As part of our focus on building stronger relationships with our community, the Middletown Police Department is assigning officers to conduct foot patrols within the residential neighborhoods of the city.  As the warmer weather approaches, you should begin to notice uniformed police officers on foot patrol in your ward. Please do not be alarmed! In fact, if you see an officer on patrol, we encourage you to stop them and say hello. Feel free to discuss community issues and other concerns you might have, so that our department can be more effective in addressing your needs.  Chief Ewanciw believes strongly in building community trust, and he created this assignment as a means to provide residents with a means for direct communication with our police officers.  We look forward to meeting you!
