EDVA Honors Law Enforcement for Exceptional Service

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Today U.S. Attorney Jessica D. Aber recognized over 300 officers and agents from federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies with Public Service Awards.

The Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA) typically holds an annual awards ceremony to recognize the law enforcement officials for their service and contribution to various criminal and civil cases investigated and prosecuted here in EDVA. For the first time since 2019, this ceremony was held in person at venues near each of the four EDVA offices.

“The awardees went above and beyond to investigate these cases and are emblematic of the good that law enforcement can do for our local, state, and national communities,” said Jessica D. Aber, U.S Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. “However, they also represent a fraction of the incredible work that goes on every day with state and federal law enforcement. Both them and their agencies at large should be commended for their sustained efforts.”

The awards highlighted federal cases, operations, and initiatives from 2021. The federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies listed below had officers and/or agents who were recognized for their bravery, outstanding collaboration, investigative achievement, investigative excellence, and victim assistance.
