Wave Two of the Fairfax County Police Department’s Road Shark traffic safety campaign has concluded with significant results. In collaboration with the Virginia State Police (VSP), this initiative focuses on reducing aggressive driving behaviors, enhancing road safety, and minimizing traffic accidents.
During the campaign from April 21 to April 27, law enforcement issued over 8,250 citations and warnings. This included more than 600 speeding citations and 160 reckless driving citations. These figures underscore the necessity for targeted enforcement and driver accountability in Fairfax County.
The Road Shark campaign is designed to deter dangerous driving through coordinated and strategic enforcement efforts. By increasing patrols and visibility, both FCPD officers and VSP troopers aim to influence driver behavior positively, improve public safety, and safeguard lives on local roads.
“Thanks to the dedication of our officers and partners at VSP, Wave 2 made a measurable impact—and there’s more to come,” said an official statement from the police department.
The next phase of Road Shark will begin on June 16, 2025.
