Members and Friends of the Loudoun Crime Commission – Greetings!

Thank you for your continued support of the LCC and our work to educate the community, and to maintain a connection between the public and Law Enforcement.

You are invited to attend our last luncheon for 2021: The LCC Luncheon event is at 1230 pm on Friday, November 12th, 2021, at the Belmont Country Club. Doors open at noon for gathering and socializing.

Our speaker is Commander Robert Glover, Washington Metropolitan Police Department, who will present:
“Inside the January 6th Capitol Riot”

Commander Robert Glover was the commander of MPD officers deployed to the scene of the January 6th event. He will describe his experience on that day. What it was like to call for backup 17 times, and to see multiple officers suffer injuries.

Robert Glover was appointed by then Acting Chief Contee III to the rank of Commander in January 2021, and currently heads the Special Operations Division (SOD) where he manages all special operations units. These include the Emergency Response Team, Explosive Ordnance Disposal, Harbor Patrol, Canine, Air Support, Horse Mounted, and Special Events.

Commander Glover began his career with MPD as a recruit in 1994. After four years, he was promoted to Sergeant. In 2000, he was promoted to Lieutenant and served in a number of posts at that rank.

In 2016, he was named Captain of the Special Events Branch and was promoted to Inspector in 2020. That year he oversaw the Presidential Inauguration planning and First Amendment Demonstrations.

Commander Glover graduated from Pennsylvania State University in 1993 with a BS in Administration of Justice. He has numerous certificates and has received training from agencies such as the FBI and the US Secret Service.

We hope all LCC members will attend and invite their friends to take this opportunity to meet and interact with Loudoun's top law enforcement officials, and to gain some insight into crime issues in our fast-growing locality. We look forward to seeing you all there.

To attend, please send an RSVP by Tuesday, November 9th, 2021 to: [email protected]

Thank you,

A report has been received this week of a Loudoun County resident receiving a phone call where the caller impersonated a law enforcement official and asked for gift cards to clear an arrest warrant. The caller identified themselves as an officer with the Leesburg Police Department to help make the scam appear legitimate.

It is important to note that members of law enforcement will NEVER ASK for MONEY or PREPAID/GIFT CARDS in lieu of arrest.

If you have any questions as to the validity of a telephone call from any law enforcement agency, or have been a victim of this telephone scam, you are asked to call the LPD non-emergency dispatch line at 703-771-4500.

You may notice something different about some of our officers during the month of November.

Leesburg Police Officers, in collaboration with Inova Loudoun Hospital, are once again participating in a cancer awareness campaign known as "No-Shave November.”

The purpose of the campaign is to bring awareness to patients that often lose their hair secondary to cancer treatment.

During the month of November, participating members of the Leesburg Police Department will be permitted to forego shaving for the month, in order to evoke conversation and raise cancer awareness.

Officers and staff who choose to participate, personally make a monetary donation and independently collect donations which go to the Cancer Patient Assistance Fund at Inova Loudoun Hospital. This fund supports the critical needs of cancer patients in #Loudoun County, both during and after treatment, including assistance with bills, prescriptions, transportation, housing, and much more.

This continued partnership affords us the opportunity to directly assist community members who may be impacted by cancer.

Anyone wishing to make a donation to the Cancer Patient Assistance Fund at Inova Loudoun Hospital on behalf of #LPD's #NoShaveNovember campaign can do so at: https://us-p2p.e-activist.com/3084/give-p2p/115082/2021-no-shave-november

Timeline Photos

Sgt. Jason Thomas (pictured), who had been out of the Marine Corps for about a year, was dropping his daughter off at his mother's Long Island home on the morning of September 11th when she told him planes had struck the Twin Towers. He retrieved his Marine uniform, sped to Manhattan and parked his car when one of the towers collapsed. Thomas headed directly into the fallen rubble and cloud of ash.

"Someone needed help. It didn't matter who," he said. "I didn't even have a plan. But I have all this training as a Marine, and all I could think was, 'My city is in need.'"

Thomas ran into another ex-Marine, Staff Sgt. David Karnes (who was also wearing his uniform), and together the pair searched for survivors. Carrying little more than flashlights and an infantryman's shovel, they climbed the mountain of debris, skirting dangerous crevasses and shards of red-hot metal, calling out "Is anyone down there? United States Marines!"

It was dark before they heard a response from two fallen police officers who were pinned under the debris. The two Marines crawled into a deep pit to find McLoughlin and Jimeno, injured but alive.

Sgt. Thomas returned to Ground Zero every day for another 2 1/2 weeks to help in any way he could. His identity remained a mystery until Oliver Stone’s 2006 film “World Trade Center” chronicled the rescue of the officers, and Thomas stepped forward.

After 9 days of helping at Ground Zero, Sgt. David Karnes returned to Connecticut, and reenlisted. Later he served two tours of duty in Iraq.

The efforts of both men have remained inspiring for many Americans who survived the September 11 attacks. For their selflessness and bravery we remember their actions. Carry on.

The Leesburg Police Department would like to extend our deepest sympathies to fallen Pentagon Police Officer George Gonzalez of the Pentagon Force Protection Agency.

Last night, the Pentagon Force Protection Agency observed End of Watch for Officer Gonzalez who was tragically killed during an incident at the Pentagon bus platform.

A native of Brooklyn, New York, he was a die-hard Yankees fan. He was a graduate of New York City’s Canarsie High School and joined the Pentagon Force Protection Agency (PFPA) as a police officer on July 22, 2018. He was promoted twice and attained the rank of Senior Officer in 2020.

As a military and police veteran, Officer Gonzalez had served previously with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the Transportation Security Administration, and United States Army. He was awarded the Army Commendation Medal for his service in Iraq.

We send our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.
