Our Township Policing services, provided by the Summit County Sheriff’s Office are funded by a 5 mill Policing Levy that was passed as a Replacement and Increase by township voters in November of 2021, expiring December 31, 2026.  This levy provides for 1 – 24/7 Deputy as well as a 40-hour car in the Township.  We are grateful for the cooperative relationship we have built with the Sheriff’s Office over the years. In addition to 24/7 patrol coverage, the Sheriff’s office also provides detectives, fully qualified Bomb Squad, the Lake Patrol, DARE and GREAT officers, Community Policing, Neighborhood Watch educational programs, a Juvenile Diversion program and special event policing.

The nearest watch office is located at behind the Fire Station (inside the old Town Hall building) at 68 Portage Lakes Drive.
