Mayor ’ s Message

I am pleased to present the 2020 Annual Report to our citizens and business community . Last year , our city along with the nation , faced unprecedented challenges on a variety of fronts , including the ongoing pandemic and social justice issues related to policing . Even in the midst of these challenges , our police department rose to the occasion and I could not be more proud of the collective achievements to review our processes and strive to become better .
The residents of Arlington are truly grateful to the men and women of the APD for their unwavering service and commitment to build stronger , safer neighborhoods to enhance our quality of life . In addition to making Arlington the best place to raise a family , work , and play , the department recruits a diversified workforce that is reflective of those they serve .
On behalf of our elected officials that represent the people of Arlington , join me in supporting our men and women in blue who devote their lives to serving all of us .
W . Jeff Williams Mayor
