From the office of the Chief of Police:

August 20, 2007—Chief Ronald Ricucci announced a new program today, where police officers will be leaving business cards with a message from the Chief at all businesses in the City of Takoma Park. The card lets you know your business was checked the prior night by a named officer and was safe and secure. It also reminds merchants to have an updated emergency notification list at the police station. Chief Ricucci states that this is a part of our community policing outreach efforts to partner with the
business community. We want our business owners to know we are checking their businesses at night.
