Major Incidents — Countywide

Massage Therapy Business Checks: Officers from local, state and federal agencies inspected almost two dozen massage parlors across Fairfax County earlier this week. The simultaneous inspections were part of ongoing efforts to ensure all procedures and protocols of these establishments are in compliance with Virginia safety and employment codes. The initiative was conducted by the Northern Virginia Human Trafficking Task Force and inspections took place Thursday, December 14 between 2 and 9 p.m. Twenty-three businesses were checked and officers attempted to check 38 others. At this point, 17 charges have been placed but additional charges are pending further investigation.

According to Fairfax County Police Organized Crime and Narcotics Division Assistant Commander, Lieutenant Chris Marsh, “The vast majority of improprieties concern licensures of the employees; fortunately, we did not find any violations of human trafficking.” In addition to utilizing over 40 Fairfax County Police officers and detectives, Marsh said that the operation involved the following task force members: U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Virginia State Police, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Department of State, Prince William County Police Department, Town of Herndon Police and zoning officials, Town of Vienna Police Department along with Fairfax County zoning, code compliance, regulation and licensing and Fire Marshall Officials. Representatives from the Polaris Project, a nationwide network dedicated to combatting human trafficking, were also present to assist officers with potential victim interviews. “Human trafficking, or illegal slave labor, is an issue we take very seriously; we want to make sure there are not businesses or employers here in Fairfax County involved in this activity, “said Lt. Marsh, “We will continue to be vigilant on this heartwrenching and tragic problem.” Charges were placed against individuals at the following locations:
