Lima Police reintroduce COP Program to strengthen community ties

Mayor Sharetta Smith said the program is about more than having officers stationed in one location.

“Community Oriented Policing for the Lima Police Department is more than just a substation at a particular location. It is a philosophy and a way that we do police work, and having these substations in the neighborhood is a visual of that we work in partnership with our residents, business owners, and all of our stakeholders in our community to keep us all safe.”
