(Richmond, IN)--Some members of the Richmond Police Department have spent the last few weeks working with homeless people to help them find alternative places to live and get social services.  On Wednesday, RPD teamed up with other city departments to remove homeless encampments from several areas of the city.  Crews removed debris and trash from private property and from other areas that included South 37^th, the G Street Bridge, the gorge, and Veterans Memorial Park.  The efforts have been aided by an organization called Bridges for Life.
