RPD Partners with Neighboring Law Enforcement Agencies for “360 Blitz”

July 30, 2021

The Richmond Police Department is proud to partner with neighboring law enforcement agencies to patrol State Route 360 in the upcoming “360 Blitz”.

The enforcement initiative will take place from Sunday, August 1 until Saturday, August 7 as a response to frequent reports of speeding and driving under the influence along that stretch of road. While State Route 360 traverses much of Virginia, in Richmond it is known as Hull Street and Hull Street Road.

“Please slow down and stay alert on that busy stretch of roadway,” said Captain Christopher Gleason, Commander of the RPD’s Special Operations Division.  “We are joining with our regional partners to provide saturated patrols and checkpoints throughout the week for the goal of public safety and awareness.”

Checkpoints and other enforcement operations will be active in Richmond and several other neighboring areas during the “360 Blitz”.
