During the month of February, I did not observe any major issues in my Beat.  The north boundary of my Beat (Clay St.) is still under construction.  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 February, I spoke with Alexis Mendoza.  I met Mr. Mendoza during a business check at a local auto parts store known as O’Rielley’s, addressed as 1121 US 90A.  Mr. Mendoza stated he tries to keep up with the local politics and the upcoming election and was asking about our local politics and my opinion about them. I informed him that I am not well informed when it comes to that.  Mr. Mendoza stated he did not have any issues or concerns regarding the city.  I handed Mr. Mendoza my business card and advised him to contact me or the police department if he has any issues or questions during his time here.

Additionally, I met Robert Dawson while conducting my regular patrol duty of the city.  Mr. Dawson was asking about some “police” that came to his neighbor’s house the day prior looking for his neighbor who was not there at the time.  I informed him that we had no calls for service to his neighbor’s house and to contact us next time he thinks it might not be the real police.  Mr. Dawson stated he does not have any issues at this time.  Mr. Dawson stated that if he has any issues or if he sees anything suspicious, he will contact the Richmond Police Department.  I handed him my business card to him to keep.

I met Daniela Rojas while I was conducting business check of a local pharmacy called CVS addressed as 11950 Mason Rd.  Ms. Rojas stated she lives in the area but did not want to give specifics.  Ms. Rojas stated she does not have any issues or concerns at this time.  I handed Ms. Rojas my business card and advised her to contact me or the police department if she has any issues or questions.

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

Goals Accomplished:

Patrolled known high crime areas and talked to 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.
