About the Ravenna Police Department
The Ravenna City Police Department proudly serves the 11,500+ citizens of the City of Ravenna, with a staff of 27 sworn Law Enforcement Officers and 11 Communications Officers. The department is equipped with a state of the art computer aided dispatch system, mobile data terminals, enhanced 911, and other advanced technology to better serve its citizens. Our officers answer over 20,000 calls for service each year ranging from public assists such as vehicle lockouts to more serious criminal offenses such as assaults, burglaries and robberies. In case of more serious tactical incidents, the department belongs to Metro Swat which is a multi-jurisdictional agency that further enhances our response capabilities. The department works with a Federal Task Force through the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency), which investigates illegal drug activity in Ravenna and throughout the county.

As Chief of Police, serving Ravenna is more than just a job – it’s personal. I was born and raised here. I take great pride in leading the dedicated men and women of the Ravenna Police Department, and I am fully committed to supporting them and the citizens we are honored to protect.

Why do people carry 400 in cash
Welp. That’s one way to bring in the new year I guess.

Strange names?
Where's the aggravated assault charge as well....🤔🧐🙄
Wonder if they'll watch the ball drop in jail 😂😂 enjoy the nice long holiday weekend!!!
Who tf goes to Ravenna without a gun and bed bug spray anyway?
Why weren't they charged with assault? Was something more going on? Was anyone aware of what was going on in the apartment previously? Known drug place? Akron connection? 🤔🤔🤔 Hope everyone was safe! Thank you SWAT team and Ravenna PD!
I guess you could say the suspects ended their year with a bang
