State of the County & Public Safety Awards

This annual event is a celebration of Arlington's economic achievements, the community's future, and all who make the area an excellent place to live and work. The State of the County & Public Safety Awards include an address by the Arlington County Board Chair, who highlights the economic and development status of Arlington.

​This event also honors our public safety personnel and first-responders from Arlington County’s Fire Department, Police Department, Department of Public Safety Communications & Emergency Management, and Sheriff's Office, who have exemplified extraordinary heroic actions and exceptional performance of their duties.
