WOOD COUNTY, Ohio — Helping people schedule a COVID-19 vaccine appointment is not normally something law enforcement does, but that's not the case in Lake Township.
Officer Ron Craig, the department's community policing officer, is glad to lend a helping hand.
According to Craig, the township's senior residents weren't having much luck booking their appointment. He acknowledged many of them don't have access to computers, an email address, or know how to properly use the internet.
About a week and a half ago, he created a spreadsheet and started taking down the residents' name, address, date of birth and age. He makes multiple calls and checks websites up to five times a day to schedule their appointment for them.
