BACKGROUND: Richmond Mayor Levar M. Stoney, RPD Chief Alfred Durham and the Richmond Police Department are proud to welcome 18 new officers to the force and invite the public to their graduation and swearing-in ceremony tomorrow.
The class includes recruits from Richmond, Virginia; states such as New York, Arizona, California and Massachusetts; and one from the Dominican Republic.
