Colerain Police

🚓🚨 The Colerain Township Police Department is committed to improving roadway and community safety - and now the state is helping with some extra funding.

Two grants totaling $38,208.38 have been awarded (IDEP grant for $18,354.19 and a $19,854.19 STEP grant) to support enhanced traffic enforcement and initiatives aimed at reducing impaired driving and preventing serious crashes.

🎉This is the THIRD consecutive year the department has received both grants from the Ohio Department of Public Safety’s Ohio Traffic Safety Office (OTSO).

Today, we proudly celebrate the 79th Birthday of the United States Air Force!

We wanted to take a moment to share our appreciation to the officers within the Colerain Police Department who have served our country in the Air Force. Your dedication, commitment, and leadership in our community are deeply valued.

Thank you to all Air Force veterans and active-duty service members today and every day for protecting our country. Aim High!

🐾 Who let the dogs out? We definitely did - that was us.

Last week, Houston Early Learning Center hosted the Colerain Township Police Department's K9 Unit to help teach students about the roles of dogs in law enforcement - and because they're such handsome doggos!

All five of our K9s have been donated thanks to the generosity of The Matt Haverkamp Foundation. Students got to meet K9 Chuck, K9 Tiko, and K9 Ghost - who was also the 100th dog donated by The Haverkamp Foundation! Thank you so much for having us out and helping us build positive relationships with some of our youngest residents!
