This year the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control
received the award for Liquor Law Enforcement Agency of the Year.
The agency and 14 agents in particular, earned this recognition for
being one of the first law enforcement groups to arrive at the
Pentagon on September 11, 2001. As “first
responders” the 14 agents provided traffic control, assisted in the
evacuation of personnel from the Pentagon, transported the injured to
hospitals, assisted in administering first aid to those injured and
insured that the children present in the Pentagon’s child care
facility were moved out of harm’s way. In the days following the
attack, these same agents, as well as the remaining agents assigned to
the Alexandria Regional Office and agents from the Richmond
office, assisted in the recovery of airplane and building parts and
sensitive documents, assisted with perimeter security and helped with
the search and recovery of victims inside the Pentagon.
