Stop what you’re doing and help us wish our friend Ezra a happy 5th birthday! 🎉 Sgt. Snipes and members of our Tact Squad stopped by Ezra’s birthday party after his family requested a special police drive-by. Cpl. Martin also made sure Ezra got some K9 C**t swag. 🐾 Happy Birthday, Ezra!

We are aware of ongoing issues involving groups of unsupervised minors gathering in Uptown and other business areas across Columbus during evening hours.

While many young people are enjoying their summer responsibly, ongoing incidents involving disruptive behavior have negatively impacted local businesses, customers, and families. In several cases, businesses have closed early because of repeated disruptions.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to know where their children are, who they are with, and to avoid dropping them off without supervision. Early intervention and parental involvement remain critical in preventing larger problems before they occur.
