The Abingdon Police Department proudly congratulates Officer Jones on his graduation from the Southwest Virginia Criminal Justice Training Academy!
Graduating from the police academy is a significant achievement that marks the beginning of a meaningful career in public service. We commend Officer Jones for his hard work, dedication, and commitment to serving the Town of Abingdon. We look forward to the positive impact Officer Jones will have in our community.

The Town of Abingdon was recently made aware of its inclusion on the Department of Homeland Security's list of sanctuary jurisdictions. This designation came without prior notice or explanation.
Upon learning of the listing, we immediately contacted the Office of the U.S. Representative Morgan Griffith for assistance in correcting the error. We also contacted our federal law enforcement partners and have been advised that Abingdon will be removed from the list.
The Abingdon Police Department remains in full compliance with federal law and maintains strong, ongoing cooperation with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.
The Abingdon Police Department's administrative offices will be closed on Monday, May 26, 2025, in observance of Memorial Day. Offices will reopen on Tuesday, May 27, 2025, at 8:30 AM.
As always, officers are available 24/7. For non-emergency assistance outside of business hours, please contact the Washington County Dispatch Center at 276-676-6277.
🎓 Congratulations, Class of 2025! 🎓
The Abingdon Police Department would like to extend our congratulations to the Abingdon High School Class of 2025 on your graduation!
