Press release from the FCPD Daily News Blog:

August 30, 2021

Brian J. Reilly, formerly of the Prince George’s County Police Department, started a new chapter today as the Fairfax County Police Department’s executive deputy police chief. In this new role, Reilly is responsible for the coordination of FCPD’s crime control strategies, policy and legislative initiatives and the implementation of a new data and evidence-based policing strategy that prioritizes community interaction with police officers throughout Fairfax County.

Reilly will spearhead the implementation of our evidence-based accountability and record-keeping program in conjunction with Dr. Noah Fritz, the newly appointed director of data analytics and strategic initiatives. The CORE (Crime Operations Response and Engagement) program will use real-time data to measure the Department’s investments and progress in areas such as crime prevention, use of force and community engagement. CORE will also serve as a vehicle to find administrative efficiencies on issues like overtime spending, staffing, recruitment and more.

After 25 years with the Prince George’s County Police Department, Reilly concluded his career in Maryland at the rank of Major. He oversaw the Criminal Investigation Division for the past three years, which includes the homicide, commercial robbery, sexual assault, domestic violence and child and vulnerable adult abuse units. Prior to his leadership of this division, Reilly spent two years as the commander of the Oxon Hill District, where in his final year violent crime fell 24.8 percent and property crime fell 11.5 percent.

“Some people are just given the gift to care for their fellow man with their heart, and he (Reilly) is one of them,” said Sharon Sims, who served on the Community Advisory Board in Oxon Hill throughout Reilly’s tenure there. “If I ever need anything and it is within his realm to help, he does so without hesitation.”

Reilly has a bachelor’s degree from University of Maryland and attended the Police Executive Research Forum’s Senior Management Institute for Police in 2017. He is married with three children.
