Richmond Police Officers Association President Ben Therriault said the police vehicle was shot at six times while an officer was inside. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp>No residents or other law enforcement personnel were injured, according to police. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Simmons said the Richmond Police Department SWAT team and Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Department responded to the scene to assist, along with other law enforcement agencies. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Richmond Police’s crisis negotiations team contacted the suspect in an attempt to “bring the incident to a peaceful resolve,” Simmons said, before police ultimately deployed “chemical agents” in an attempt to get her to comply. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Before the woman was taken into custody, Therriault said she briefly tried to “sprint and run away.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“I’m extremely grateful that our officer is expected to survive and that no resident, no community member or no assisting personnel were injured in this unfortunate incident,” he said Thursday. “Given the number of rounds fired, this incident could have ended with many additional injuries or several losses of life.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office said Monday that Richmond police were likely still investigating, as the department had not yet referred Robinson’s case. The department said in a statement Friday that it anticipated filing additional charges. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Earlier on Thursday afternoon, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12098395/pittsburg-officer-man-shot-after-altercation-inside-police-headquarters\">Pittsburg officer and suspect\u003c/a> being booked into jail were shot in an altercation at the city’s police headquarters.

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.

Experts have debated how to more effectively respond to mental health crises for decades, and most recently, a movement to move away from law enforcement responses entirely gained momentum after \u003ca href=\"http://v\">George Floyd’s murder in 2020\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While police remain the de facto responders to mental health emergencies in many places, including Richmond, experts say there are still a number of reforms law enforcement agencies could implement to improve their responses.

While some residents blamed the City Council for not activating the program more quickly, Richmond police spokesperson Lt.

Other places with cases included Los Angeles, San Diego and cities in Orange and San Bernardino counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the use of the drug \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/ap-top-news-health-politics-mn-state-wire-us-news-a872ba9aeeba2f5b0624f8af77f928d3\">ketamine\u003c/a> has drawn scrutiny in other states, AP’s investigation found that California paramedics almost always used midazolam, better known by its brand name Versed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deaths were among \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/associated-press-investigation-deaths-police-encounters-02881a2bd3fbeb1fc31af9208bb0e310\">more than 1,000 that AP’s investigation documented\u003c/a> across the United States of people who died after officers used not their guns, but physical force or weapons such as Tasers that — like sedatives — are not meant to kill. Medical officials said police force caused or contributed to about half of all deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was impossible for the AP to determine the exact role injections may have played in many of the 94 deaths involving sedation that reporters found nationally during the investigation’s 2012–2021 timeframe. Few of those deaths were attributed to the sedation and authorities rarely investigated whether injections were appropriate, focusing more often on the use of force by police and the other drugs in people’s systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea behind the injections is to calm people who are combative, often due to drugs or a psychotic episode, so they can be transported to the hospital. Supporters say sedatives enable rapid treatment while protecting frontline responders from violence. Critics argue that the medications, given without consent, can be too risky to be administered during police encounters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California was among the states with the most sedation cases, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/projects/investigation-police-use-of-force/\">according to the investigation\u003c/a>, which the AP did in collaboration with FRONTLINE (PBS) and the Howard Centers for Investigative Journalism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Midazolam was given in 15 of the 16 California cases, all by paramedics outside of a hospital. The drug can cause respiratory depression, a side effect experts say may be dangerous when mixed with police restraint tactics that restrict breathing — or with alcohol or certain drugs that a person may already have consumed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 16th case involved a man injected with a similar class of drug, lorazepam, while police restrained him at a hospital in San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two emergency room doctors in San Diego told the AP they have discussed switching to ketamine, which supporters say is safer and works faster than midazolam. But the doctors said negative headlines about ketamine, especially after deaths and misuse in Colorado, stalled that idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11981111,news_11871364,news_11979576\"]AP’s investigation shows that the risks of sedation during behavioral emergencies go beyond any specific drug, said Eric Jaeger, an emergency medical services educator in New Hampshire who has studied the issue and advocates for additional safety measures and training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now that we have better information, we know that it can present a significant danger regardless of the sedative agent used,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sedatives were often given as treatments for “excited delirium,” an agitated condition linked to drug use or mental illness that medical groups have disavowed in recent years. California in 2023 became the first state to bar excited delirium as a valid medical diagnosis, including as a cause of death in autopsies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story is part of an ongoing investigation led by The Associated Press in collaboration with the Howard Center for Investigative Journalism programs and FRONTLINE (PBS).

Few of those deaths were attributed to the sedation and authorities rarely investigated whether injections were appropriate, focusing more often on the use of force by police and the other drugs in people’s systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea behind the injections is to calm people who are combative, often due to drugs or a psychotic episode, so they can be transported to the hospital. Supporters say sedatives enable rapid treatment while protecting frontline responders from violence. Critics argue that the medications, given without consent, can be too risky to be administered during police encounters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California was among the states with the most sedation cases, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/projects/investigation-police-use-of-force/\">according to the investigation\u003c/a>, which the AP did in collaboration with FRONTLINE (PBS) and the Howard Centers for Investigative Journalism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Midazolam was given in 15 of the 16 California cases, all by paramedics outside of a hospital. The drug can cause respiratory depression, a side effect experts say may be dangerous when mixed with police restraint tactics that restrict breathing — or with alcohol or certain drugs that a person may already have consumed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 16th case involved a man injected with a similar class of drug, lorazepam, while police restrained him at a hospital in San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two emergency room doctors in San Diego told the AP they have discussed switching to ketamine, which supporters say is safer and works faster than midazolam. But the doctors said negative headlines about ketamine, especially after deaths and misuse in Colorado, stalled that idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
