Today’s Good News
Most of the incidents you read about a Richmond Police officer’s actions are usually during or after a crime has already occurred, but their efforts to prevent crime is just as important. And that’s why we recognize Second Precinct Officer Teru Hayashi whose recent foot patrols along the Jefferson Davis Highway corridor likely stopped a crime before it could occur. During a recent midnight shift patrol, he was checking the doors of businesses and discovered an unlocked door at one of them. He then went the extra mile and found a phone number for one of the managers. The manager quickly responded and thanked Officer Hayashi, saying that she must have forgotten to lock the door at closing. Officer Hayashi should be commended for his work ethic and his desire to serve the community.
