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.

This is so sad rest in peace. Ready for some bad news I understand the dog had to stretch but why and mean 303 there was plenty of places to pull over side road or what have you to let the dogs stretch out. 303 is a very dangerous road all the main routes are to let a dog out even if it wasn't a canine dog out to stretch. This was an awful accident I hope this serves as a reminder for future law enforcement that have their partner K9 it's with them to pick the proper place to let their dog stretch. Sending prayers to the officer and their family π
Prayers to the driver that accidentally hit the dog. We got to think about this person and how they feel also anybody that was in the vehicle with them this is very traumatizing for this family also
πππ
So sorry to hear pray for the family and officers
So sorry for the loss of a law enforcement and family member. So sorry some people won't let you just mourn the loss. Hope the memories help through the rough times.
I'm very sorry for the loss of of your partner in crime, Kaya. May he rest in peace knowing he had a call to duty and served it well.
Sounds like she was a little messed up there. It's plenty of places where 303 splits off side roads fields that have been plowed they're not all woods
Rest in peace sweet K-9 Kaya. Thank you for your service. Prayers of comfort to all. ππ€
We have our condolences and prayers.οΏΌοΏΌοΏΌ
We are saddened and very sorry this happened.
It's a tragic accident but here it was neglectful on the police officer so what what canine officer lost their life to negligence. It's bad enough he has to live with that everyday
RIP
They are so important to this community, and they are so loved. Prayers for all that this fur baby, hero touched. π
This should be a lesson for all law enforcement all over United States
So very sorry for their loss. I'm sure they are all devastated and mourning right now. I agree with you Mark. πΎπ
I don’t understand why he was so close to a busy roadway for a stretch break. RIP K9 Kaya! Hopefully the person who hit the dog is okay also.
RIP K-9 Kaya. Thank you for your dedicated service and your ultimate sacrifice. πππ
Knowing he was to close to 303 he couldn’t find anywhere else to stop and “stretch”
Love, hugs and prayers to my brothers/sisters in blue. So difficult to lose one of our own.
We hurt his passing we will never forget him
Truly sorry for the loss
This must be the Diane Konzen page….
I repeat nothing was really told much about the story of the streetsboro incident with a driver hitting the dog
Oh no π₯π©΅ππ©΅π₯ I'm so sorry π
So sorry for your loss
This New Years Eve, please remember a few safety tips

Today the Ravenna Police Department hosted our annual Breakfast and Movie with Cops event. Over 100 people gathered to eat together, hear a story from Santa, and watch the βGrinchβ movie. The Grinch grew a heart and passed out pizzas along with Santa as families left the theater. Special thanks to Ravenna Elks who hosted the breakfast as well sponsored the movie at Ravenna 7 Movie Theater. Ravenna PDβs own Ron Fields and Alex Wain were Santa and The Grinch. Happy Holidays from Ravenna PD
