The Charlie T. Deane Police Station began operations on April 18, 2018. The station serves the Lake Ridge, Dale City, Woodbridge and mid-county areas.

In 2017, the Board of County Supervisors named the new police station after retired Police Chief Charlie T. Deane.

Chief Deane was one of the original 42 police officers hired when the county government established the Police Department in 1970. He was the longest-serving original member of the department when he retired in 2012 after a 42-year career here. Deane was promoted to Chief in 1988 and was Chief for almost 25 years.
