31st Annual Valor Awards honor 3 Henrico officers, other first-responders
Three Henrico police officers were among the recipients of Valor Awards December 2 at a ceremony held at the Greater Richmond Convention Center.
Officer Lawrence D. Pacifico Jr. received a 2021 Silver Award for his successful intervention with a person who was threatening to jump off a bridge, but whom he ultimately pulled to safety. Sgt. William R. Bodenhamer, Sr., and Officer Brian R. Wolfe received 2020 Bronze Awards for their efforts to safely manage and disperse a crowd after gunfire erupted during a pick-up football game.
RIC air traffic control tower to remain open 24/7
The air traffic control tower at Richmond International Airport will remain open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, after the Federal Aviation Administration announced that it had ended consideration of closing it from midnight to 5 a.m. daily.
The announcement came several weeks after U.S. Senators Tim Kaine and Mark Warner urged the FAA to keep the tower open.
