Chief
Alfred Durham
and the Department’s Command Staff will join First Precinct Sector
113 Lt. Mike Alston for a walk through the Creighton Court
neighborhood this evening.
Officers
will meet at the above location and spread out from there to converse with
residents about safety concerns they may have and what they would like to see
more of from the Richmond Police Department.
Over
the last year, instances of violent crime have not increased, turning the focus
toward a rise in property crime in the area of Creighton Court.
“We
have seen an increase in property crime for the area compared to the same
period last year,” Lt. Alston said. “We are encouraged that there has been no
rise in violent crime. We’d like to maintain the reduction of violent incidents
while combating the burglaries and thefts we have seen.”
This
event is the latest in a series of monthly community walks conducted by the
Richmond Police Department in neighborhoods throughout the city.
Members
of the media are encouraged to attend.
