John J. Skinner

Chief of Police

During the past year, the Manassas City Police Department has continued to meet the emerging challenges of public safety in our community. It has been another year of accomplishments and new endeavors to coordinate and manage the local and regional strategic emergency prepared-ness planning efforts associated with the potential threats of the National Capital Region’s homeland security. Our primary mission continues to be crime prevention while maintaining the excellent level of police services our residents and businesses have come to expect. To this end, attention will remain focused on promoting public safety through community policing and maintaining the excellent level of citizen participation "nurtured" over the past years. The Manassas City Police Department has earned widespread respect and recognition for its accomplishments. As Chief of Police, I can assure that this agency will continue to build upon a record of integrity and professionalism as we prepare to meet the demands and challenges of tomorrow. Lastly, I want to thank and commend the Department employees for their individual and collec-tive efforts, hard work and contribution throughout the past year that has allowed the Depart-ment to fulfill its mission. Job well done!

Sincerely, John J. Skinner Chief of Police
