ACPD Participates in Click it or Ticket Campaign

The Arlington County Police Department is partnering with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) during the national Click It or Ticket seat belt safety campaign to urge driver to buckle up on every trip. The national high-visibility seat belt education and enforcement effort, which coincides with the Memorial Day holiday, began May 11 and will run through May 31, 2026.

In 2024, 22,713 passenger vehicle occupants were killed nationwide according to data by NHTSA. Nearly 50% of those killed were not buckled. With Memorial Day signifying the unofficial start of summer, more people will be out on the roads traveling to and from events and festivities. Seat belts are the best defense against impaired, aggressive and distracted drivers.

ACPD Seeks Public’s Assistance Identifying Remains

The Arlington County Police Department is seeking the public’s assistance identifying an adult male whose remains were discovered in the basement of an abandoned property on February 26, 2024. Since the discovery of the remains, detectives have worked diligently to identify the deceased to further the investigation and notify next of kin and have exhausted all current leads. DNA was recovered, however, no match has been found in the national Combined DNA Index System (CODIS).

With the assistance of the FBI, composite drawings have been created to depict how the individual may have appeared.
