Summit County Sheriff's Link

Police protection for Coventry Township is provided by the Summit County Sheriff's Department. Deputies and cruisers operate out of an office located next to the Administration Building on Portage Lakes Dr.

In addition to the 24/7 patrols, the Sheriff's office also provides detectives, fully qualified Bomb Squad, the Lake Patrol and DARE and GREAT officers. Community Policing, Neighborhood Watch educational programs, and a Juvenile Diversion program are additional services provided by the Sheriff.

The Township's policing contract currently provides six Deputies, two cruisers, six portable communication radios and two hours a week for a part-time Direct Indictment Officer. The annual cost for these services are as follows:

$511,412.80 in 2006
$532,447.04 in 2007
$554,441.79 in 2008

The Township also pays $10,000.00 from the General Fund toward the Summit County Juvenile Diversion Program. Additional costs are also included in planning for expenses in the Police Levy Fund for fuel increases and fill staffing for vacations and absenses of regularly scheduled Deputies.
