The police department has begun the
promotional process to fill a vacant lieutenant’s
position created by the retirement of veteran
Lieutenant Kenneth W. Stables. The vacancy also
creates a sergeant’s position. Written testing and
interviews will be conducted in March for both
positions.

On March 18,
2010, the department will recognize two motor
vehicle crash survivors with a “Saved by the
Belt” award. All across the Commonwealth, law
enforcement agencies recognize individuals who were
involved in a traffic crash and, because they were
wearing a safety belt or were in a child safety
restraint,
their
injuries were reduced or their lives were saved. The
recipients, a father and son, were involved in a
vehicle crash last August where their vehicle was
struck and flipped onto its side and slid on Conduit
Road near Old Town Creek Way. MedFlight airlifted
one recipient to the hospital while the second was
transported by ambulance. Although injuries were
life threatening, both occupants were Saved by
the Belt. A presentation and media conference
will be held on March 18, 2010 at 3:00 pm in the
police department community training room.

The police
department welcomes College Intern Phylicia “Ashley”
Robinson. Ashley, a senior at Virginia State
University, is majoring in criminal justice and
applied to the department to complete her internship
requirements in Colonial Heights. As a part of her
internship requirements, Ashley will spend 200 hours
with the department. The police department joins
efforts with local colleges and universities to
offer internship opportunities to eligible students.
The non-paid internship program offers students an
opportunity to observe and work in all divisions of
the department. The objective of the program is to
