UPD Officer of the Month

The Urbana Police Department proudly recognizes Detective Richard Coleman as our February Officer of the Month!

Detective Coleman has always been an exemplary investigator, but his recent efforts in tackling a string of motor vehicle burglaries deserve to be recognized.
     Detective Coleman spent countless hours examining every detail assigned to this case, often working beyond his normal work hours to prevent additional burglaries. His diligence paid off with an arrest and a recovery of substantial amounts of stolen property. But it’s not just about numbers; it’s about the impact on our community. His work reverberates beyond individual cases, positively affecting everyone in Urbana.
     Detective Coleman is also recognized for being an exceptional team player. He collaborates seamlessly with colleagues, recognizing their contributions and fostering a supportive environment. His humility shines through—he’s quick to credit others and slow to claim the spotlight.
     Thank you, Detective Coleman! Your dedication inspires us all. We thank you, and our community is safer because of your efforts!
