Safety Tips for Fairfax County Residents
As students head back to school in the coming weeks, drivers are reminded to keep children in mind when driving. School buses will once again be on the roads. Once the lights
and stop sign on a school bus are activated, other drivers on the road must stop their vehicles in both directions, unless they are separated from the bus by a physical median. Too
often, drivers pass a bus while it is loading or unloading our children. School bus drivers
routinely report drivers who pass them while stopped, and when a specific area becomes a
trouble spot, unmarked police cars will follow the buses on their routes and pull over any
driver who disobeys the law.
Other vehicle safety threats to children include aggressive drivers and those who speed,
especially in school zones and residential areas. Drivers must abide by the 25 mph speed
limit in school zones when the wink-o-matics are blinking. Fairfax County Police ask that
you watch for direction from crossing guards and safety patrols. To report aggressive
driving, visit https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/ps/police/traf_sfty_report.htm. Once a complaint
is made by a citizen about a driver, the aggressive driver receives a letter from the Fairfax
County Police Department advising the owner of the vehicle that the vehicle was observed
driving in an aggressive or reckless manner.
Another safety issue in Fairfax County is turning right at a red light. Before making a
right turn at a red light, you must stop, look for oncoming cars and pedestrians and then—
only when conditions permit—you can make the turn. Too many drivers are treating red
lights like yield signs…… which they are not.
National Night Out 2007 was a huge success in the Franconia District! Historically, there have been only a few planned activities throughout the district to
celebrate this night; this year there were 31 planned events …… and yes, these
events were visited by our captain, our neighborhood patrols, our crime prevention
officers, auxiliary police officers; as well as members of the Sheriff’s office participated! Activities ranged from ice cream socials to cookouts and potlucks to international feasts to simple gatherings.
Because it was such as success, we’re already looking
forward to next year!

My Neighborhood Police Incident Mapping
In June of 2007 Fairfax County released its My Neighborhood
Police Incident Mapping web application to the public, showcasing its capabilities at the Fairfax Fair. The Police Incident
Mapping portion of My Neighborhood has brought a visual repre
sentation of Fairfax County Police Department response to ac
tual calls for service to the citizens it serves in a timely fashion.
Police incident information, displayed on a map and in list format, is originally entered into the
County’s computer aided dispatch system by the Department of Public Safety Communications
(911 call center) and then processed into a format that allows the information to be shown on
a map, within 48 hours of the time the incident is reported.
Incidents displayed on the Police Incident Map are presented as symbols placed along the
street line segment in a location based on address and reported by the block number. Symbol
placement is not exact and should not be associated with the particular address near which it is
placed. Some incident types do not appear on the map and others are represented as part of a
broad category. This, along with the general placement of symbols, is done to protect the victims. Incident types included in the My Neighborhood Police Incident Mapping application were
determined through focus groups held with members of the Fairfax County community with
representation from each of the eight police districts and include: Assault, Burglary, Destruction, Drug Offense, Larceny, Noise Violation, Robbery, Peeping, Prowling, Sex Offense, Stolen
Vehicle and Vehicle Tampering.
Often when a call taker receives information from a citizen regarding the need for police response the original incident description may vary from what is discovered by responding officers. For instance, if a resident calls to report a stranger seen outside a neighbor’s home and
suspects that a burglary may be about to happen the call may be initially entered as a possible
burglary. When officers arrive and conduct their preliminary investigation they may determine
that the stranger was in fact a neighborhood youth who has broken a fence slat. In this example the map would display a destruction symbol rather than a burglary symbol.
By using the incident type associated with responding officer’s findings rather than the incident
type as perceived by callers the Police Incident Mapping allows users to see the most accurate
information available at the time that the call is closed. Users of the site are cautioned to keep
this in mind when accessing information appearing on the site. The data represented through
My Neighborhood Police Incident Mapping gives the user insight into what is occurring on a
given street or area. Please visit the My Neighborhood Police Incident Mapping at

