Lisbon detective to head task force
LISBON — Detective Dan Downard of the Lisbon Police Department will be the new director of the Columbiana County Drug Task Force.
He was the most senior officer on the task force who wanted the position, Columbiana County Sheriff David Smith said Tuesday.
The unit has eight members. Downard has been with the Lisbon police and the task force since 2001. A board that oversees the task force picked Downard.
The move follows personnel shifts in the sheriff’s office, including the former deputy who ran the task force.
