WHAT: Richmond Police Department Community Walk

WHEN: 5:30 p.m. TODAY, December 11, 2019

WHERE: 500 block of W. Marshall Street.

BACKGROUND: Chief William Smith, Command Staff and other Richmond Police Department officers will walk at 5:30 p.m. today through the Jackson Ward neighborhood. During the walk, 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 413 Lt. James Roberts says a common issue in this neighborhood is items being stolen out of vehicles. During this time of year there is also an uptick in package thefts.

“We want to take this opportunity to engage with our Jackson Ward neighbors to share information on holiday safety tips and methods for keeping valuables safe,” said Lt. Roberts.

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