LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) - Concerns were voiced Monday night at Lima City Council's safety services meeting regarding proper conduct for home arrests and follow-up procedures by Lima Police.
Chief of Lima Police Curtis Hile represented the Lima Police Department as committee members addressed concerns about proper conduct and follow up procedures. Some Lima residents say they feel targeted after dark, and procedures are carried out improperly. 3rd ward city councilman Jesse Lowe had questions about the alleged behavior of some police officers.
"We have a fine police department, and we need to make sure that we can stand behind them, but help them grow, and then work with us together to try and improve relations with the community," says Todd Gordon, 1st Ward, Lima City councilman.
"I didn't look at it as a confrontation, I looked at it as an opportunity for us to discuss some concerns that people are having in the community. Sometimes, we're not aware of things unless people bring them to our attention. And being able to inform the residents of they do have a concern with the police, they can follow up with that grievance with the police department," says Curtis Hile, Chief of Police for the Lima Police Department.
The Chief said to learn more about the Lima Police Department, or to voice a comment, check out their website.Â
