Summary
As Police Officer for the City of Put-In-Bay, I am currently serving as a seasonal employee for 2024, working an average of 36 hours per week, mostly on weekends patrolling the Village area of the island. The village contains numerous bars, restaurants, and shopping for the local residents as well as for the vacationers. In addition to patrolling, I occasionally handle phone calls made to the Police Department and serve as a dispatcher as needed. While on the island, I have been on complete call as needed to handle incidents. During my time here, I have worked alongside Ottawa County Sheriffs, the U.S. Coast Guard, Ohio Department of Natural Resources, and the Ohio Investigative Unit.
