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, the department will have enough resources in place during the event to keep the neighborhood safe.
Unlawful
activity will not be tolerated and will quickly be met by a proactive police
response.
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.
