The Plain City Police Department provides 24-hour police protection to all residents of Plain City. We strive to meet the needs of the community by offering several specialized programs and services. We have a fully trained and state certified K-9 program. Andor and his handler, Officer Josh Hirtzinger, specialize in narcotics detection, tracking, and article/area searches. Prather is a member of the county-wide Patient Lifesaver Program (PLS), which is designed to provide an extra layer of protection and safety for alzheimer and dimentia patients. The police department performs thousands of property checks each year for residents on vacation or those who have been affected by suspicious activity or civil disturbances. We also conduct community training on a variety of topics throughout the year. We also provide specialized or concentrated traffic patrols in areas where there are potential problems. We use technology to assist us in this, by utilizing a large LED display radar trailer and more covert tool called Stealth Stat. The Stealth Stat is mounted in an area affected by speeding motorists and helps us identify times of the day, actual speeds, and the volume of cars, so that we may then deploy marked patrol cars for traffic enforcement. The Police Department believes wholly in the value of community policing and utilizes bike patrol and foot patrol to bring officers closer to the residents.

🚓 Cops & Cars raises $4,880.81 for Jonathan Alder student-athletes! 🏃‍♂️

The Plain City Police Department was proud to present a check to the Jonathan Alder Athletic Boosters this week, representing proceeds from September's inaugural Cops & Cars vintage car show in Uptown Plain City.

✅ Committed to training and our community!

On Tuesday, Plain City Police Training Officer Gary Sigrist led an eight-hour Fundamentals of De-escalation training at the Plain City Municipal Building, bringing together law enforcement and support personnel to strengthen skills that help keep our communities safe.

👮 The training covered practical techniques such as effective communication, conflict management, body language, recognizing mental health and disability-related concerns, and adjusting responses to different situations. Participants also worked through real-world examples and interactive scenarios focused on maintaining professionalism, respect, and self-control during challenging interactions.

Ongoing training and professional development are an important part of the Plain City Police Department's mission. Investing in these skills helps equip our officers to navigate difficult situations, reduce escalation, and better serve our community.

👏 Thank you to Training Officer Sigrist for leading this important training and to everyone who attended and contributed to a productive day of learning and collaboration!

🚔 Welcome to the team, Officer Rudolph!

The Plain City Police Department is excited to introduce its newest team member, Jerry “Trey” Rudolph, who was officially sworn in by Mayor Jody Carney during Monday evening’s Village Council meeting.

👮 A Jonathan Alder High School graduate, Officer Rudolph has deep roots in the Plain City community. Law enforcement runs in the family, with both his father and grandfather having served as Columbus Police officers. After spending several years in Wyoming, Trey and his family made the move back to Ohio. He has served with the Delaware County Sheriff's Office since 2024 and, in 2025, he and his family made Plain City their home.

Now, Trey is excited to serve the community where he grew up and give back to the place that has always been special to him. We're thrilled to welcome Officer Rudolph to our growing department and look forward to having him serve alongside our team.

Please join us in giving Officer Rudolph a warm Plain City welcome! 👏

🏃‍♂️ Congrats to everyone who finished the Plain City Impact 5K Sunday morning! And a special shoutout to our very own Officer Skyler Roberts, who completed the entire 5K in full police gear alongside his daughter. Way to go, Officer Roberts!

Nearly 150 runners took on the inaugural race, starting and finishing at Pastime Park with a scenic route through Uptown Plain City. All proceeds benefited the Plain City Police Department, Pleasant Valley Fire Department, and Jonathan Alder Athletic Boosters.

👏 We’re grateful to be part of a community that shows up to support its first responders and local student athletes. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this inaugural event a success!

ANURADHA MANUKONDA pleaded guilty to Gross Abuse of a Co**se in the Madison County Common Pleas Court in August of 2026, over three years after her infant daughter was found deceased in the back of a garbage truck on Bluestem Lane on June 16, 2023.

Our community was saddened, shocked, and devastated at the discovery. She was named Madison Baby Doe and a funeral service, attended by over 100 people, was held soon after to memorialize and honor this precious baby girl.

An extensive and exhaustive investigation ensued, focused on identifying the mother and determining the facts that ultimately led to the infant's death and her being thrown into the garbage like other household trash. Highlighted by forensics and high-tech DNA collection and analysis, tireless and relentless investigations, and a little bit of luck, police were able to hone in on a home located on Bluestem Lane, eventually positively identifying the biological mother of Madison Baby Doe as ANURADHA MANUKONDA, who occasionally visited family there.

On November 6th, MANUKONDA was finally sentenced for the only crime that could be proven, Gross Abuse of a Co**se, a felony of the 5th degree. With no presumption of a prison term, she was sentenced to 5 years of community control and 90 days incarceration at the Tri-County Regional Jail.

With the final chapter written, our community now has a degree of closure. Two dates on the calendar, separated by 1240 days, shows our unwavering commitment to Madison Baby Doe and our community. We will always remember that horrific day in the summer of 2023 and we will NEVER forget Madison Baby Doe.
