being changed forever because people choose to look the other way. Together, we can reduce gun violence by refusing to tolerate illegal guns and those who use them to harm others. It takes all of us working together to make Alexandria a safer place to live.” — Alexandria Police Chief Chad Gremillion
