RPD Pop-Up Series Continues – Elkhardt Neighborhood

WHAT:              The Richmond Police Department continues the popular Community Pop-Ups with an early evening event in the Elkhardt neighborhood. In collaboration with city agencies, non-profit organizations and federal law enforcement partners, the Pop-Ups bring fun activities and multiple tables of agency information to a neighborhood to engage with the public and to connect residents to resources.

 This event will take place at the Residences at Brookside, an apartment complex at Elkhardt and Whitehead roads.

Today’s RPD Community Pop-Up event is a continuation of the 2023 series that will occur monthly in neighborhoods throughout the city.

 WHEN:              5 – 6:30 p.m., today, Thursday, April 27, 2023 

 WHERE:           6540 Greenbank Road

 BACKGROUND:

Impacting public safety through community engagement is one of the Richmond Police Department’s five core values and the series of Community Pop-Ups play an integral role in achieving this goal. RPD has collaborated with various community stakeholders in this series in an attempt to provide access to resources and to engage with the public on their issues of concern. As motor vehicle thefts have slightly increased in the area, Second Precinct Lieutenant Jeremy Sayles will be providing theft prevention tips to the community.

 Members of the media are invited to attend.
