Occoquan District Supervisor Kenny Boddye is hosting two community town halls this week: one on surveillance technology in public safety, and one on transportation projects along Old Bridge and Minnieville roads. Both are open to residents, and registration is required.
“Whether we’re talking about the use of new technologies or longstanding transportation questions, residents deserve a voice in the decisions that shape our community,” Boddye said in a news release from his office. “These forums are opportunities to get informed, ask questions, share perspectives, and help us make better decisions.”
Wednesday, Oct. 21: Surveillance Technology Town Hall
When: Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2026, 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.
Where: Online
Register: Eventbrite
The virtual forum, titled “Can We Balance Safety & Privacy?,” will look at how surveillance technologies such as Flock cameras and drones are used in public safety. Boddye and Potomac District Supervisor Andrea Bailey will host.
Panelists include Sen. Jennifer Carroll Foy, representatives of the Prince William County Police Department, and the ACLU of Virginia. Residents are invited to learn how the technologies are used, share their views and ask questions, with the input intended to inform future decisions. The Prince William Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. is helping promote the event.

The second forum, “Mobility Matters: Spotlight on Old Bridge & Minnieville,” focuses on the projects, policies and programs shaping how residents get around the Occoquan District. Topics include the Old Bridge Road/Minnieville Road Intersection Study, Old Bridge Corridor improvement projects and neighborhood traffic calming efforts.
Attendees will hear updates on active and planned projects and can ask questions and raise concerns about the roads and sidewalks they use every day. The event is free, and in-person attendees will be offered light refreshments.
“We want to make sure everyone has a seat at the table,” Boddye said. “These meetings bring neighbors together with local decisionmakers to ensure our residents have a voice in the future of our community.”
Boddye has represented the Occoquan District on the Prince William Board of County Supervisors since 2020. More information is available at occoquandistrict.net.
