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.”

A two-vehicle crash involving a white pickup truck and a black Jeep occurred Thursday afternoon at the intersection of High Street and Woodlawn Avenue on Lima’s west side, with no immediate report on injuries or a completed police report.
