Chief of Police John W. Minek Dear Trustees and Citizens of Olmsted Township, I respectfully submit the Olmsted Township Police Department 2014 Annual Report. We strongly believe that each of you have a right to know what type of safety services and activities have occurred within Olmsted Township, and more importantly the resources being devoted in providing an appropriate police response to local problems and concerns. Included in this report, you will find the Olmsted Township Police Department statistics from 2014. We have compared these statistics to the statistics from 2013 in an effort to reflect either an increase or decrease in police activities from the previous year. As Olmsted Township continues to grow, so will our services. I would be remiss, if I did not recognize the personal sacrifices made by every member of the Olmsted Township Police Department to keep this wonderful community safe. In closing, I want to personally thank the Olmsted Township Board of Trustees and this community for having the confidence in my abilities to serve as your Chief of Police. Sincerely, John W.
