RPD Chief Alfred Durham and

force and invite the public to their graduation and swearing-in ceremony
tomorrow.
The class includes recruits
from across the globe such as Ghana and Romania, and other states like
California, Florida, New York, as well as many from right here in the Richmond
metro area.
An extra week was added to the
traditional 30 week training schedule to accommodate an expanded curriculum
that includes community engagement experiences in public housing communities,
city schools and homeless shelters. The recruits will also graduate as certified
bicycle officers.
As newly sworn officers, they
will begin eight weeks of field training this Saturday; each paired with an
experienced officer.
The entire Richmond Police
Department would like to congratulate and welcome
