It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of RPD Motor Officer Jonathan Platzner. Officer Platzner died unexpectedly after suffering a medical emergency this morning while off duty.
Officer Platzner had been a dedicated member of the Richmond Police Department since 2012. Throughout his years of service, he demonstrated professionalism, compassion and a steadfast commitment to the safety of our community.
