May 2026

The boundaries of Beat Six are east of S. 11^th Street, to the Brazos River, and south of the Union Pacific railroad tracks to Austin/Loop FM 762. This area is commonly referred to as the Historic and Old Town Districts of the City of Richmond.

During the month of May, I met with three residents that reside in my Beat. I met with Melissa while patrolling in Beat 6. Melissa stated she did not have any issues at this time. Melissa and I then spoke about how she rents out the other side of her duplex to a police officer from a nearby agency and if I had already met her. I then gave my Melissa business card, and I advised her to email me or give me a call if she has any issues or questions.

I then met Rosemary while on a call for service. Rosemary called needing assistance to turn off her car after she got home from the hospital with a broken hand.  I then assisted Rosemary by carrying her items inside.  I then asked if she needed anything else from me which she stated no. I then told Rosemary to call the PD if she needed police or medical assistance.

I then made contact with Anne after I noticed she had left her car door open after taking in her groceries. After Anne advised that she accidentally left it open she stated she did not have any issues at this time. I then provided her with my business card and told her to email me or give me a call if she has any issues or questions.  

Goals Accomplished:

This month I accomplished one of my goals, which was making contact with people within my Beat.  I have also started to build a professional relationship with the business owners in my Beat. I also was able to inform the Richmond citizens of strategies for crime prevention while talking to the citizens I meet during my public Safety Contacts.

Goals Next Month:

My goal is to make contact with business within my Beat and inform them of better security practices. Another goal I have is to follow up with citizens from prior Beat Contacts. I’m going to check all the bars located within the Beat.  Another goal I have is to do more Beat-oriented patrols in the evening during my shift. Another goal is to continue to interact with more younger members of the community to encourage them to call the police when they see something and to show them law enforcement are not bad people. Another goal I have is to inform the Richmond citizens of strategies for crime prevention.
