BACKGROUND: The
Richmond Police Department is sponsoring the second in a series of conversations
with Richmond residents about public safety and enforcement issues in the city.
Called “Police and Peeps” – A Community
Conversation, the event will provide an opportunity for people to talk to
Chief Alfred Durham, his officers and each other about how the Department
conducts business.
“We need the public’s help to do our job.
It’s as simple as that,” said Chief Durham, “We need to hear what people think
about how we are preventing crimes and solving crimes, while respecting their
civil rights.”
Clovia Lawrence, News and Community
Affairs Director at radio station iPower 92, will return as moderator.
The Department
plans to sponsor these events on a monthly basis at different locations throughout
the city.
Members of the media
are encouraged to attend.