Child Succumbs to Injuries in Bicycle vs. Vehicle
Crash…. An 11-year-old boy has died as a result of injuries
sustained when his bicycle collided with a car. Police were
called to the intersection of Bath Street and Essex Avenue in
the Springfield-area, on Tuesday, June 19 at 5:05 p.m. for the
crash. An investigation determined that the child, Nguyen
Tran of 6300 Dana Avenue, was riding his bike northbound on
Bath Street. A 45-year-old Springfield-area woman, driving a
2004 Toyota Corolla, was driving eastbound on Essex Avenue.
Nguyen failed to stop for the stop sign at the intersection and
rode into the pathway of the car, colliding with it. He was
medevaced to Children’s Hospital.
Nguyen Tran succumbed to his injuries during the evening
of Thursday, June 21.
Single Vehicle Fatal Crash…. Police investigated a
single car crash in the Springfield area on Sunday, July 1. The
crash occurred around 7:19 a.m. when the driver of a 2003,
Chevrolet Cavalier was in the westbound lane of Highland
Avenue. As the car attempted to negotiate a curve the wheels
struck the curb near 7221 Highland Avenue causing the
car to start rolling side over side. The vehicle made
several rotations striking a fire hydrant and a street sign
finally landing right side up near the intersection of
Highland Avenue and Hanover Street. The two occupants were ejected from the vehicle as neither wore seat
belts.
The female passenger, Thu-Thao Nguyen, 17, of 6303
Strawbridge Square Drive, in the Landmark area was pronounced dead at Inova Fairfax Hospital. The driver, a 17-year
old, Springfield-area male was transported to Inova Fairfax
Hospital with serious injuries. He has been charged with driving after illegally consuming alcohol. The investigation is
continuing and further charges are pending.
Speed and alcohol are considered to be factors in the crash.
Sunoco Gas Station Robbed…. On Saturday, July 7
just before 11 p.m., a man entered the Sunoco gas station at
7209 Little River Turnpike and announced a robbery. A 67year-old Alexandria-area man was working behind the counter
when the suspect asked for a pack of cigarettes. When the victim turned around, the suspect pulled out a gun and demanded
money. The victim handed over an undisclosed amount of
money and the suspect fled after ordering the victim to get on
the ground. There were no injuries.
The suspect was described as black, in his 20s. He was
about 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighed about 170 pounds. He
had medium-length hair and wore a gray, hooded sweat shirt
with black and white stripes, blue jean shorts and white tennis
shoes.

Major Incidents-continued
Man Charged After Domestic Dispute Leads to
Injury…. Police have charged a man for driving his truck
into an apartment building and assaulting a woman inside. Officers were called to the 4300 block of Ravensworth Road at 8
p.m. on Sunday, July 8, for the crash. An investigation determined that the two apartment occupants, a 51-year-old Annandale-area woman and a 41-year-old Alexandria-area woman,
were sitting inside the apartment when a 1987 Ford F-150 truck
crashed through the sliding glass door. One of the women was
successful in escaping and ran to a nearby apartment for help.
The second woman was unable to exit and was confronted by the
driver inside the apartment. The driver allegedly struck the
woman several times in the upper body with several tools he had
with him and then fled the apartment on foot.
Officers arrived and found both victims. A short time later
the suspect was located on Little River Turnpike near Backlick
Road. He displayed a knife and began to injure himself. Officers were forced to utilize a less-lethal device to gain control of
the suspect who was subsequently taken into custody.
One victim was transported to Inova Fairfax Hospital with
serious injuries. The suspect was also taken to Inova Fairfax
Hospital for self-inflicted injuries. The second victim did not
require medical treatment at the scene. It appears this incident
stemmed from an ongoing domestic dispute between the suspect
and one of the victims.
Joel Patrick Burris, 45, of 6409 Pima Street in Alexandria,
was charged with aggravated malicious wounding, attempted
aggravated malicious wounding, burglary while armed, destruction of property and hit and run.
Man Interrupts Burglary at Local Business…. A
man delivering papers interrupted a burglar this morning in the
6900 block of Braddock Road in the Springfield area. The man
was making his delivery at 4:10 a.m. on Tuesday, July 17, when
he noticed the front door of a dry cleaning business shattered and
a man walking around inside. The delivery man called police for
help. Responding officers searched the business but did not locate the suspect. An investigation determined the suspect fled
out the rear of the store prior to police arriving. Officers also
found two other businesses in the Bradlick Shopping Center that
were burglarized.
The suspect was described as black and in his 20s. He was
wearing a green shirt, blue jeans and a black hat.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Solvers at 1866-411-TIPS/8477 or Fairfax County Police at 703-691-2131.
Fatal Crash in Lorton…. A 55-year-old Lorton man died
in a crash around 8:45 p.m., on Monday, July 16. He was driving
a 1978 Ford F-150 north on Windemere Hill Drive when he lost
control of the truck. The F-150 left the roadway, ran over some
shrubs and swiped a fire hydrant. The vehicle re-entered the
roadway, crossed over Old Vicarage Street and struck a car
parked in a driveway in the 8300 block of Old Vicarage Street.
The impact pushed the parked car into that house. No one was
injured in the house. The driver of the truck was transported to
Potomac Hospital where he died.
Police have identified the 55-year-old driver of the truck as
Earl Coleman, of 8325 Dixon Street in Lorton. Early indications suggest Coleman had a medical emergency, which may
have contributed to his death. Investigation is ongoing.
Juvenile Assaulted in Franconia Area…. An
Alexandria-area juvenile was walking home and was allegedly
grabbed by a man. The 13-year-old victim was on the sidewalk
on Monday, July 23 at about 7:30 p.m. in the 5900 block of
Franconia Road when a man on a bicycle passed her in the
opposite direction. He got off of his bike and grabbed the victim from behind in a bear hug. The victim elbowed the suspect
and he fell to the ground. She was able to kick the suspect and
run away. The victim had no apparent injuries.
The suspect was described only as about 5 feet 9 inches tall
with short brown hair and a lot of freckles. He was wearing a
white baseball cap, blue jeans and possibly a white T-shirt.
1-866-411-TIPS(8477) or Fairfax County Police at 703-6912131.
Gas Station Clerk Robbed at Gunpoint…. A 32year-old Lorton-area man was robbed at gunpoint while working as a clerk at the Shell Gas Station at 8225 Gunston Corner
Lane in Lorton. The robbery occurred on Wednesday, July 25

