During the month of July, I did not observe any major issues in my Beat.  The north boundary of my Beat (Clay St.) is still under construction (yes, still), with Clay St being closed off between N 10^th St and Collins St.  I conducted multiple business and property checks in my Beat during my shifts making sure that police presence was seen throughout.

During the month of July, I spoke with Jessica Thompson.  I met Ms. Thompson while I was conducting a business check of a local gas station known as Pit Stop, addressed as 22323 Southwest Freeway.  Ms. Thompson stated that she has lived in the countryside of Rosenberg for about 5 years and was currently heading home after leaving work early.  Ms. Thompson stated visits the corner store frequently as they have best breakfast tacos in the area.  Ms. Thompson stated she does not have any issues or concerns regarding the city at the moment.  I handed Ms. Thompson my business card and advised her to contact me or the police department if she has any issues or questions.

Additionally, I met Paula Ramon while conducting my regular patrol duties of the city.  Ms. Ramon was walking her two dogs along with her granddaughter inside a toy wagon.  Ms. Ramon stated she lives in the city and has lived in the city for the past 20 years.  Ms. Ramon stated she loves living here and that she supports law enforcement.  Ms. Ramon stated she does not have any issues at this time.  Ms. Ramon stated that if she has any issues or if she sees anything suspicious, she will contact the Richmond Police Department.  I gave her my business card to her to keep. I also “deputized” her granddaughter by giving her a Jr Police badge sticker. She was ecstatic to wear the Jr police badge.

I also met Ricardo Nunes while I was conducting a business check of a local gas station known as Top Spot, addressed as 2120 Thompson Rd.  Mr. Nunes stated he was in town visiting family to watch the final of the world cup.  Mr. Nunes stated he is excited to see the world cup and that he hopes that Argentina loose.  Mr. Nunes stated he does not have any issues or concerns at this time.  I later handed Mr. Nunes my business card and advised him to contact me or the police department if he has any issues or questions.

I met William Paul while conducting a business check of a local pharmacy known as Walgreens, addressed as 1600 Jackson St.  Mr. Paul wanted to thank the police officers for everything that we do and wanted to let us know that he supports the blue line.  Mr. Paul stated he currently has no issues with the city.  I handed him my business card and informed him to contact the police department if he has any questions or concerns.

I met with the RSO in my Beat and turned in the proper paperwork.

Goals Accomplished:

Patrolled known high crime areas and interacted with younger members of the community.

Goals Next Month:

My goal is to continue to interact with younger members of the community to encourage them not to be scared to call the police when our presence is required; as well as to show them law enforcement are there to help and not to hurt people. I also want to keep checking our known high crime areas.

During the Month of July, I patrolled the entirety of Beat 3 focusing on showing a bigger police presence in the area, assuring residents of their safety. I proactively patrolled Beat 3 looking to curb the amount of foot traffic seen in the early mornings.

I met with (3) residents, Johnathan Morales Brian Cobbin, and Matthew Morrison.

I spoke with Mr. Morales during a property check at 1515 Preston st, he informed me of how wonderful it was seeing the increased police presence on the northside of Richmond.

Brian Cobbin is a local unhoused individual who I know from various calls in the area, I stopped to speak to him and made sure he was doing ok.

I also spoke with Matthew Morrison. I know Matthew from a previous call at the Town and Country apartments. Matthew suffers from health issues, so I stopped to speak with him in passing to make sure he was doing well and didn’t have any other issues.

Goals Accomplished:

I increased my presence in Beat 3, during the nighttime hours.

Goals Next Month:

Proactively patrol Beat 3 and further meet other residences in the area, ensuring them of a strong police presence.
