The majority of officers in Richmond are assigned to Frontline / Uniform policing roles. This ensures we are able to quickly and efficiently respond to over 35,000 calls for service each year. Officers on the frontline are supported by a variety of teams, which specialize in all aspects of public safety. In additional, civilian support staff perform numerous work functions to ensure police can spend more time on proactive policing initiatives.
