The 20-year-old Brown was sentenced in California last month to five years' probation, six months of community labour and a year of domestic violence counselling for the February attack. He is performing the labor in Richmond near his home.
In a letter to the judge, Richmond Police Chief Bryan Norwood outlined some of Brown's tasks. They include graffiti removal, trash pickup, washing cars, cleaning and maintaining grounds.
Norwood said Brown will be supervised during his service, but Brown would have to pay for any additional security if the public becomes aware of his presence.
