Harrison Police Department

Harrison's Police Department in Ohio keeps the peace within city limits around the clock, answering calls, preventing and investigating crime, arresting suspects, investigating traffic crashes and handling animal services, along with crime analysis and records and evidence management. The Uniform Patrol Section, part of the Operations Division, runs three shifts, each under a sergeant, plus a fourth late-morning-to-evening shift that adds coverage during the busiest call hours; patrol officers take reports, conduct preliminary investigations, keep order, enforce criminal and traffic law and work on community problems. A bicycle unit is sent to targeted areas, such as streets hit by a run of vehicle break-ins, where bikes offer visibility by day and a quiet approach at night. The Criminal Investigation Section follows reported crimes ranging from thefts and burglaries to robberies and homicides. Harrison uses Flock automated license plate reader cameras and publishes a transparency portal explaining how long data is kept, how searches and hotlist alerts work and which agencies receive shared data.
