October 2025

Beat 3 consists of the area south of Clay St., west of N. Tenth St., east of Collins Rd., and north of the BNSF railroad tracks. Known main buildings within Beat 3 include the Juan Seguin Early Childhood Center, Friends of North Richmond, Rosenberg-Richmond Helping Hands, and the Collin’s Shopping Center with the attached washateria.

During the month of 0ctober, I did not observe any major issues in my Beat. The north boundary of my Beat (Clay St.) is still under construction. A RV has been parked in the area where the old carwash used to be on 140 Collins Rd. (FM 3155), and I intend to find out who the owner is. 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 October, I spoke with Alex Cevallos during the annual National Night Out, where the residents of the community have the opportunity to meet and interact with the police officers that patrol the community. Mr. Cevallos came and sat with the patrol officers of Beat 3 consisting of myself and Officer Ramirez. Mr. Cevallos inquired about our job and what it takes to become a police officer. Mr. Cevallos stated he did not have any issues or concerns regarding the city. I advised Mr. Cevallos to contact me or the police department if he has any issues or questions.

I also met Anna Nguyen during a business check at our local Walgreens. Ms. Nguyen stated that she was just driving through town to visit a local bar called “The Lit Book Bar” that she heard about online through Tik Tok, and that she was just grabbing a few things from Walgreens. Ms. Nguyen stated she does not have any issues at this time. I advised Ms. Nguyen to contact me or the police department if she has any issues or questions. I wished her a fun time and asked her if she could tell me her thoughts on it as I’ve heard about it before as well.

I re-met with an old Beat contact of mine from a few months ago, Jacob Rivera, while conducting a property check of a local church known as Cornerstone Ministries as they were hosting a fall festival harvest community sale. Mr. Rivera informed me that he recently got a promotion at his job and that he was excited. Mr. Rivera stated he does not have any issues at this time, but that he was glad he got to speak with me again. Mr. Rivera stated if he has any issues or if he sees anything suspicious, he will contact the Richmond Police Department.

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

Officer Ramirez

During the month of October, I continued to conduct my routine patrol throughout the night to deter criminal activity. The area of Douglas St has had a recent increase of foot traffic there towards the end of the month with several unknown subjects appearing to set up camp on the property at 204. It’s like a HOOVERVILLE! Calls for service within my Beat were low this month.

While patrolling I contacted a Joel Nieto who was at 140 Collins. Nieto stated he was just in the area visiting family on Preston St (wouldn’t elaborate who).

I also met Clyde Coffman outside his resident, who said the police “should stop bothering people out here at night”. Because people regularly out past midnight who aren’t going to work never do anything bad.  

I also spoke with one of our local night owls Brian Cobbins who is currently regularly camping out at 204 Douglas St. Cobbins stated they “ain’t doin nun illegal on the property”. Kinda questionable with several people coming and leaving the property with backpacks and on bikes, who also jump off the bikes when they see officers.

During the month of October, I regularly patrolled the areas where I saw subjects daily on foot or on bikes in hopes of preventing thefts. I also regularly patrolled the city as whole to be seen as much as possible throughout the night.

November continues the holiday season with cooler weather and more events throughout the area. The goal is to keep the public aware that Richmond Police Department is active while out on the streets during the night in hopes to keep the public safe. A personal goal will be to make stops on the subjects who jump off the bikes after seeing officers during the night, to investigate their suspicious activity.
