The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF) today announced Police First Class (PFC) Kevin P. Doyle and Police First Class (PFC) Nicholas E. Brazones of the Fairfax County, Virginia, Police Department as its Officers of the Month for February 2026. These officers are being recognized for their response to a domestic violence incident in late February.

On February 23, Doyle and Brazones responded to a call at an apartment building in Fairfax County. Upon arrival, the officers encountered an active and rapidly evolving situation involving multiple individuals in distress.

After determining there was an immediate threat, Doyle and Brazones entered the residence and located victims in need of assistance. During the encounter, the suspect did not comply with commands and continued to pose a threat to others inside the residence. The threat was stopped by the officers.

As a result of their actions, one individual survived the attack. Their actions helped prevent additional harm and protect others at the scene, including a young child.

“PFC Doyle and PFC Brazones demonstrated decisive action and adherence to their training under critical circumstances,” NLEOMF CEO Bill Alexander said. “Their actions reflect a commitment to protecting life in the face of immediate danger, and we are proud to recognize them as our Officers of the Month for February 2026.”

The Officer of the Month Award Program is sponsored by the Police Unity Tour and recognizes federal, state and local officers who distinguish themselves through exemplary law enforcement service and devotion to duty.
