About
the Police Department
|
| The
Sagamore Hills Township Police Department's Community Commitment
is to serve and protect its more than 12,000 residents. |
| The
community is patrolled twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7)
days a week. There are always two (2) to four (4) officers or
Detectives working in the Township. Under the leadership of Chief
David Hayes, thirteen (13) police officers, two (2) Detectives
and eleven (11) dispatchers provide a wide variety of police services.
Assisting the Chief of Police with supervisory duties are a Lieutenant
and 2 Sergeants. |
| In
2010, the Police Department answered 7,180 calls for service.
This is a 13% rise in calls for service from 2008, reaching peak
call volume between 3:00PM and 5:00PM, where they had 1,263 calls
for service. In 2009, the Police Department responded to 6,343
calls for service. Peak volume was between 2:00PM and 5:00PM when
there were 1,115 calls for service. |
| Officers
distributed over 10,000 "Patrolled Your Area Cards."
This highly successful program ensures residents that officers
are patrolling their neighborhoods. The Department made 140 arrests
in 2010. |
| The
Investigations Section currently has 2 investigators that worked
on 208 cases in 2010. Of these cases all but 8 are currently closed
by arrests, restitution, insufficient evidence, non-cooperation
from the victim or referral to another agency. The past year saw
some serious cases successfully investigated by this section.
These cases included Arson, a string of burglaries and numerous
detailed fraud cases. This section also made 4 arrests for a case
involving the closure of over 125 mailbox vandalisms. In 2009,
they worked on 193 cases. |
| The
Communication Section was responsible for dispatching approximately
8,000 police, fire and EMS calls in 2010. We currently have four
(4) full-time Dispatchers and seven (7) part-time Dispatchers.
In 2009 they were responsible for dispatching approximately 7,000
police, fire, and EMS calls. |
| In
May 2006, the Township activated the state-of-the-art 911 Emergency
Response System that was the first of its kind in Summit County.
The system is Phase II compliant, meaning that it recognizes the
caller's phone number including cell phone numbers, and through
a Global Positioning System, pinpoints the location of the phone
being used to make the call. Since portions of the Township are
heavily wooded and miles of the Metro Parks' Bike & Hike Trail
bisect our community, this feature will assist police, fire, and
rescue personnel in pinpointing the exact location of someone
needing assistance, no matter where they may be calling from. |
| Besides
patrol and investigative services, the police department provides
assistance in a number of other areas such as Resident Vacation
Checks, the Police Explorer Program, Juvenile Diversionary Program,
Community Policing and free fingerprinting for residents. For
more information about the Police Department, call 330-468-0900. |
