Click here for the Weekly Richmond Police Activity Report for the week of March 25 - 31.  Here is an example from the report of proactive community policing in action:

“Officer Tod Opdyke investigated an incident involving two individuals believed to be casing the liquor store at Tewksbury and Washington Avenue, for a possible robbery. The clerks of the store provided Officer Opdyke with a very extensive description of the two individuals. Later in the evening Officer Opdyke located a suspicious vehicle at the dead end of Crest Drive. The vehicle contained four subjects, including the same two individuals who were casing the liquor store. All four subjects were arrested for an unrelated offense. This is an excellent example of community and police working together to prevent crime.”
