Police Safety Protocols
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Sheffield Village Police Department has implemented the following safety protocols:
- Absolutely no visitors inside the Police Department. The only exception will be Law Enforcement Officers here on Official Business.
- N95 masks and gloves have been provided to every police officer. Officers will wear masks and gloves if entering someone's house. Persons requesting police services to their residence are asked to meet officers outside whenever possible. Officers will maintain a distance of 6 feet from individuals whenever possible.
- Rather than having an officer respond to your residence for a non-emergency, we have implemented online Incident report forms. The forms are fillable and are available on the Police website at SheffieldVillage.com.
- Click here to access the Citizen Incident Report
- Click the Citizen Incident Report and save it, or contact dispatch at (440) 949-6155 and they will email the form to you.
- Fill out the form and email it to police@sheffieldvillage.com
- Be assured that we will respond if necessary, however, if we can gather information over the phone or by using the online complaint/incident form, that would be preferable.
- We have suspended building tours and ride alongs until further notice.
- Cruisers will be cleaned periodically throughout each shift. Transporting individuals other than prisoners will be on an emergency basis only and will be at the discretion of the Officer in Charge.
During these trying times, the men and women of the Sheffield Village Police Department will continue to provide professional services and expedient response, when necessary, to our residents, businesses, and those that pass through our community.
