Virginia Citizens Coalition for Police Accountability
The Virginia Citizens Coalition for Police Accountability is a do-gooder organization formed to call the Fairfax County Police Department to account for the actions of its officers.

- The shooting of 19-year-old Hailu Brook in Arlington by 3 officers of the Fairfax County Police department on December 10, 2008 while allegedly fleeing a bank robbery.
- The fatal shooting of 52-year-old David A. Masters on November 13, 2009.
- The shooting of 25-year-old Ian C. Smith on February 9, 2010.
