Happy 5th Birthday to my partner, Jochie! 🐾🎉

It’s hard to believe we’ve already been working side by side for over three years. From day one, you’ve proven to be more than just a K9 you’re a loyal partner, a hard worker, and a true asset to our department, community and surrounding communities.

Day in and day out, you give everything you’ve got, never asking for anything in return except the chance to do your job and maybe a little extra playtime. I’m proud of the work we’ve done together and even more grateful for the bond we’ve built along the way.

Here’s to many more years on the job, staying safe, and continuing to serve together.

Happy Birthday, Jochie!

Dear Lordstown Businesses and Residents,

On behalf of our entire team, we extend our deepest gratitude for your overwhelming generosity during our recent community outreach efforts. Because of your continued support, our holiday initiatives were a tremendous success.

Through your contributions to our food drive, we were able to provide 50 complete holiday meals to local families between Thanksgiving and Christmas, helping ensure our neighbors could enjoy the season without the burden of food insecurity.

Additionally, your support of the Shop with a Cop program allowed us to take 14 children on a special shopping trip to Target. For children who were unable to attend in person, your donations made it possible to provide gift cards to students within our schools ensuring that no child was left out of the holiday spirit.

These programs are only possible because of the generosity, compassion, and dedication of the Lordstown community. Your support makes a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of our local youth and families.

Again, THANK YOU for standing with us and for helping make this holiday season brighter for so many.

With sincere appreciation,
Members of the Lordstown Police Department
