Medina Township Police Department

In Medina Township, Ohio, the township police department set a goal in its 2024 year-end report of keeping two officers on duty at all times, with a roster made up of a chief, a lieutenant, a pair of sergeants, one detective and eight patrol officers. Calls reach officers through the Medina Police dispatch center, which the city provides to the township under contract. In 2024 the department's detective recovered nearly $90,000 in a fraud case that ended with an out-of-state arrest, and the agency began placing license plate readers in high-traffic areas. A sergeant serves on the multi-agency Medina County SWAT team, activated seven times that year. Partnering with the DEA and the county drug task force, the department destroyed 874 pounds of unused medication turned in during 2024. Grants that year totaled $44,667.72 and paid for new body armor, office and in-car computers, and hearing protection. The Medina County Safe Communities Coalition honored two township officers for OVI and traffic safety enforcement. The department holds Ohio Collaborative certifications that include use of force, body-worn cameras, bias-free policing, vehicle pursuits, positive youth interactions and crisis intervention.
