Manassas City police: “On June 26, [2023], at approximately 10:30 p.m., MCPD responded to a report of a possible overdose in a vehicle. Officer Duck located the vehicle and announced on the radio that he believed the subject was in the throes of a narcotics overdose and that he would need to break the window.”

“The backup officers advised Officer Duck that rescue services were stuck behind a train. Officer Duck recognized the exigency of the situation and, without hesitation, shattered the rear window and gave the subject a dose of Narcan. The subject was transported to the hospital by Fire and Rescue for further treatment.”

Manassas police: “Please join us in giving congratulations to our own Captain Tara Petty, who graduated this week from the FBI National Academy program. This is a highly competitive, executive-level program that is only open to law enforcement officers who have been nominated by their agencies.”

Petty began her career with Manassas police in February 2004.
