Richmond Station Newsletter - Friday, 06/08/2012

 Captain’s Message

Today will be my last day as Captain of Richmond Station.  This month, the SFPD will see the retirement of a large number of Captains. As a result, there will be lots of transfers and movement of personnel.  When I learned of the upcoming openings at the night captain position, I requested to be considered for the job.  The hours work well with my family situation, and will allow me the opportunity to spend more quality time with my wife and 5 young children.  I am excited about this new chapter in my career. 

It has been my great honor to serve as the Captain of Richmond Station for the past 6 months.  The Officers at Richmond Station are some of the finest and most professional officers that I have ever worked with.  I have really enjoyed working with all of the residents, merchants, and various community groups to identify and solve problems in the district. 

Captain Sharon Ferrigno will be taking over as the Captain of Richmond Station.  Captain Ferrigno is a 28-year veteran of the San Francisco Police Department and comes with a wealth of operational, investigative, and administrative experience.  Captain Ferrigno will definitely be an asset to the Richmond Police District. 

Our next Community meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 19, 2012 at 7pm.  It will be in the Community Room, here at Richmond Station, 461 6^th Ave.

Richmond Station distributes an email newsletter every Friday.  Our newsletter, which is sent to several hundred email addresses, contains information about recent crimes, arrests and upcoming events in the District.   To be added to this list, please email us at[email protected].
