A Message from Chief Jeremy Richards

Twenty-five years ago today, our nation changed forever.

Most people started September 11, 2001, like any other morning. They went to work, boarded flights, and said goodbye to loved ones. By the end of the day, thousands of lives had been taken, leaving families with a pain they still carry.

We hold in our hearts the men, women, and children we lost. We honor the first responders who rushed directly into danger to save others. And we stand with the families who waited through agonizing hours and days for news that never came.

That dark day also revealed the very best of who we are.

In the weeks and years that followed, countless people answered the call to serve. They joined our military. They became police officers, firefighters, paramedics, nurses, teachers, and volunteers. They chose to build lives dedicated to protecting, guiding, and helping others, and many made the ultimate sacrifice doing so.

We saw neighbors helping neighbors, strangers looking out for one another, and communities standing shoulder to shoulder. The things that divided us faded away. We were simply Americans looking out for each other.

That same spirit lives right here in Richwood.

Every day, the men and women of the Richwood Police Department are reminded that wearing this uniform is about service. It is about showing up when you need us most, protecting the vulnerable, and being a steady anchor for our neighbors in both hard times and good.

Today, we remember the lives lost, honor those who stepped up to serve, and keep their families in our thoughts and prayers.

May we never forget their courage, their sacrifice, or the unity that brought us together.

We remember. We honor. We stand together. We never forget.

If September 11 holds a personal memory for you or your family, please feel free to honor a loved one by sharing their name or story in the comments below.

God bless America.

🚨Scam alert

‼️ Public Service Announcement: Scam Alert ‼️

We've become aware of a scam that is going on in our community targeting families of individuals who are or were recently in our custody. Citizens reported receiving phone calls from someone falsely claiming to be an employee of the criminal justice system, to include members of the Sheriff’s Office, probation officers, county clerks, and the like, requesting electronic payment for bonds to be posted, or fees associated with ankle monitors and breath intoxilyzers.

The Sheriff’s Office does not and will never solicit money over the phone, electronically, or directly from citizens.

If anyone contacts you claiming to be a Sheriff’s Office employee and asks for personal information, financial details, or payment of any kind:

• Hang up immediately.
• Call the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office non‑emergency line at 979‑864‑2200 to verify the legitimacy of the call.

Your vigilance helps protect our community from fraud. Please share this information to help prevent others from becoming victims.

The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch through Wednesday evening as Tropical Storm Edouard moves inland.

Rain and storms will increase today and tonight across Brazoria County, including Richwood.

A swath of 3 to 6 inches of rain is possible, with isolated totals of 10 to 15+ inches where storms repeatedly train over the same areas. This raises the risk of flooding on streets, low lying areas, creeks, and roads.

Turn Around, Don’t Drown. Never drive through floodwaters.

Monitor weather updates closely at weather.gov/houston. Be prepared to move to higher ground if a Flash Flood Warning is issued.

Stay safe.
