A Conversation with the Richmond Police Chief (kalw) - Last year, Chris Magnus took over as chief of police in Richmond after holding the same position in Fargo, North Dakota. There are similarities. Both cities have about 100,000 residents. But the similarities end when it comes to violent crime. Fargo averages about 1 murder every 2 years. Richmond has suffered more than 40 so far in 2007. Magnus discusses uprooting violence, race relations, risks, rewards and the perils of the job. © Copyright 2009, kalw
