Who’s a good boy? Marlin is. 🐾 Our very own facility support dog, Marlin, was honored with the Rotarian M. Jane Seeman “Service Above Self” Award. Alongside his handler, Detective Marcos Herrera, Marlin provides comfort to victims, families, and even our own officers during some of life’s toughest moments. Most recently, he spent time supporting families affected by the Potomac River mid-air collision, bringing calm and compassion when it was needed most. From the police department to the community, Marlin shows every day what it means to put others first. We’re proud of you, Marlin.

Thank you Vienna, you delivered! Yesterday, we collected 249 pounds of unused and expired medications during the DEA Prescription Drug Take Back Initiative.

Whether it was one pill or the whole medicine cabinet, thank you to everyone who came out and made an impact!

During National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, we recognize a career that has made a lasting impact on this department. Ruth Rohr began her career with the Vienna Police Department in January 1985. For 41 years, she has been a critical link between the community and officers in the field, providing real-time information, coordinating responses, and ensuring officers had the resources they needed to handle calls safely and effectively. Generations of officers have relied on her voice, her judgment, and her experience. Ruth’s attention to detail set the standard. She caught what others missed, kept operations running smoothly, and made a difference on every shift she worked. As she nears retirement, we thank her for her dedication, professionalism, and years of service. Once Vienna PD, always Vienna PD. Congratulations, Ruth.

Join us in recognizing MPO Mike Finelli as the American Legion’s Vienna Police Officer of the Year. MPO Finelli has served the Vienna Police Department for 19 years and recently returned to Operations after spending four years as an instructor at the Fairfax County Criminal Justice Academy. During his time at the academy, he earned a strong reputation among both fellow instructors and the recruits he trained for his professionalism, knowledge, and commitment to developing the next generation of officers. Recruit evaluations highlight the impact he had as their instructor, with many echoing the following sentiment, “I appreciate the knowledge that MPO Finelli brought to the academy. It was clear he has a lot of experience and genuinely wanted to pass that on. His sense of humor made the material easy to understand.” MPO Finelli brings extensive experience to the department, having served as a sub-supervisor, gangs detective, field training officer, Taser instructor, range instructor, and active member of the Training Committee. His ability to mentor, teach, and lead continues to strengthen the performance of officers across the department.
