Please join us in congratulating these officers on completing their careers as Police Officers serving the Richmond Community, with pride and honor! We wish them much success in their next chapter.
Additionally, On Monday, April 17th, 2023 we welcomed a new employee as the Records Specialist. Indie Pierce has joined our staff in this key role. She comes to us from the Wayne County Dispatch Center and knows our structure and software systems.
