Chief
Alfred Durham
and the Department’s Command Staff will join Third Precinct Sector
311 Lt. Michael Stith for a walk through the Museum District this
evening.
Officers
will meet at the above location and spread out from there to converse with
residents about their safety concerns and what they would like to see more of
from the Richmond Police Department.
“We
have experienced several incidents of thefts from motor vehicles in this area,”
Lt. Stith said. “Meeting with citizens in a walkthrough will give us a chance
to remind everyone of prevention tips that can dramatically decrease these
crimes of opportunity.”
This
event is an occasion to connect with neighbors and better focus the Richmond
Police Department’s efforts in the area. It 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.
