We understand that the air quality is very poor right now in Trumbull County. We have recieved many calls asking what we are going to do about it.
Unfortunately this is one problem we can not help manage. Please see some of recommendations listed below.

While we understand that ci******es aren't cheap especially the size of the ones you're smoking, trespassing, and stealing to pay for them is still illegal.

If you recognize this gentleman smoking the comically large cigarette, or his side kick who looks to be wearing some type of work shirt, please contact us at 330-530-5472 or email [email protected]

Village Residents,
On Thursday, May 14th, we kicked off a summer safety initiative when Mayor Ray Lewis, Captain Caraway, Officer Pesa, and I visited Roosevelt School to discuss e-bicycle and e-scooter safety with students in kindergarten through sixth grade. We met with the children in smaller groups to encourage questions and covered essential topics such as adhering to road laws, wearing helmets, and being mindful of surroundings. Additionally, we emphasized the importance of proper road etiquette, including coming to a complete stop at stop signs.
Thanks to Mayor Lewis for securing approximately 60 bike helmets through a state program, which will be distributed to children who do not have helmets or whose helmets no longer fit. Children interested in obtaining a helmet were instructed to have their parents contact the school district or police department. Furthermore, our officers will be paying close attention to e-scooter and e-bike riders this summer, enforcing safe riding practices and contacting parents if necessary.
In collaboration with the police department, Village administration and McDonald schools, The Village Creamery has launched a reward program to promote helmet use among children, providing 1,000 free ice cream cone vouchers. Officers will distribute vouchers to children wearing helmets, with each child eligible to receive up to one voucher per day.
McDonald Police Department's goal remains to keep our children safe and happy, and we are committed to achieving this objective

Professionally,
Police Chief Ryan Ronghi

Chief Ronghi and Captain Caraway would like to thank St. Rose Catholic School and School Safety Officer Eleanor Harris for inviting us to be part of their Police Appreciation Day. We enjoyed talking with all the kids and answering a ton of great questions they had about the different gear we use, how we protect people, and what we like about being police officers.
