Jefferson Police Department

Our department, located at 104 E. Jefferson St in the heart of Ashtabula County is made up of a great group of officers that take pride in law enforcement as well as a full time secretary / dispatcher that makes the office run smoothly efficiently. Jefferson Police Department employs 5 full time officers, 2 thirty two hour a week officers, 1 secretary/ dispatcher, and 16 auxiliary officers. Among these officers are some very highly trained investigators with numerous certifications in crime scene investigation, evidence collection, crime scene photography, and much more. These 2 officers are the backbone of the police department. Also the department boasts a very proactive narcotics division that consists of 4 officers, 2 of which are trained and certified in the deconstruction, neutralization, and transportation of clandestine drug laboratories per D.E.A. and E.P.A. standards. Also within the department is a K9 Unit who is highly trained in narcotics detection, tracking, protection, and criminal apprehension. The K9's handler is also a very skilled officer and a well educated instructor for our department in radar, taser, baton, defensive tactics, building searches, and serves as the departments field training officer. The rest of the officers is what makes up our very proactive patrol division that handles numerous calls throughout a shift treating each one with the utmost importance no matter how big or small of an issue. Among these patrol officers are two highly respected, seasoned, and qualified firearms instructors and one ex swat member. This department is all together a very well rounded group of men and women that dedicate themselves to making Jefferson Village an amazing place to live. These officers go above and beyond to serve and protect and always will. The Police Dept takes pride in the respect we get from the public and the support we constantly have from the community. We are involved in the needy Christmas program, shop with a cop, safety town, and many other community activities. Eventually on this page will be a warrant list, narcotics tip line, and events scheduled to keep the public up on dates for our events in the village such as parades, the fair, safety town etc...
