The Richmond City Council officially wants Police Chief Rodney Monroe to stay put. With Monroe one of three finalists to become police chief of Charlotte, N.C., council members voted unanimously last night to urge him to remain chief in Richmond. The resolution, of which all council members were co-patrons, praises Monroe for efforts producing the city's lowest crime rate in 26 years. The resolution also says the council encourages him to remain in Richmond and "to lead the city in its efforts to reduce crime, improve its Department of Police, and make the city of Richmond safer for all citizens, visitors, churches and businesses." |