money. The victim handed over an undisclosed amount of cash
and was not injured. The suspect fled in an unknown direction.

was approximately 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighed about 150
pounds. He was wearing a gray, hooded sweat shirt and blue
jeans.

Police Investigate Robbery of Pizza Delivery
Driver…. A 75 year-old Alexandria-area man was robbed
at gunpoint by three men who had apparently placed a bogus
order for a pizza. On Sunday, July 29, shortly after 11 p.m., the
victim drove to a home in the 9200 block of Heather Ridge
Court in the Lorton-area to deliver pizza. The occupants of the
home informed the driver they had not ordered a pizza. As the
victim walked back to his car, the three suspects jumped out
from behind a parked car, one brandished a hand gun and demanded money. The victim handed over an undisclosed
amount of cash and the pizza and was not injured. The suspects

Fatal Crash near Pohick Bay Regional Park….
A Marine was killed in a high speed motorcycle crash that occurred at the intersection of Gunston Road and Pohick Bay
Drive on Saturday, August 4 around 12:23 p.m. The 2001
Honda motorcycle operated by 20-year-old Lance Corporal
Alex Clay Morales, was traveling northbound on Gunston
Road, approaching the intersection of Pohick Bay Drive. A
1997 Honda Accord driven by a 54-year-old Lorton-area
woman was attempting to make a left turn onto Pohick Bay
Drive from southbound Gunston Road. As the car made the
left turn, the motorcycle struck the car with so much force it
flipped the Honda Accord sedan. Morales was killed in the
crash and the occupant of the car sustained minor injuries.
Investigation revealed excessive speed was a factor on the part
of the motorcyclist and no charges have been placed. Morales
was a United States Marine assigned to the Marine Barracks at
8th and I Streets in Washington D.C.

Reports of Police Impersonators Being Investigated
The Fairfax County Police Department has recently received three reports of possible police impersonators making traffic
stops in the county. The vehicle and driver descriptions are different in each case. The incidents have occurred on different
days of the week, at different times and different locations. Unmarked vehicles, with blue emergency lights flashing in the
dashboard were used in all three cases. The drivers of two of the vehicles were in casual clothes similar to those worn during
training. The third stop was made by a person wearing a blue/gray uniform with a shiny belt and badge, but no patches on the
sleeves. There were no other crimes committed and no injuries sustained during any of the traffic stops.
The Fairfax County Police Department encourages motorists to abide by all traffic laws. Officers are required to identify
themselves and at some point, explain the reason for the stop. If an unmarked vehicle displaying flashing blue lights attempts
to stop you in Fairfax County and you are uncertain as to the authenticity of the vehicle,

