Police Programs

The police department is committed to working with the community to prevent crime and ensure the safety of our neighborhoods.

Our community outreach programs include neighborhood watch groups, crime prevention seminars, and safety presentations for schools and community organizations.

In addition, we conduct regular patrols and targeted enforcement operations in high-crime areas to deter criminal activity and apprehend offenders. We also work closely with local businesses to implement security measures that can help prevent crime.

But crime prevention is not just about law enforcement. We need your help to be effective. By being vigilant, reporting suspicious activity, and taking steps to protect yourself and your property, you can play an active role in preventing crime in our community.

Each year, the Pierce Township Police Department proudly hosts Casting with Cops, a community-focused event designed to bring local children and police officers together in a relaxed, positive environment.  During this special day, children from our community are invited to join our officers at a local fishing lake for a fun-filled outing. Participants spend time fishing, enjoying the outdoors, and, most importantly, building meaningful connections with the officers who serve their community.

The goal of Casting with Cops is to foster trust, break down barriers, and create lasting memories through simple, shared experiences. By interacting in an informal setting, children have the opportunity to see our officers not just as law enforcement, but as approachable mentors and community partners.

The purpose of the Shop with the Police program is to foster positive relationships between youth and officers. Young kids, K – 6th grade are selected each year during the end-of-the-year holiday season to shop at our local Walmart and purchase gifts for themselves and members of their immediate family. The participating children are identified by our local schools, churches, and/or social service agencies. Each child is given money to spend on their immediate family and on themselves. Each child is paired with a police officer, who then escorts them around the store and assists in selecting appropriate gifts for each family member. After shopping, the children will eat lunch, wrap their gifts, and continue to get to know the police officers.

The positive relationships built between the officer and the children are priceless. The community engagement and amenity foster only serves to make the community as a whole stronger in the long run.

This program is made possible through donations from local business partners and by our officers who have funds deducted from every paycheck to ensure this outstanding program is financed.

The Pierce Township Police Department has started what we are calling the “Golden Ticket” program in an effort to recognize community members who are caught doing good things. When one of our officers see someone doing something good they will issue them a Golden Ticket thanking the person for their efforts and giving them a Wal-Mart gift card as a ‘reward’.

So remember the next time an officer makes contact with you it could be to give you a Golden Ticket.

Special thanks to Wal-Mart and Cincinnati Print Solutions for their help with the program.
