Earlier today, the Brooklyn Heights Police and Fire Departments assisted federal authorities at an ICE facility located in the Village of Brooklyn Heights.

Our officers assisted by managing traffic and securing the area while federal personnel conducted their investigation.

Because this is a federal investigation, any questions regarding the investigative findings should be directed to the Department of Homeland Security.

At this time, there is no known threat to the public and residents can expect normal activity in the area.

We had a fantastic turnout, learned important bike safety skills, and had plenty of fun along the way!

A huge thank you to Bike Cleveland, the Brooklyn Heights Men’s Service Club and UH Parma Medical Center for their generous helmet donations, helping keep our young riders safe. We also want to thank everyone who volunteered, participated, and helped make this event such a success.

Day 4 complete! 🚴🇺🇸 Officer Grotenrath and Officer Rees have completed their 300-mile ride to Washington, D.C. to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial.

Alongside Team Greater Cleveland, they had the honor of riding with Karen Ritter in memory of her son, Cleveland Police Officer Jamieson Ritter. We continue to honor our fallen officers and remember the ultimate sacrifices they made. Never forgotten. 💙🖤
