Richmond’s safest neighborhood

A recent story on nbc12 calls the area around Randolph Street “Richmond’s safest neighborhood”:

The neighborhood on Randolph Street looks like any other but it’s what you don’t see that makes it the most different. Illegal activity here is not only decreasing, but police have found it rivals other areas in metro Richmond.

“As far as violent crimes, it’s a minimum,” said Lt. Michael Stith with the Richmond Police Department. “This is probably one of the safest places in the city to be honest with you.”
