Yesterday we celebrated the well‑earned retirement of K9 Bandit, who has served our community with unwavering loyalty, courage, and heart.
For years, K9 Bandit has protected officers, located the missing, kept drugs off our streets, and stood watch when others slept. He has conducted school demonstrations and won the hearts of children, adults and the office staff.

Thank you, K9 Bandit, for every shift, every track, and every moment of dedication.

Enjoy your retirement—filled with long naps, extra treats, and all the love you deserve. You have more than earned it!

SCAM WARNING!!!!!

Recently a Lorain County Resident was scammed out of $9,300.00 when a white male wearing a standard Ohio Sheriff's Uniform, convinced the citizen that they had a warrant for their arrest and instructed them in order to avoid arrest to deposit the cash in "BITCOIN".

Please DO NOT fall for this, as Law enforcement will never contact you by phone that you have an arrest warrant. If you were to get a call of this type, please report it to your local law enforcement agency.

Deputy Rindler was awarded the "Bucket Filler of the Year" award at Resilient Heights this year for completing the most acts of kindness in the completed school year. He was recognized for the positive impact made on students and staff. From his encouraging words in the hallway to helping students through tough moments, these small acts have created a big sense of safety and belonging.

Thank you for showing the students what kindness in action looks like.
Congratulations to Deputy Rindler and students.

Have a fun and safe summer! 🌞
