BACKGROUND:     Chief Alfred Durham and the Command Staff will lead the officers of the Richmond Police Department on a walk at 5:30 p.m. today, Oct. 3, through the Willow Lawn and Sauer’s Gardens neighborhoods. During the walk, officers will speak with community members about safety concerns they may have and what they would like to see from the Richmond Police Department.

Sector 311 Lieutenant Nathaniel Bynum said the primary crime concerns are commercial robberies, commercial burglaries, and residential larcenies.

“As we approach the holiday season, it’s important to be extra cautious,” said Lt. Bynum. “Criminals view the holidays as an open invitation to take valuables from your businesses, homes, and vehicles.”


This event is the latest in a series of walks conducted by the Richmond Police Department in neighborhoods throughout the city.
