Questions about the COVID-19 vaccines? Ask an expert.
As the Delta variant is spreading rapidly in our community, getting the facts about the COVID-19 vaccines is more important than ever. Understanding that many people have questions about the vaccines, John Muir Health and Kaiser Permanente have partnered to give unbiased, straightforward information that people can trust.
The county’s two largest private healthcare providers recently launched www.GetAnswersContraCosta.org, which includes answers to common vaccine questions and issues as well as an online portal where the public can submit questions to be answered.
We encourage you to visit the website and talk to your doctor if you have questions or concerns about getting vaccinated.

The City Manager’s Office, Economic Development Department is thrilled to invite Richmond residents and business owners to a community forum to discuss the Richmond Business Investment and Attraction Strategy.

Info Sheet about the Literacy for Every Adult Program (LEAP)
Take a moment to check out LEAP’s info sheet to learn more about the program! If you have further questions about the enrollment process, feel free to call the office at 510-307-8084 or contact Sandra Arroyo at Sandra_Arroyo@ci.richmond.ca.us.
About the GED/High School Diploma Program at LEAP
What types of services do we offer?
LEAP offers literacy services that are free to adults 18 years of age and older. Literacy Services are suitable for anyone with an education level below that of a high school diploma. For example, someone who is struggling with basic literacy and needs assistance with tasks such as filling out a form or reading a training manual for their job. In addition, these services include assistance in earning your GED or your High School Diploma, assistance for English Language Learners (ELL), and assistance in basic digital literacy. The GED and the High School Diploma are two different pathways that a student may choose to earn an accredited high school equivalency and prove that they are qualified for certain jobs, trainings, or college admittance. The GED requires that students pass four subject matter tests (in reading/writing, social studies, science, and math). LEAP will educate a student in those subjects and walk them through the test taking process, including paying all fees. A high school diploma requires that a student earn all high school credits required by the CA Department of Education. Credits are earned by attending class and passing final examinations. LEAP does not offer a high school diploma, but does offer a full-ride scholarship, tutoring assistance, and administrative support to the Career Online High School Diploma (COHS). COHS is a fully online nationally accredited private High School. COHS requires that a student earn all the credits required by the Department of Education and a career certificate. COHS offers nine different career tracks in areas such as truck driving and office management.
How often do we provide services?
LEAP provides services all year round.
When do services begin? How long do they last?
LEAP tailors its educational services to a student’s needs. Since we are open all year round, a student may begin their basic literacy services at any time (this is not true of our ELL services). The services last for as long as the student needs and requests those services. Generally, services cease when a student completes his/her goal. For example, if the student’s goal is to read a training manual for a job, once their vocabulary and reading comprehension levels have made that material accessible, they would end services. Services also end once a student passes the GED or High School Diploma and no longer qualifies for services under the definition of literacy. LEAP will do it’s best to bridge that student to more appropriate services such as work placement or college enrollment.
What does the intake process consist of?
The intake process consists of four steps (the ELL intake process is different). First, a student fills out an application. This can be done over the phone, over zoom, or by coming to the office in person. Once the student fills out the application, they will be contacted for an orientation which can also be done over the phone, zoom or in person. An orientation includes filling out all applicable paperwork, informing the student of all policies and procedures, discussing goals and potential study schedules, and scheduling the third step, a computerized academic assessment. The third step, a computerized academic assessment is a computerized test in reading and math (the ELL assessment includes listening). This can be completed at home or in person at LEAP’s office. Finally, a LEAP staff person will consider the orientation information, the assessment, and some back-and-forth coordination with the student to create a placement for the student. The placement will vary according to the student goal but generally includes an assigned teacher (or tutor), a classroom schedule, and access to proprietary online study materials.
About English Language Learners (ELL) at LEAP
The ELL class is 13 weeks long. Prior to enrollment, students need to fill out an application and then be tested to be placed in a class. Classes start at 9:30 A.M. and the last class is at 3:00 P.M. Monday through Friday.
Once students are tested, they are placed in a class depending on their level. At the beginning of each course, a student has a meeting with the instructor to set up goals and create a study plan. At the end of the course, the student is tested again to monitor improvement. The student then has a secondary meeting with the instructor to review goals and create a new study plan for the next class. All the classes are via Zoom except for the Beginning ELL class. This class is via phone, because the students don’t feel confident or prefer not to use a computer.
About Volunteer Services at LEAP
Tutors are separate from teachers in that they are volunteering their time (not getting paid) to work with a student one-to-one. The goal is to always enroll a student to work with a teacher because they meet more consistently, and teachers are the experts on the material. However, LEAP identifies that every student has different needs, and our tutors are a great resource for supplemental learning. Below are some examples of how tutoring matches are assigned.
A tutor is matched with a student when (1) the student is unable to attend the assigned class schedule with a teacher (2) the student is at a lower or higher level than the assigned class (3) the student works better in a one-to-one setting (4) the student is attending class but wants extra help (5) the content is very specific to the learner and requires individual learning.
We identify matches by the content tutors feel comfortable teaching (some tutors choose to only teach reading and stay away from math), schedules/availability for both parties (tutors are only required to meet twice a week/1-2-hour sessions), and most importantly personalities. We always want our tutors and students to get along!
Tutors are always available on an ongoing basis and commit to working at LEAP for a minimum of 6 months. To become a volunteer, they must apply through the City of Richmond website.

Crisis Negotiation At It’s Finest
Over the weekend, police officers received a request for assistance from the California Highway Patrol, in response to reports of an individual in distress on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge.
Acting Sergeant Ben Therriault, an experienced crisis negotiator with our Crisis Negotiation Team, immediately responded to assist. For over half an hour, A/Sergeant Therriault stood alongside our fire department and CHP partners, patiently speaking and listening to the man standing along the edge of the bridge.
Together, they talked about families and children, bonded over shared birthdays, and connected on a common basis of compassion and humanity. Imagine A/Sergeant Therriault’s relief when the man, with whom he had built a rapport, stepped off of the ledge, accepted an outstretched hand, and safely received a warm hug from your first responders.
Teamwork Makes The Dream Work
Last Friday morning, K-9 Officer Hodges saw a Jaguar SUV swerving down Carlson Boulevard at nearly 100mph. The driver drove through multiple red-lights before speeding onto the freeway.
The Jaguar SUV continued through the City of Vallejo and began driving in the wrong direction down the highway. Officers immediately stopped following the car as CHP monitored its direction via helicopter.
To everyone’s surprise, the Jaguar SUV pulled over to the shoulder of the freeway and jumped into the passenger seat of an awaiting Honda Accord. The Honda continued (in the correct direction) down the freeway before yielding to officers nearby.
Although the driver of the Honda was arrested without incident, the passenger (original suspect in the Jaguar SUV) had other plans, and attempted to climb into the driver’s seat to flee the scene. Ultimately, with the help of K9 Gunnar, officers were able to take the suspect safely into custody.
A records check revealed that the original suspect had multiple firearms-related warrants for his arrest, and was booked at the RPD jail for multiple charges.
Furthermore, a loaded pistol, which had been reported stolen in another state, was recovered from the Honda Accord. Officers also learned that the Jaguar SUV had recently been reported stolen in a nearby Bay Area city.
This incident was a great example of teamwork and collaboration amongst multiple agencies to bring a dangerous situation to a peaceful resolution!
 
National Dog Day!
This week we celebrated our four-legged friends, with a special shout-out to our K-9 partners here at Richmond PD!
