COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAMS SCHOOL PROGRAMS Community Service Officers participate in county school classes in seat belt safety, gun safety, bicycle safety and other informational sessions. The State of Ohio offers a Seat Belt Program specifically designed for third graders. This program is presented to selected school districts. This program is designed so children will not only learn to wear their seat belts, but they also learn it's safer to ride in the back seat until they are teenagers, because of the dangers involving airbags. Community Services performs a number of tasks, which provide direct support to the Enforcement Division, Detective Bureau, Corrections and the Combined Dispatch Center. We believe in and use the Community Policing Philosophy of collaborative efforts between various individuals, groups, organizations and the Sheriff;s office to solve community problems. Other duties include following up reports for the Patrol Officers and the Detective Units that may need to be completed. By assisting with the investigations and other complaints, the Community Service Officers within the Department, a team approach to problem solving helps to prevent future problems involving criminal activity. A resident or new business may be contacted about safety issues that the officers or dispatchers feel should be addressed. This gives the owner of the residence or the business personal contact with an officer and a chance to discuss other issues they may have, but didn't think were police related.
