We have been prompt­ing resi­dents for the past cou­ple of years about mak­ing sure their homes and busi­nesses were clearly marked with their 911 ad­dress. We are still see­ing homes not la­beled, in­ade­quately la­beled, or la­beled with just an old ru­ral route ad­dress on the mail­box. Every home and busi­ness needs to have the 911 ad­dress in large enough re­flec­tive num­bers that it can be clearly seen from the street, both day and night, whether on a ru­ral route mail­box or es­pe­cially, if it is on your house. Valu­able, some­times life-sav­ing time can be saved if every home and busi­ness is clearly la­beled with its ad­dress.

 

Our com­mu­nity-po­lic­ing group meets on the third Thurs­day of every month at the Town Of­fice at 7:00PM. Please watch for both our news­pa­per ads and the post­ings around town an­nounc­ing the meet­ings. I am en­cour­ag­ing every citi­zen to come and take part in this ex­change of in­for­ma­tion and ideas. Origi­nally set up as just an in­for­ma­tion shar­ing meet­ing, this cur­rent group has de­cided to take on or­ga­niz­ing a chil­dren’s bi­cy­cle ro­deo dur­ing Rich­mond’s Sum­mer-Rec pro­gram this year, and a Child Safety Seat Check-up event dur­ing this years Rich­mond Days cele­bra­tion. The group is al­ways seek­ing new mem­bers and fresh ideas on how to most ef­fi­ciently use po­lice de­part­ment re­sources, com­bined with citi­zen in­volve­ment, for the bene­fit of the en­tire com­mu­nity. Please join us at a meet­ing this year. I also want resi­dents to know that they are able to sched­ule a Ride-A-Long with Rich­mond Po­lice of­fi­cers at al­most any time. All in­ter­ested adults must sign a li­abil­ity waiver, and any per­son un­der the age of 18 must, ad­di­tion­ally, have a par­ent’s per­mis­sion and waiver sig­na­ture.

 

Rich­mond Po­lice can be con­tacted at any time, 24-hours a day. All emer­gen­cies are to be called in to 911. All other re­quests for po­lice ser­vices are to be called in to our Com­mu­ni­ca­tions Cen­ter at 737-8518. Citi­zens can also file com­plaints at the po­lice sta­tion 24-hours a day by us­ing the free, di­rect-dial lobby tele­phone. The de­part­ment fax num­ber is 737-5611 and our web­site is www.richmondpolice.org. Our web­site is up­dated monthly with cur­rent sta­tis­tics and other in­for­ma­tive links. Citi­zens can e-mail re­quests for a prop­erty check or make other non-emer­gency in­quires or re­quests.
