What an amazing day to be out celebrating Juneteenth!

The parade was incredible, with so many community partners coming together to celebrate, connect, and show support - Painesville City Fire Department Painesville Lions Club Laketran, and Lake Erie College, just to name a few.

The energy and community spirit in Painesville are absolutely incredible, and we are proud to be part of such a special event.

A huge thank you to the NAACP - Lake County, Ohio for organizing this fantastic celebration and bringing everyone together!

Today we honor Juneteenth and the significance it holds in our nation’s history.

Juneteenth is a time to reflect on freedom, celebrate resilience, and recognize the importance of building strong, inclusive communities.

We are proud to serve a community built on respect, unity, and compassion.

Together, we continue moving forward by supporting one another.

Not all citations are bad!

Officer Whitt recently issued a Safety Citation to this cool dude for being safe and rocking his mohawk helmet while riding his scooter.

Way to set a great example and show that safety can be stylish and fun!

A big thank you to Cane's for their generous support of our Safety Citation Program and for helping us recognize young people who make smart choices.

Happy Flag Day from the Painesville Police Department.

Today we honor the American flag - a symbol of our nation's history, freedom, unity, and values.

As we recognize Flag Day, we also reflect on the service and sacrifice of those who have defended our country and those who continue working every day to protect and serve our communities.

Today and every day, we are proud to serve our community under the red, white, and blue.

We are seeing an increased number of calls relating to the discharge of fireworks.

Please remember that fireworks are PROHIBITED within the City.

In addition to being prohibited, fireworks can pose serious safety risks, cause property damage, disturb neighbors, and create significant stress for veterans, pets, and others sensitive to loud noises.

We ask everyone to be considerate of their neighbors and help keep our community safe by refraining from using fireworks within the City limits.
