In
January 2007, the Board of Trustees signed a 2-year
contract with the Village of Richfield to provide
complete police coverage to the residents in the
Township. Dispatching is centrally located within the
Village of Richfield Police Department. Police coverage
in the Township is 3 officers on patrol per shift and,
at times, 4 officers on patrol per shift. Funding for
the contract is by a police levy. The current levy’s
effective rate is 3.5 mills for residential and
agricultural properties and generates approximately
$494,770 each year in revenue.
