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 is a member of the Portage County Drug Task Force and also works with a Federal Task Force through the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency), which investigates illegal drug activity in Ravenna and throughout the county.

Unfortunately this hits all too close tooo home thanks for keeping the community safe and keeping us reminded and accountable
Mine was gone through Took everything out of counsel tossed it around car. Took 85 cents m, my insurance card, and icebreakers and air freshener All about 5.00 worth. Bet he dont stink for a minute. Lol. Next time he will be laying on ground cause I have hot wire connected to it. Anything topens doors. Gets shocked
Lived here for years no problem, GF thought I was silly for NOT locking my door as never had a problem, but locking them now, didn't steal anything but my glove box this morning was all over my front seat, clearly quickly rummaged through. Oddly enough kept $10 in there for emergencies, and whomever did it, didn't take it, so what the heck was the point?
He got into my car last night. We have him on camera. I hung up some signs. We have named him the crack head car bandit. He is a younger white male with short brown hair, very thin, and a full sleeve of tattoos. We have him on camera and a good shot of his face. Please message me if you're interested in seeing his picture. We have already forwarded it to the police. The community really needs to step up here to catch this guy.
He got my cars few weeks ago. Or someone did.
The one you guys are talking about that lives on Lincoln is only in for 30 days so far.
A thief is a thief. What does being a Coleman patient have to do with it?
I understand that we need to hold ourselves accountable and lock our doors. But when you know who it is and won’t do anything to him.. you’re accountable
Locked and security lights and home security ...thank you for alerts!! Love our Men In Blue 💙💙👮👮👮
Last year when I lived in Ravenna on Fairview all of our cars got broken into because we didn't lock them
Aww mako is adorable!!!
Stereotyping? I have seen business men looking break the law
Wow what a cutie pie
Del sounds like you’re not alone
Samantha Billups time to get the mouse traps back out.

These seeds are being sent out as part of a online scam when you buy goods from a website. The seeds are sent to a valid address in your town. USPS does not list the address on tracking numbers, only the city and state. So as you track your package you ordered you think it’s coming to you. Instead a bag of seeds in sent to someone in your town. When you contact PayPal they say your item was delivered. PayPal requires you to file a police report or get a letter from the post office on their letter head showing the package went to another address. Most people with small orders just take the loss and move on.Meanwhile Communist China is raking in the money. Actually a brilliant scam! The bike I ordered was 20lbs and the package that was sent was 2 oz. It took a few hours to get my money back and both Payoal reps said they are seeing this scam often.
