M. Douglas Scott

Michael Douglas "Doug" Scott (b. November 14, 1956) was the chief of the Fairfax County Police Department from 1995 to 1998 and the chief of the Fairfax City Police Department from 1998 to 2000.

Scott joined FCPD as a cadet following his graduation from Hayfield High School in 1975.

In 1993, Scott became one of the two commanders of the patrol bureau.[1]

With his appointment as chief on May 1, 1995, the 38-year-old police major became the youngest man up to that point ever to head the FCPD.[1]

After just over three years as chief of FCPD, Scott announced he was seeking the chief's job in Fairfax City.[2]

In 2003, Scott became chief of the Arlington County Police Department. He retired in March, 2015.[3]
