The Fauquier County Board of Supervisors held a regular meeting on July 10, 2025, where they addressed several key issues, including the adoption of the consent agenda and a significant resolution regarding traffic enforcement.

The meeting began with the adoption of the consent agenda, which was approved unanimously by the board members. Following this, the board moved on to discuss the regular agenda items, with a primary focus on a resolution to establish two full-time sheriff's deputy traffic enforcement positions within the sheriff's office.

The addition of these positions is intended to foster a proactive approach to traffic management, improve visibility, and ultimately decrease the number of crashes on local roads.

By investing in these traffic enforcement roles, the county aims to address citizens' concerns about hazardous driving in neighborhoods and work towards reducing traffic-related incidents and fatalities. The board emphasized that this initiative is a vital step in ensuring safer roads for all residents.
