Hey there neighbors!

With Memorial Day behind us, there is no question that summer is here! I hope this season will be filled with excitement, adventure, and a whole lot of fun in the sun. Speaking of, we are just a month away from our neighborhood Fourth of July event.

New Richardson Police Officers

A swearing-in ceremony was held last month for Officer Cole, Officer Ealy, and Officer Gantt. Officers Cole (16 years of experience) and Ealy (2 years of experience) were hired through RPD’s Lateral Officer Program. Officer Gantt is a recent graduate of the Plano-Richardson Police Academy, where he distinguished himself as class Valedictorian, and was awarded Top Shot for best marksmanship. We say congratulations to all the new police officers who will serve our community and neighborhood. If you are interested in becoming an officer, RPD is hiring.
