Beat 8

Officer David Childs

October 2011

            I made three new Beat contacts during the month of October.  I met my first contact Mr. Rodriguez as he was leaving for work.  I advised Mr. Rodriguez that I am the Beat Officer for Beat 8.  I asked Mr. Rodriguez how long he had lived in the area and if he had any issues that I could help him with.  Mr. Rodriguez stated that he has lived in the area for approximately nine years.  Mr. Rodriguez stated that he did not have any issues to report.  I met my second Beat contact Ms. Smith one day outside of a residence owned by her mother.  Ms. Smith advised that they were in the process of remodeling her mother’s residence and that her mother was currently living with her at her residence directly across the street.  Ms. Smith stated that they use to have trouble with people trespassing on her mother’s property but that has been resolved.  Ms. Smith stated that she did not have any other issues to report.  I met my third Beat contact Mr. Salazar as he was leaving for work.  Mr. Salazar advised that he has lived in the area for approximately two years.  Mr. Salazar stated that the area is usually quiet and that he did not have any issues or concerns to report.

                I removed several bandit signs during the month of October.  Many of the illegally placed signs were for garage sales located on the North side of Richmond.  I will be concentrating on junk vehicles and ordinance violations in the month of November.

                I once again made contact with Beat 8 (RSO), Ricardo Valdez.  Mr. Valdez was at his residence when I made contact.  Mr. Valdez verified that his information is correct and that nothing had changed.  Mr. Valdez remains in compliance as required by the conditions of his RSO status.
