DRUG ENFORCEMENT...

Since 1991 the Hubbard Township Police Department has taken an active role in the fight against drugs in our community.  When former Chief C.R. Wells appointed now Chief Todd Coonce to Trumbull County's Drug Task Force, he opened the door for a whole new war against crime in our department's continued quest for a better place to live.  Since that time our police department has remained an active member of the Drug Task Force by keeping officers dedicated to that program.

With the addition of our newly formed K-9 unit, we hope to now be able to target what the department has always considered a big concern of ours and that is the local truck stop.  It is our goal to begin to target the commercial truck traffic that passes through our community on I-80.  We have very strong feelings that a bulk of the area's narcotics are being transported through our community and our local commercial truck traffic.  With the added enforcement of our truck stop and the State of Ohio's Weigh Station on I-80, that is also located in our township, we feel that our department can make a significant dent in the local drug traffic.

The Hubbard Township Police Department also intends to become more active with our school system.  In a community such as Hubbard, where there is a City and a Township police department, we feel that it is our duty to work together, both the City & Township Police Departments to enforce a "ZERO TOLERANCE" of drugs in the Hubbard Schools.
