Letter: Cridersville police thankful
I wanted to take a moment and thank the people of Cridersville for their support in passing our 0.5% income tax levy on May 4.
Our community sent a clear message that they want and support the Cridersville Police Department. Given the almost daily anti-police nonsense attempting to divide citizens and law enforcement, it’s outstanding to see not only our community but the adjoining community of Shawnee Township supporting law Eeforcement.
Thank you again Cridersville for backing the blue.

Auglaize County Sheriff’s Office offers new program
S.P.O.T. to help those with special needs
WAPAKONETA The Auglaize County Sheriff’s Office will be offering a new program free to the resident of Auglaize County called S.P.O.T. (Special Population Operations Team). The goal of our new program is to increase the effectiveness of communication and interaction with residents of all ages that may have special considerations in case of an emergency. Such considerations may include: Alzheimer’s, dementia, schizophrenia, PTSD, autism, ADHD, developmental disability, down syndrome, blindness, deafness, language barriers or differently-abled.
The initial sign-up step would be to contact our office to register your family member. A S.P.O.T. coordinator would provide you with a registration form and questionnaire. Once the information is completed, the information will be transferred into our dispatch system. This would allow for instant access to law enforcement and first responder
