Statement from the Richmond Police Department about Monument Avenue

December 7, 2017

The Richmond Police Department is experienced in crowd control and maintaining public safety during demonstrations. Should an assembly occur on Monument Avenue this Saturday, even though no group has applied for a permit, we will be prepared to deal with it.

Monument Avenue will be open as usual this weekend, without restrictions.

We ask anyone who comes to Monument Avenue to be cooperative and non-confrontational. They should stay out of the roadway, remain on the sidewalks and cross in the crosswalks.

There will be zero tolerance for misbehavior.
