Arlington County Manager Mark Schwartz aims to have a new police chief in place within the next month or two.
And this police chief, he said during a meeting last week, must appreciate Arlington’s diversity and understand how different communities react to police presence.
“Our police officers meet with residents, visitors and those who work here during the most stressful moments of their lives,” he said. “I’m looking for a chief who understands our community gains strength from its diversity.”
The police department has been without a permanent leader since September, when the former police chief M. Jay Farr retired, citing souring relations with the County Board as one of his reasons for leaving. Acting chief Andy Penn is leading in his place.

The gangster era during Prohibition and later saw the typical police officer, who was armed with a .38 S&W or .38 S&W Special revolver, outgunned by gangsters with self-loading pistols, BARs, or Thompson SMGs. These same gangsters generally drove fast cars with heavy steel bodies that often would defeat the .38 Special standard load of 158-grain bullet, at 860 feet per second, producing 260 foot pounds of energy.
