DAILY CRIME REPORT

Dec. 27 – Dec. 30, 2013


Today’s Good News
Second Precinct Officer Erica Hall was on routine patrol recently when noticed two men pushing a Supercan through an alley. When the two men saw her, however, they immediately took off running. Officer Hall gave chase and caught one of them. After backup arrived, Officer Hall returned to the alley to investigate further and found the Supercan full of stolen car batteries. With the assistance of Detective Pedro Riddle, they identified the individual and charged him with a warrant already on file as well as crimes related to these thefts. They were also able to return several of the stolen car batteries to their rightful owners. Good work!

Today’s Good News
Kudos to Communications Officer Leslie Brown who was named the Department’s Communications Officer of the Month for November! Last month CO Brown answered more than 400 service calls for RPD, EMS, Fire and Public Works with an average entry time of 22 seconds. With her speed and accuracy, she is consistently a top performer for her shift.

One example of her excellent and professional actions occurred Nov. 25 when she and her fellow communications officer began receiving several calls about a male threatening to take his own life. Though the calls initially appeared to be fake, three hours of intense searching eventually revealed the man’s location and he was safely taken into custody and taken to the hospital for treatment. CO Brown did an incredible job of listening to orders and processing information from different coworkers, units, other agencies and supervisors. She is always a stellar performer on the radio. Thank you, and congratulations Communications Officer Leslie Brown!

Today’s Good News
Kudos to First Precinct Officer Harold Ford who was named the Department’s Problem Solver of the Month for November! As the environmental officer, Ford handles quality of life issues every day that often lead to bigger problems if not taken care of. In the past month, he noticed several issues, but he was not content to tackle them one by one. Instead, he took a global view, creating an action plan and community task force to attack the problems of overgrown vegetation, vacant properties used for drug dealing and prostitution as well as uncut debris in alleyways making them impassable for emergency vehicles.

He identified key locations that needed attention and reached out for help from City Councilwoman Cynthia Newbille, members of the CAO’s office, Public Works, Code Enforcement and volunteers from RPD, the neighborhoods, VCU and VUU and those doing community service to maximize his efforts. And boy did he! While working on this project, Officer Ford and his crews cleaned a total of nine vacant lots, conducted two street cleanings, conducted a community walk and addressed 20 locations for various code violations.

And yet he still wasn’t satisfied. To finalize his efforts, he coordinated a community clean up with all of these partners who participated in several hours of clean up along the 25th Street corridor. Good work and thank you, Officer Harold Ford!

Today’s Good News
Kudos to Officer Cleavester Ferrell who was named Fourth Precinct’s Officer of the Month for November! It’s not always about the numbers, though Officer Ferrell has plenty to show for the month, including responding to 66 radio calls, 21 sight calls and assisting 18 other units.

But for Officer Ferrell, it’s all about the community relationships. He has spent more time on foot in Jackson Ward than any other officer in Sector 413. His personal patrols go a long way toward building and nurturing the important relationships needed to fight crime in that area. For example, when Community Care hosted a crime prevention seminar geared toward small business owners last month, Officer Ferrell took the initiative to hand out more than 30 flyers to every business he could find in the sector. He took personal responsibility to ensure that every business owner had the opportunity to participate if they wanted.

Overall, Officer Ferrell is a big asset to Sector 413 and the Department as a whole and his efforts to further community engagement and participation are key to community policing. Thank you, and congratulations Officer Cleavester Ferrell!

Kudos to Officer Devin Marks who was named Third Precinct’s Officer of the Month for November! From dealing with issues of domestic violence to narcotics seizures to finding wanted persons, Officer Marks works hard to keep the community safe. During the month of November alone, he made a significant arrest of an offender who he witnessed assault a woman.

He also used his superior problem solving and observation skills on several occasions to combat drug dealing, one of which resulted in the seizure of cash, cocaine, oxycodone and nearly 2.5 pounds of marijuana! Officer Marks also leads by example, facilitating eight hotel interdiction operations and three sector warrant sweeps last month. Thank you, and congratulations Officer Devin Marks!
