Building connections, one conversation (and one belly rub) at a time!

Officer Morgan and Officer Blue were invited to spend the afternoon with the wonderful community at Empowered Community Services, and they had the BEST time!

The goal was simple: create an opportunity for individuals to meet and interact with a police officer in a relaxed, comfortable, non-stressful environment—and ask all the questions they wanted!

They talked, laughed, answered questions, and hopefully helped make a police officer feel a little less intimidating and a lot more approachable. Because sometimes, building trust starts with simply sitting down and having a conversation.

And Officer Blue? Well… he had a very important job to do.

Endless. Supply. Of. Pets.
And somehow, he managed to survive the assignment.

A huge thank you to Empowered for inviting us and creating a space where community members can connect, learn, and feel comfortable with the people who serve them.

We’ll always be happy to show up—with open ears, open arms, and a very pettable police dog.

🧊 Meet Our First Nice Ice Award Winner!

Emma-Kate is officially our first-ever Nice Ice Award winner!

Emma-Kate was nominated by someone in her school because she consistently stands out for her kindness, encouragement, and willingness to help others. In fact, she’s even been known to stop what she’s doing to patiently teach other students something as simple—but important—as how to tie their shoes.

Those little moments of kindness are exactly what the Nice Ice Award is all about: recognizing kids who make a difference in the lives of others simply by being kind, helpful, and encouraging.

We’ve received quite a few nominations from parents who nominated their own children, and we absolutely love seeing how proud you are of your kids! We’re going to put those nominations together for a drawing as well.

That said, we’re especially looking for nominations from people outside a child’s immediate family—teachers, classmates, coaches, neighbors, community members, or anyone who has witnessed a child going above and beyond to make someone else’s day a little better.

So keep those nominations coming! We want to celebrate the kids in our community who are spreading kindness when they think nobody is watching.

Congratulations, Emma-Kate! You’ve set the bar pretty high for our first Nice Ice Award!

Thank you to the support from Heather’s Gourmet Caramel Apples for providing the Nice Ice Nee Doh

Happy National Dog Day from everyone’s favorite police pup, Officer Blue!

The weather is beautiful, so it’s a perfect day to grab your best four-legged friend and enjoy some time outside!

Officer Blue does have one important reminder: When you’re in City parks, your pup must be on a leash—even if they’re the BESTEST good boy or girl!

It’s not just good manners—it’s the law. (Springboro Ordinance 618.01)

So leash up, get outside, and enjoy National Dog Day with your furry family members!

Happy National Dog Day!
— Officer Blue

Friday Night Football is back!

Heading to the first Springboro High School football game of the season tonight? Arrive early and kick off the school year with the Back to School Bash!

While you're there, be sure to stop by and say hello to your School Resource Officers, Officer Huelsman and Officer Overholtz! They’ll be out with plenty of goodies, smiles, and ready to meet students, families, and football fans.

We can’t wait to see everyone, cheer on the Panthers, and start the season off right!

Go Panthers! And remember—school safety is a team effort!

We promise… no officers were emotionally traumatized during the making of this video.

Okay, maybe just a little.

We know life happens. You get distracted, you’re in a hurry, or you think, “I’ll only be gone for a minute.” And unfortunately, sometimes that’s all the opportunity a thief needs.

So consider this your friendly reminder from your slightly dramatic police department:

🔒 Lock the car.
🎒 Take your valuables.
🌙 Do your .

Because we’d much rather see you laughing at this video than calling us to report a break-in and having to deal with the aftermath of feeling traumatized, canceling cards, getting new everything….

Lock it. Take it. Light it. Every night at 9.

If you are missing a good old fashioned regular bicycle, please call our department to see if we have it. (937) 748-0611

We currently have three in our property room and our Property Clerk Andrea would love to get them back to their owners.

The most recent was found on W. Factory Road. Obviously, the photo is not of the actual bicycle.

(This is also an opportunity to remind you that we are now offering a free bicycle registration program so we know who to contact if your bicycle gets turned in)

We’re proud to recognize our Property Room Clerk, Andrea Mosley, for being selected to participate in the newly formed "Property Room Manual Sub-Committee" through the Ohio Department of Public Safety’s Office of Criminal Justice Services (OCJS).

So, what exactly does that mean?

Property rooms play an important role in law enforcement. From evidence and found property to items held during investigations, proper handling, documentation, security, and accountability are essential.

Andrea was selected to bring her experience and knowledge to a statewide effort to develop a **Property Room Manual** that will establish consistent guidelines and best practices for law enforcement agencies across Ohio.

This is an exciting opportunity not only for Andrea but also for our department to have a voice in shaping standards that can benefit agencies throughout the state.

We’re incredibly proud to see one of our own contributing to this important work. Andrea’s selection is a testament to her professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to doing things the right way—every single day.

**Congratulations, Andrea!**
We are proud to have you representing the Springboro Police Department and helping make a difference beyond our own walls.

E-bikes have quickly become a favorite way for kids and teens to get around, but not every E-bike is created equal. Understanding the difference between an E-bike and an eMoto, knowing the bike's class and speed, and making sure your child is riding something that is street legal are important parts of keeping them safe.

Parents, before your child heads out on two wheels, take a few minutes to know what they’re riding and know the rules.

One important reminder: Just because an electric bike is sold in a store or online doesn't necessarily mean it is legal to ride on public streets.

A few minutes of checking now can prevent a much bigger problem later — and, more importantly, can help keep your child safe.
