Thank you to everyone who joined us at Kingdom Embassy Ministries for our May Civic League Meeting. We were honored to welcome Ramin Fatehi, Norfolk’s Commonwealth’s Attorney—and a proud Colonial Place resident—as our main speaker. Mr. Fatehi shared insights on justice reform, public safety initiatives, and his 2025 re-election campaign. While a Q&A session followed, no public questions or comments were submitted.

Our NEW registered agent, Grayson T. Orsini, a Senior Associate with Williams Mullen, spoke at our meeting to introduce himself and talked to the audience about what a registered agent does and how we can support the civic league moving forward.

Officer Brenton Blakeslee, our Community Resource Officer, provided the latest crime report. He talked a bit about a “swatting,” a term used to describe when police are falsely called on a residence/person, in regards to a false call incident that had happened in the neighborhood earlier that morning. He also noted that car break-ins have been on a notable rise this month and to take ensure doors are locked and not leave valuables in plain sight. Officer Blakeslee also spoke about a minors curfew hour of 11pm in effect. Also he shared that while they are aware of the racing motor bikes/4-wheelers, but that they are not permitted by law to pursue offenders once in motion due to safety reasons, making it difficult to make arrests.

Gene Ward, resident of Colonial Place and nominee for Civic League Vice President, introduced himself to the attending members and shared a bit about his background in community work.
