On the Job 

​Three of Ohio’s 88 sheriffs are women – an all-time high.

Officer Kaia Grant of the Springdale Police Department was killed on the job in March 2020. To this day, you can find photos she posted on the social media site Flickr. They serve as a window into the way the budding photographer viewed the world.

On May 6, the officers who lost their lives in the line of duty in 2020 were honored at the Ohio Peace Officers’ Memorial Ceremony.

The Richmond Heights police chief calls his department an idea incubator, but what his team’s new youth outreach programs supply is something far more time-tested: community trust.

Ten years ago, the Montville Police Department took over a small after-school program focused on a single apartment complex in Medina. Today, that program — called the Medina County Police Activities League (MCPAL) — is a county-wide collaboration serving more than 500 students.
