Today’s Good News
Third
Precinct Officer Richard Redford’s hard work, good memory and motivation
recently resulted in the arrest of three different people wanted for several
violent crimes. During the first incident, Officer Redford was on patrol during
the midnight shift when he spotted a vehicle suspected to be involved in an
armed robbery the night before. Because of his good memory, he recalled the
suspect’s name and vehicle license plate number. He then developed probable
cause to stop the vehicle and discovered the driver was indeed the suspect
wanted for the armed robbery and he arrested her.
During another patrol, Officer Redford
responded to a domestic violence call and immediately recognized a person from
their wanted posted hanging up at the precinct. The person was wanted in
connection to numerous burglaries in the area and this arrest will surely
reduce that problem. In the third incident, Officer Redford was one of the first
officers on scene of a violent robbery, but thanks to his quick thinking, he
was swiftly able to identify and help find the person responsible. Good work
Officer Redford!
