BACKGROUND:     First Precinct Sector 113 Lt. James Killingsworth and other Richmond Police Department officers will participate in a walk through in Richmond’s Eastview neighborhood at 5:30 p.m. today. During the walk, RPD 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 113 Lt. Killingsworth said members of RPD will be focusing on meeting and speaking with residents in the neighborhood.

We want to make sure we are continuing to reach out to those who live in this area,” Lt. Killingsworth said. “We spend a large amount of time in the housing communities and do not always get the quality facetime with these residents.”

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

Members of the media are encouraged to attend.
