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.
A Message from the Chief
On behalf of the dedicated men and women of the Ravenna Police Department, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the Ravenna Police Department website.
The Ravenna Police Department is committed to providing the highest possible level of police service to our community. The Ravenna Police Department will use every tool at its disposal to prevent crime, disorder and reduce the level of fear in the community. Our mission is to make Ravenna a safe place to live, work and visit.
We, as the Ravenna Police Department, will do so with an unwavering commitment to partner with the community we serve by practicing community policing and problem solving, and treating citizens fairly and with respect. I strongly encourage our residents to reach out to us when you have a question or concern so it can be addressed. There is no greater honor than that of public service and we thank you for the opportunity to serve.
As your Chief of Police, I am honored to serve this community. I grew up in Ravenna, live here and raised my family here. I have a strong personal connection to the City. I am 100% committed to the citizens and the men and women of the Ravenna Police Department to whom I have been entrusted to lead.
Sincerely,

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello or make a donation. Our community thanks you ❤️
It’s National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week! RPD celebrated our amazing team with a “You’re appreciated S’more than you know” theme, complete with a s’mores bar.
“Outsiders to the trade don’t realize how much they matter to cops and firefighters. Even if we don’t thank them enough; we are flawed and self-centered in believing that any part of the job could be successfully completed without the assistance from public safety communicators.”
To our Ravenna Dispatch Team, thank you! To dispatchers around the globe, we salute you all. Not just today, but every day. 🖤💛🖤
I ❤️ Valerie!
Ravenna has some of the Best Dispatchers in the State !!
Copy && Paste This Post Everywhere && Get Others To Do The Same. We Need This To Get Out To The Masses!!! Everyone's been taught that Anarchy means Chaos. Jus like Everyone's also been taught that Truth tellers are Conspiracy Theorists. Anarchy is to Fully Break Free from the Government && The Hold of Power && Control that They have over US && This World. No more of these Presidents which are All nothing more than Corrupt Politicians Ruling over US. In Anarchy everyone would work as a Community to weed out Any && All Horrible ppl for good that pose a constant Threat to All of Us. Not how things are Now in the Injustice System, That either Repeatedly gives them a Slap on the Wrist or Locks them up && Ends up letting them out Early on good behavior so their coming out even Worse than before && Right back at Terrorizing Everyone Again!!!!! Then They Over Charge && Try to make an Example out of ppl who do Petty Things && Ppl who Stand Up an Protect Themselves.There is waaay more of Us that are Good ppl than there are of Them. And there is Way More than Enough Land on this Earth for Everyone to Claim Their Own Lil Slice of Heaven on, So They Wouldn't need Urs. And Money would Not be a thing in Anarchy. Money is the Root of All Evil && It's The Main Thing that Keeps Everyone Divided && It's The Main Reason Majority of Ppl Do Bad Things to Begin With. All our Food && Drinks wouldn't be Poisoned anymore, There would be No more Chem Trails.There would be nothing but Actual Cures. There would be No more Wars. Everything Bad In The World Would Be No More!!!!! #CommunityJustice #HeavenOnEarth #ItsTimeForAnarchy 💯% ✊🙏
Ravenna Police personnel will be at the Ravenna Aldi this Saturday, 9am to 2pm for a food drive to benefit the Ravenna Center of Hope Hunger Food Challenge. Police K-9 and drone demos. Stop by to say hello and help fight hunger in our community. 🥫🍝
Why don't the Ravenna police go up to Walmart and get those begging people at the entrance to go there? They need to stop begging from citizens who are having a hard time taking care of themselves! I feel guilty for not giving to them, but they are way younger than me, there are so many jobs, and many places to get help from Churches, Center of Hope, Salvation Army, and other food banks. I went to Walmart yesterday and saw a police car drive right by them and did nothing!
RPD has an amazing group of 9-1-1 dispatchers 🖤💛🖤
I work for another agency and your dispatchers are always kind and professional when I have had to call them.

Great job
