Here are highlights from their conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A reckoning after George Floyd\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Simmons said when he joined Richmond Police, former chief Chris Magnus was trying to shift the department toward community-oriented policing. According to Simmons, officers were encouraged to build relationships with community-based organizations, such as neighborhood councils and business districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[These groups] would begin to know who their beat officer [was], and there would be a personal connection made. And officers would assume the ownership of the quality of life and the crime issues within those areas that they’re assigned,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12069790\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 1707px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12069790\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/Simmons_Timothy-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/Simmons_Timothy-scaled.jpg 1707w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/Simmons_Timothy-2000x3000.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/Simmons_Timothy-160x240.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/Simmons_Timothy-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/Simmons_Timothy-1365x2048.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Timothy Simmons, the new chief for the Richmond Police Department, has been a law enforcement officer for 17 years, beginning at the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Richmond Police Department)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The department has faced its share of scandals. In 2014, Officer Wallace Jensen \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11733690/even-with-new-disclosure-law-fight-continues-to-unseal-californias-secret-police-files\">shot and killed\u003c/a> 24-year-old Richard “Pedie” Perez, who was unarmed. Richmond Police was also \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11767613/ex-richmond-police-lieutenant-swapped-sexually-explicit-texts-with-exploited-teen\">involved\u003c/a> in a massive sexual exploitation case centered on a teenage sex worker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the watershed moment likely arrived in earnest in 2020, after racial justice protests sparked by the police murder of George Floyd. In response, law enforcement agencies around the country began to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/05/23/nx-s1-5399738/george-floyd-police-justice-change\">reexamine\u003c/a> their own policies and practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Departments were thrown into disarray,” Simmons said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, several East Bay cities, such as Berkeley, Oakland and Richmond, created task forces to reimagine public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simmons represented the force in Richmond’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.ci.richmond.ca.us/4011/Reimagining-Public-Safety\">effort\u003c/a> but said the reallocation of $3 million from the city’s budget to fund policing alternatives had an unintended effect on staffing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There wasn’t a strong consideration as to what the impacts to the police department would be directly,” he said. “People on the lower end of the seniority tenure started to believe that there might be layoffs, and they didn’t want to stick around to see if they were going to lose their job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simmons said within a two-year period, Richmond Police lost around 45 officers who were hired at other jurisdictions — including those who had been working to build community relationships.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We started to be a little bit more on the reactive side, rather than on the proactive side when it comes to solving neighborhood problems,” said Simmons, who, as chief, plans to focus on recruitment and retention to improve relationship-building work.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Mental health for officers and residents\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>One of Simmons’ other priorities is to improve mental health support for officers. Research has long shown police officers face \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/05/26/nx-s1-5389653/police-protests-mental-health-treatment-growth\">worse\u003c/a> health outcomes than the general public, specifically as it relates to higher rates of depression, burnout and post-traumatic stress disorder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re short-staffed, officers are working a lot of mandatory overtime. So, it’s a challenge for us to maintain proper mental health and proper work-life balance and make sure that our staff gets to spend time with their families and their friends and spend time doing things that you know fills their spirit, so to speak,” Simmons said.[aside postID=news_12068817 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/RS55037_023_KQED_ChevronRefineryStrike_04072022-qut-1020x680.jpg']The way Richmond Police handles mental health made headlines last year, following the police shooting death of 27-year-old \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12054383/during-mental-health-crises-california-police-are-still-first-responders-its-not-working\">Angel Montaño\u003c/a>. During a 911 call, his family said he was threatening to kill them and cited “mental health issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, Bisa French, Richmond Police’s former chief, called for reforms but expressed uncertainty about “what can be done differently.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simmons acknowledged that distress calls associated with mental health continue to be a challenge. He said the department will keep focusing on annual training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Until the system changes, this will continue to be an issue that society relies on law enforcement to be a response to,” he said. “We have a lot of work to do in this area, but Richmond [Police] and myself, we’re going to be committed to being as well-trained as we can, as empathetic as we possibly can and understanding the dynamics — while also putting the reverence for life as one of our primary things that is in our oath that we have to protect.

So, it’s a challenge for us to maintain proper mental health and proper work-life balance and make sure that our staff gets to spend time with their families and their friends and spend time doing things that you know fills their spirit, so to speak,” Simmons said.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And as leaders, we should be careful of our words because we don’t want to cause division,” she said. “But at the same time, we need to also understand that the thing about calling for his resignation when he has been a good mayor of Richmond, I think it’s overreaching and I believe it’s because of his stance on Palestine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jimenez said Martinez’s outreach to the Jewish community and his apology will help repair harm more than pushing him out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Councilmember Doria Robinson said voters should be allowed to make their decision at the ballot box.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has been quite painful to watch the news of this terrible incident. Lives were lost, people were injured and traumatized. Now is the time for mourning, support, and reflection,” she said in a statement. “My understanding is the mayor is in the process of answering for his reposts and is attempting to apologize and make amends with Richmond’s Jewish community. The upcoming June 2026 election will be the opportunity for residents to weigh in on his leadership.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

And as leaders, we should be careful of our words because we don’t want to cause division,” she said. “But at the same time, we need to also understand that the thing about calling for his resignation when he has been a good mayor of Richmond, I think it’s overreaching and I believe it’s because of his stance on Palestine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jimenez said Martinez’s outreach to the Jewish community and his apology will help repair harm more than pushing him out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Councilmember Doria Robinson said voters should be allowed to make their decision at the ballot box.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has been quite painful to watch the news of this terrible incident. Lives were lost, people were injured and traumatized. Now is the time for mourning, support, and reflection,” she said in a statement. “My understanding is the mayor is in the process of answering for his reposts and is attempting to apologize and make amends with Richmond’s Jewish community. The upcoming June 2026 election will be the opportunity for residents to weigh in on his leadership.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
