CONNECTING OUR COMMUNITY - Sharonville, OH
Message from the Mayor
As with many of you, my spring weekends will be spent watching young
people from around our community coming together on soccer and baseball
fields. While the element of competition is always there, the most important
goals for those involved is that these children are learning how to improve
their skills on the field, working together as a team, and modeling good
sportsmanship to their opponents. Sometimes, like last spring when the
U10 girls’ St. Michael’s Mustangs and SYO Stingers met up on the field, those
friendly competitions turn into reunions of children (and their parents) who
have gone to preschool together or swim as teammates with the Sharonville Sharks. It’s during events like these that we can truly
feel and appreciate the interconnectedness of our entire city community.

While the City has a role in facilitating these types of activities, mostly through providing the facilities for these activities to take
place, it is another vital non-profit organization that truly does all the work. The Sharonville Youth Organization (SYO) has been
in existence for more than half-a-century. SYO is a group of dedicated volunteers who arrange the sign up for children in youth
sports, provide the equipment to play, recruit and prepare coaches, seek out sponsors for team uniforms, and a multitude of other
duties. It was indeed a pleasure a short while ago to recognize these volunteers with a “good neighbor award” for their selflessness
and dedication to the youth of Sharonville.

The only way to really make memorable sporting moments is through good people willing to give their time to share these
important values with the children of our City. As is often the case with volunteer groups, it can be difficult to find capable persons
to take on these tasks. I encourage everyone to think and consider how he or she could be a part of making a difference in the
life of a child by volunteering with SYO – whether you currently have a child involved in youth sports, previously had a child in
youth sports, you were once a child in SYO sports, or even just want to help teach children critical life skills. Ultimately, that is
what a youth sport volunteer does – teach children how to be better members of a community, desirable members of the future
workforce, and leaders on and off a sporting field. Won’t you be a part of making that difference in a child’s life right here in
Sharonville?

Given the Nationwide Opioid Crisis, How Often is Narcan Used by our Police and Fire Departments?

The opioid crisis receives quite a bit of attention, but fortunately the Police
and Fire employees have not needed to administer it that often and, on many
occasions, it is being used on the traveling public and not on City of Sharonville
residents. Statistics on usage only tell part of the tale; we are also involved
with assisting individuals after they have overdosed. For those impacted in
Sharonville and others in the region, we are active in Hamilton County’s Heroin
Coalition Quick Response Team. The Quick Response Team is comprised of a
police officer and an addiction counselor who make a follow-up visit to the
overdose patient and offer addiction treatment, services and support. The
Hamilton County QRT sees success 54 percent of the time they are able to get
in touch with a person they’re trying to help.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
Future of the Department Taking Shape
You may have noticed that Sharonville Police Department is
flourishing as of late! Not only is our new building, located at 3639 E
Kemper Rd, scheduled to open this summer, but you may also notice a
few new friendly faces on our department as well. Since June 2019, we
have hired FOUR new officers to our department! These new hires put
our department at its full complement of forty for the first time since
the end of 2017.

We take great pride in properly training our officers to best serve
our community. New officers needing OPOTA (Ohio Police Officer
Training Academy) certification are sent to Ohio State Highway Patrol’s
police academy in Columbus. After obtaining their certification,
new Sharonville Police Officers will then undergo a comprehensive
18-week Field Training here at the Sharonville Police Department.
Those 18 weeks are broken down into subsections/phases in order to
support new officers’ success in each area. The first 3 weeks of Field
Training are spent in the Classroom phase learning Policy/Procedure,
computer operating systems such as RCIC/NCIC and our in-house
database, Defensive Tactics, Handcuffing and Traffic Stops. Afterword
officers undergo a week of Observation time, six weeks of Coaching,
six weeks of Patrol and an additional 2-week Shadow phase.

Our new officers are sent through each phase of training, while
rotating through several Field Training Officers (FTO). FTOs are made
up of our senior patrol. Those currently working with our new officers
are Officers Asbrock, Haynes, Muse and Otte. They have a combined
34+ years of experience in Sharonville alone. Please be sure to
say hello and welcome our newest officers – Zach Jones, Nicholas
Livingston, Mark Mrosek and Ross Siefring!

conjunction with the Princeton City School District. In mid-2019, the City of Sharonville
engaged Kleingers Associates and Murphy Epson Consultants to lead the City of Sharonville
in the preparation of a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Travel Plan for the Princeton City School
District elementary and middle school facilities located within the City of Sharonville. In
order to apply for funding, an Ohio Department of Transportation approved SRTS Plan is a
required pre-requisite to be eligible to apply for Safe Routes to School funding through the
Ohio Department of Transportation. The City assembled a SRTS Team comprised of city staff
representing different departments, Princeton School District officials and the professional
engineering and outreach services of the consultant team to prepare the draft SRTS plan.
