Radford City Police Department Supports the Virginia Community Policing Act


The Radford City Police Department continuously collects data as required by state law established through the Virginia Community Policing Act. The act requires law enforcement officers to collect information from drivers during all traffic and investigatory stops, and requires agencies to submit the data to a statewide Community Policing Reporting Database. The department policy prohibits biased based policing and utilizes this data to ensure compliance.
