​POLICE DEPARTMENT

CRIME PREVENTION


The Blanchester Police Department is staffed 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, by our full-time and  part-time officers who answer a little over 2,000 calls for service each year. We have a contract with the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office to provide dispatch services to us. The dispatch desk can be contacted at (937)382-1611. The police station phone number is (937)783-4702 ext. 15. However, if you phone the police station, it may take up to 8 hours to receive a return call as our limited budget does not allow for an office staff.  ​We try to operate as efficiently as possible by stretching your tax dollars. This means that we prioritize our work:  reported crime receives first priority, and therefore, if you’re calling about something that is not a crime you may have a wait before you hear from an officer. While this may be inconvenient when you lock your keys in your car (a low priority response), you will find it a very beneficial approach if there is a prowler in your backyard (a high priority response).

The Blanchester Police Department accepts employment application ongoing, attached is a printable copy of their employment application.

We also have an abundance of handout material on the fundamentals of crime prevention that can be obtained from any of our police officers. The department also has a tip line: (937)783-4702, ext. 19.
