Clearcreek Township Police Continue Work to Make Streets Safer Clearcreek Township, OH. – Clearcreek Township had extra traffic patrols out during the month of February. The extra patrols were a part of the Police Division’s effort to make Township roads safer for residents and visitors. Funding for the extra patrols is coming from the Ohio Traffic Safety Office as part of Clearcreek Township’s participation in their High Visibility Enforcement Overtime (HVEO) Grant. During February HVEO patrols resulted in seventeen (17) additional citations being issued. “Most of the additional citations were for speed and seat belt violations.” said Sgt. Wally Stacy, Clearcreek Township’s HVEO grant coordinator. “One of the violators was a repeat seatbelt violation, receiving his second under this grant program. Speed and failing to buckle up are two main factors in traffic crashes in the township” The goal of the HVEO grant program is to make Ohio’s roadways safer by increasing enforcement of Ohio’s traffic laws. Clearcreek Township will again have extra patrols out during the month of March, especially during the St. Patrick’s Day weekend. 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.
