NEXT MEETING
10/30/26 - 10:00am
Host: Alexandria Sheriff's Office
2003 Mill Road
Alexandria, Virginia
Parking:
Employee Lot
If you are traveling by vehicle, pay close attention while driving on Mill Road. When you turn onto Mill Road from Eisenhower Avenue, prepare to stay to the right. The road becomes two lanes, with the right lane going to the Sheriffs Office and Detention Center and the left lane becoming an interstate ramp to the Beltway. If you take the ramp, you cannot exit until you are in Maryland.
Stay to the right on Mill Road and follow the signs to the Sheriffs Office and Detention Center. The road ends in front of the Sheriffs Office, and there are parking spaces on the street and visitor parking under the interstate ramp.
We will have parking available for you. Several rows of spaces are on either side of the 495 overpasses directly in front of our facility.
Once you have arrived, you must go through our screening post. This is required to ensure the security and safety of inmates, staff, and visitors. An ASO staff member will be present to help guide you through this process.
Discussion Topic:
TBD
MEETINGS ARE HELD FOUR TIMES A YEAR
Our member agencies are requested to host our group meetings. The meetings provide a forum for members to discuss recent trends and issues they are facing in recruiting and conducting background investigations.
The meetings begin at 10 am with lunch following the meeting. The association pays for the associated food and beverage costs. The host agency is only responsible for picking up the food and drinks.
The meetings begin with an introduction of members and review of association minutes, old business, and any committee or reports being presented.
Our formal training or discussion topics are next on the meeting agenda. We regularly poll our members and provide training or facilitate discussions as requested.
If you are interested in hosting please submit your information on the contact us page or tell a board member.
Our meetings provide great networking and allow all members to build new skills and contacts.
