Aug. 26 – Aug. 27, 2013

Today’s Good News
Please join us at 1 p.m. today at the November Theater, 114 W. Broad St., for our Summer Salute to Excellence Awards Ceremony! During the ceremony, we will recognize and honor two officers who were shot and injured in the line of duty. We will also recognize three Third Precinct officers who worked in the lobby of their own precinct to save a stabbing victim, whose wounds required more than 200 stitches. We will also thank our community members, such as a South Side business owner who, in the spirit of the season, brought Christmas dinner to the officers on duty at Second Precinct. These are just a few examples of the acts by members of the Richmond Police Department and members of the community that will be honored.

The Department will also announce the precinct and sectors that have had the largest crime reductions during the first two quarters of the year and hand out several other awards to recognize many of the great, hardworking officers, civilians, volunteers and community partners we have working for us and you, our community! We hope to see you there!
