Aug. 15 – Aug. 16, 2013

Today’s Good News
Fourth Precinct Officer Raymond Misegades is very productive, making several arrests, responding to 70 radio calls recently and assisting several other officers on calls, but he has also embraced the idea that effective police officers do more than make arrests and run calls: They make positive connections to their communities. For example, Officer Misegades often goes out of his way to assist the city’s homeless individuals. Last month, he purchased several bottled waters and handed them out to help them deal with the 90-degree heat. He also makes a concerted effort to ensure they know how and where to obtain helpful services from the city and private facilities. It’s little things like this that some may not see as part of his regular duties or a big deal, but they actually go a long way in improving the quality of life for all citizens in Richmond. Thank you Officer Misegades.
