The minutes from the November 28, 2017, Public Safety Committee meeting were approved. The first topic on the agenda was Police Pursuit Policy and the Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT) maneuver. David Pienta, with the PursuitSAFETY organization participating by conference call from a remote location, provided several recommendation and consideration points from his review of the draft Police Department pursuit policies. o Goal is an objective rather than subjective policy. o Draft policy provides some guidelines, but police supervisors would still be making “subjective” decisions on a pursuit. o No stated mandate for police officer to clear traffic control devices safely. o No stated mandate for police officer to remain on scene if involved in an accident during a pursuit. o Police officer should render aid when an accident occurs. o Guidance should be included on tactical de-escalation for the conclusion of a felony vehicle stop.

    QUICK JUMP • Chairman’s Message • Director’s Message • The Fairfax County Park Authority Board • People in Our Parks • Parks by the Numbers • 2013 Elly Doyle Park Service Awards • Accolades and Awards • Contact Us Chairman’s Message ^ Thank you for taking a few moments to glance at our Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2014. We feel it is important to reflect on recent accomplishments and challenges and to share that information with you. As always, it has been a productive year and I am very proud of our staff and leadership. This year our efforts to focus on strengthening our partnerships in this community are helping our park system. In my six terms as Chairman of the Park Authority Board, I have worked hand-in-hand with individuals who understand the value of working together for the common betterment of the community The commitment to our park system by our partners has made a significant difference in our ability to deal with these challenging budget times. Let me share some insights on how these partnerships and collaborations benefit all of us. I was honored to be a recipient of the Tony Griffin Partnership Leader Award presented by the Office of Private Partnerships, affectionately known as OP3, William Bouie this past May. It is a great honor to be recognized in this manner but I can hardly take credit for this accolade alone. Each year individuals and organizations use the Mastenbrook Volunteer Matching Fund Grant program to help fund projects in the community such as batting cages, dog parks or playgrounds. This year, the Park Authority Board increased the maximum from $10,000 to $20,000, thus stretching those dollars even further and increasing the possibilities for community-driven improvements in our parks.
