EXTRA PATROLS
Clearcreek Township, OH. – Clearcreek Township had extra traffic patrols out during the Holiday season (December 16 through 31). The extra patrols were a part of the Police Division’s effort to make Township roads safer for residents and visitors. Recently, Clearcreek Township was awarded funding from the Ohio Traffic Safety Office to participate in their High Visibility Enforcement Overtime Grant. As a result, Clearcreek officers spent an additional 72 hours enforcing traffic laws while residents participated in their traditional holiday festivities. Clearcreek Township officers were out in force to encourage safe driving during this time. Officers issued 33 additional citations during the period. The next traffic blitz period will occur during Superbowl weekend. However, Clearcreek Township officers will be conducting additional traffic patrols throughout January as part of the grant. Questions about the High Visibility Enforcement Overtime grant or Clearcreek Township’s Traffic Safety goals can be directed to Sgt. Wally Stacy at 937-748-1267.
