The deer rut in Northwest Ohio occurs from late October to December, with the peak in November, which leads to an increased risk of accidents. During this time, especially at dawn and dusk, drivers should be extra cautious, slow down, use high beams when possible, and avoid swerving to reduce the chance of collisions.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Waterville United Methodist Church and the entire Waterville community for the tremendous support shown to our first responders during this year’s Fall Festival.

The festival was an overwhelming success, and we are truly grateful for the generosity, participation, and community spirit that made it possible. The support demonstrated for the men and women who serve and protect our community is deeply appreciated and does not go unnoticed.

Thank you to everyone who contributed their time, resources, and efforts to make this event such a success. Your commitment and generosity reflect the strength of our community and the importance of coming together to support those who serve others.

We are honored to be part of such a supportive community and look forward to the next Fall Festival. We sincerely appreciate everyone who helped make this year’s event memorable and successful.

Officer Szaroleta and Officer Schmeltz recently completed active shooter training that was instructed by Lt. Tsolis. This training consisted of classroom instruction and hands-on scenario roleplaying. The classroom portion consisted of important information for the officers to learn and showed them bodyworn camera footage of active shooter incidents that were successful but also ones where mistakes were made.

The City of Waterville Fire Department and City of Waterville Public Works were generous enough to allow us to use their building and also volunteer as actors in the scenarios. Each officer went through a scenario individually that simulated them being the first officer on scene. The second scenario was a two-officer response that simulated teamwork in the different tactics that were learned. Every officer experiences a slightly different scenario because of the different decisions that our roleplay actors made. This type of training is critical because it helps officers deal with a complex and ever-changing incidents.
