This past Sunday, the Port of Virginia hosted its annual Family Fall Festival at Virginia International Gateway, and what a fantastic event it was!

Our team was on-site throughout the day to help ensure the safety and security of our colleagues, ILA members, trusted partners, family, friends, and neighbors as they gathered to connect and celebrate the community that makes our port successful. Our officers also helped facilitate seamless parking operations, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone in attendance.

Thank you to everyone who attended and to all those who worked behind the scenes to make this year's festival such a memorable event. Events like these highlight the strong partnerships and sense of community that make the Port of Virginia such a special place.

We look forward to seeing everyone again next year!

Friday, we had the absolute pleasure of attending the Fall Festival and Trunk or Treat event at Coast Guard Base Portsmouth. Officer Taylor ensured all the little trick or treaters were taken care of. Obviously, we felt the best costume was on the left. Just saying!!!!!

This month we go pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is a time to honor the fighters, survivors, and those we’ve lost. Their courage lights the way for a future without breast cancer.

Networking is the key to success!! Recently the VPAPD, in collaboration with the Virginia Chapter of the FBI National Academy Associates, hosted our 2nd annual golf outing at Ocean View Golf Course in Norfolk. It was a great day to get together for a little competition and interaction. Congratulations to team Chesapeake for winning 1st place. We were extremely honored to be able to donate $520.00 to FBINAA VA Chapter President Tommy West for the chapter’s Officer Down Account. We look forward to seeing everyone again next year!!
