Today’s Good News

Kudos to Officer Julio Rodriguez who was named Second Precinct’s Officer of the Month for February! It was a busy month for Officer Rodriguez! In addition to making five felony arrests and 13 misdemeanor arrests, he served four warrants, issued 18 traffic summons, assisted on 21 calls and responded to 92 sight calls and 52 radio calls.

Officer Rodriguez is well known to the citizens in the neighborhoods he patrols. He does this by getting out of his car and speaking with the residents every chance he gets. His presence and these strong relationships have helped reduce robberies and assaults. Officer Rodriguez also offers to translate for other officers who do not speak Spanish, which allows the correct information to be gathered and builds trust. He often volunteers for directed patrol assignments and has attended several classes to further his law enforcement knowledge and skills. One example is that he will soon be attending the Mid-Atlantic DUI Conference in Virginia Beach. Congratulations and thank you, Officer Julio Rodriguez!
