Message from the Mayor As with many of you, my spring weekends will be spent watching young people from around our community coming together on soccer and baseball fields. While the element of competition is always there, the most important goals for those involved is that these children are learning how to improve their skills on the field, working together as a team, and modeling good sportsmanship to their opponents. Sometimes, like last spring when the U10 girls’ St. Michael’s Mustangs and SYO Stingers met up on the field, those friendly competitions turn into reunions of children (and their parents) who have gone to preschool together or swim as teammates with the Sharonville Sharks. It’s during events like these that we can truly feel and appreciate the interconnectedness of our entire city community. While the City has a role in facilitating these types of activities, mostly through providing the facilities for these activities to take place, it is another vital non-profit organization that truly does all the work. The Sharonville Youth Organization (SYO) has been in existence for more than half-a-century. SYO is a group of dedicated volunteers who arrange the sign up for children in youth sports, provide the equipment to play, recruit and prepare coaches, seek out sponsors for team uniforms, and a multitude of other duties. It was indeed a pleasure a short while ago to recognize these volunteers with a “good neighbor award” for their selflessness and dedication to the youth of Sharonville. The only way to really make memorable sporting moments is through good people willing to give their time to share these important values with the children of our City. As is often the case with volunteer groups, it can be difficult to find capable persons to take on these tasks. I encourage everyone to think and consider how he or she could be a part of making a difference in the life of a child by volunteering with SYO – whether you currently have a child involved in youth sports, previously had a child in youth sports, you were once a child in SYO sports, or even just want to help teach children critical life skills. Ultimately, that is what a youth sport volunteer does – teach children how to be better members of a community, desirable members of the future workforce, and leaders on and off a sporting field. Won’t you be a part of making that difference in a child’s life right here in Sharonville? Kevin M. Hardman Given the Nationwide Opioid Crisis, How Often is Narcan Used by our Police and Fire Departments? The opioid crisis receives quite a bit of attention, but fortunately the Police and Fire employees have not needed to administer it that often and, on many occasions, it is being used on the traveling public and not on City of Sharonville residents. Statistics on usage only tell part of the tale; we are also involved with assisting individuals after they have overdosed. For those impacted in Sharonville and others in the region, we are active in Hamilton County’s Heroin Coalition Quick Response Team. The Quick Response Team is comprised of a police officer and an addiction counselor who make a follow-up visit to the overdose patient and offer addiction treatment, services and support. The Hamilton County QRT sees success 54 percent of the time they are able to get in touch with a person they’re trying to help. Fire Department Police Department 2017 62 doses to 42 patients with 33 transports to the hospital 34 doses to 27 patients 2018 23 doses to 17 patients with 14 transports to the hospital 27 doses to 21 patients 2019 37 doses to 22 patients with 20 transports to the hospital 24 doses to 22 patients Total 122 doses to 81 patients with 67 transports to the hospital 85 doses to 70 patients Although the opioid crisis is impacting all layers of society, as the numbers above show, the impact to the Police and Fire services to our community has been significantly less than many others in our area have experienced.

POLICE DEPARTMENT Future of the Department Taking Shape You may have noticed that Sharonville Police Department is flourishing as of late! Not only is our new building, located at 3639 E Kemper Rd, scheduled to open this summer, but you may also notice a few new friendly faces on our department as well. Since June 2019, we have hired FOUR new officers to our department! These new hires put our department at its full complement of forty for the first time since the end of 2017. We take great pride in properly training our officers to best serve our community. New officers needing OPOTA (Ohio Police Officer Training Academy) certification are sent to Ohio State Highway Patrol’s police academy in Columbus. After obtaining their certification, new Sharonville Police Officers will then undergo a comprehensive 18-week Field Training here at the Sharonville Police Department. Those 18 weeks are broken down into subsections/phases in order to support new officers’ success in each area. The first 3 weeks of Field Training are spent in the Classroom phase learning Policy/Procedure, computer operating systems such as RCIC/NCIC and our in-house database, Defensive Tactics, Handcuffing and Traffic Stops. Afterword officers undergo a week of Observation time, six weeks of Coaching, six weeks of Patrol and an additional 2-week Shadow phase. Our new officers are sent through each phase of training, while rotating through several Field Training Officers (FTO). FTOs are made up of our senior patrol. Those currently working with our new officers are Officers Asbrock, Haynes, Muse and Otte. They have a combined 34+ years of experience in Sharonville alone. Please be sure to say hello and welcome our newest officers – Zach Jones, Nicholas Livingston, Mark Mrosek and Ross Siefring!
