Hubbard council supports proposed joint police force

HUBBARD — City council backs an effort that could create a new joint police force.

Council members unanimously approved a motion tonight to research creation of a joint police force, with Hubbard and Brookfield townships.

The endorsement, which has already been approved by each township’s board of trustees, means the three communities will collectively apply for a grant from the Ohio Department of Development’s Local Government Innovation fund. If approved, the grant will allow the communities to collaborate on a feasibility study of a combined police force.