Police Impersonator Arrested
An alert, off-duty Fairfax County Police Officer noticed a man driving a brown, Ford Crown Victoria, place a blue
light in his dashboard and motion for other motorists to slow down and pull over. This incident occurred on
northbound interstate 95 just north of the Prince William County line on Thursday, July 19 shortly after 8 p.m. The
officer, traveling in his personal car, watched a man place a blue, police-style bubble light in his dashboard and pretend
to talk on a microphone similar to those used in police vehicles. The man would initially follow close behind a motorist, then
pull alongside and motion for the motorist to slow down. The suspect then did the same thing to the off-duty officer who was
able to copy down the suspect vehicle’s license plate and eventually obtain arrest warrants.
Michael G. Delong, 53, of 9210 Wright Hollow Lane in Lorton, was charged with impersonating a police officer an reckless
driving. He was transported to the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center.
Police do not believe this incident or the suspect is related to any other impersonating case being investigated by the Fairfax
County Police Department at this time.
Anyone with information regarding possible police impersonators is asked to call Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS/8477 or
Fairfax County Police at 703-691-2131.

Special Police Hotline Unveiled
The Fairfax County Police Department has established a special telephone hotline to handle an increasing number of citizen complaints about large commercial dumpsters and self-contained storage units, on the streets in their neighborhoods. The hotline number, 703-280-0583, is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Citizens of Fairfax County can alert police to a potential problem with the location of a commercial dumpster or self-contained storage unit on the street. This hotline should not be used
to report issues involving self-contained storage units on private property (i.e. in a neighbor’s driveway).
An investigator from the police department will respond to the reported location to assess the situation. If the investigator
determines that the container is in a location that creates a traffic hazard, it will be removed from the location immediately. The
container will be purged of its contents and stored by the Fairfax County Police Department.
If the container is not deemed to be a traffic hazard, but is in violation of Fairfax County Code Section 15.2-2018, the
owner of the container, not the homeowner, will be notified of the violation and will have four working days to remove it. If the
container is not removed within the allotted four-day period, the police department will have it removed.
In both scenarios, the cost incurred for removal and storage will be absorbed by the owner of the container, not the homeowner.
A summons will be issued or a warrant obtained for the owner of the container, at the time of the removal.

Burglaries Decrease; Overall Crime Barely Changes
Fairfax County experienced a slight increase in overall reported index crimes and showed progress in decreasing burglaries during the
first half of 2007 as compared to the first half of 2006. Index crimes include murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assaults, burglaries,
larcenies and motor vehicle thefts. Overall crime increased one percent through June of this year as compared to the same time last
year.
Burglaries showed a healthy 16 percent decrease for the period, which may reflect a targeted police focus on neighborhoods plagued
by burglaries; the arrest of several serial burglary suspects; and extensive public education efforts aimed at prevention.
Reported robberies continue to follow the national upward trend with an increase of nine percent in Fairfax County for the first half of
2007 as compared to 2006. Additionally, there was a marked 57 percent increase in the number of reported rapes during the latest reporting period. Investigators attribute this to an increase in reported acJan.Janquaintance rapes, many of which have already proven to be false reports.

Neighborhood Crime Aler t ~ Bur glar y Pr evention Tips
Each year there are more than five million home burglaries in the United States. Nine
out of 10 of these are preventable. The majority of burglaries occur during the daytime
when most people are away at work or school and most are crimes of opportunity.
Criminals prefer to break into homes that are easily accessible and stay away from
homes that have secure prevention measures in place. Most burglars give up and
move on if they cannot gain access in a few minutes. There are many things you can
do — both individually and in conjunction with your neighbors — to lower the risk of
your home being burglarized.
1.
Lock all your doors.
2.
Lock all your windows and patio doors.
3.
Be sure your valuables are not visible from outside.
4.
Illuminate your property.
5.
Keep shrubbery around your residence trimmed and low.
6.
Consider placing your lights and TVs on timers.
7.
Consider placing alarm monitoring signs in your windows.
8.
Have a trusted neighbor check on your home when away on vacation.
9.
Make your residence look occupied.
10. Immediately report crimes or suspicious activities.
11. Be involved with your Neighborhood Watch.
12. Draw curtains or blinds after dark.
13. If you need more assistance, please contact the Franconia Crime
