At the Leesburg Police Department, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of professionalism, accountability, and transparency. Our General Orders serve as the foundational policies and procedures that guide all department personnel in fulfilling our mission, vision, and core values.

These documents are living resources—regularly reviewed and updated to reflect evolving best practices in modern policing. We believe that by sharing these policies, we strengthen trust with the community we serve.

We encourage community members to review our General Orders and check back periodically for new additions or updates.

Important Notes:

  •  General Orders marked with an asterisk (*) are current as of June 5, 2024, but do not automatically update. 
  • In accordance with the Virginia Freedom of Information Act (VFOIA) (§ 2.2-3700 et seq. of the 1950 Code of Virginia, as amended), some sections may be redacted to protect sensitive information that, if disclosed, could:
    • Compromise officer or public safety, or
    • Jeopardize ongoing operations

Our commitment to transparency means making as much of our operational policy as possible available to the public, while also balancing the need to maintain safety and security.
