The Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police, formed in 1926, is an unincorporated 501(c)(6) non-profit trade association.

About the VACP
For motorists hankering to zip along the highways unfettered by the heavy hand of law enforcement, this is shaping up to be a very friendly General Assembly session.
Already, the Senate and House of Delegates have voted to raise the speed limit on interstate highways to 70 mph, a measure championed by Gov. Bob McDonnell. Now a proposal to repeal Virginia’s longstanding, unique-in-the-nation ban on radar detectors is advancing through the House.
Del. Joe May’s bill, HB 674, was approved 11-8 by the House Transportation Committee this morning and now moves to the House floor. May, R-Leesburg, is the committee chairman.

Manassas police chief retiring May 1
MANASSAS, Va.—Manassas police Chief John J. Skinner announced Monday that he will retire May 1. He retired as chief of the Fairfax city department in 1998.
Skinner, who has been chief of the Manassas Police Department for 12 years, said he might try some golf when he and his wife, Shirley, winter in Phoenix but he’s not sure about that.
“I’m going to see in retirement if I have the patience. I know I don’t have the talent,” said the 57-year-old Skinner said of his golfing abilities.
Skinner alsp plans to volunteer and put his experience to use in retirement.
“I hope to do some law enforcement training ... for the feds, for the International Association of Chiefs of Police or the National Sheriff’s Association,” he said. “I have interviewed with Phoenix P.D. I intend to volunteer through their Volunteer In Police Services program.”
