New park named for city police lieutenant

A new city park is being named for the late Richmond Police Lt. Ozell Johnson, a pioneer in community policing in the city. City Council voted unanimously Sept. 28 to designate city-owned property at 241 E. Ladies Mile Road in the Providence Park neighborhood in North Side as a park and name it for Lt. Johnson. “As a lifelong city resident, I’m very excited about this honor being bestowed on my late father,” said Richmond Police Maj. Odetta Johnson.
