ADMINISTRATION
The Northwood Police Department, under the direction of Chief
Thomas S. Cairl, has continued to be progressive in its approach to
providing quality police services that our citizens come to expect and
deserve.
In 2009 our calls for service were up by 4.17%, traffic crashes were
down 9.28%, major crimes were down 9.65%, and automated
enforcement civil notices were down by 36.35%, when compared to
2008 data. There were many variables that attributed to these
decreases. Some of these variables that were proactive included
innovative solutions to reducing vehicle speed, crime prevention, and
selective patrol in areas of high crime.
Chief Thomas S. Cairl
Major accomplishments included the first ever Safety City Program which was held at the Olney
Elementary School for those children who were about to enter kindergarten. Eighteen children
attended the program which instructs children on many safety and health related topics such as
school bus, pedestrian, water, fire, traffic and railroad safety along with how to use 9-1-1. The
children had a great time and we look forward to the 2010 Safety City Program.
The Northwood Police Department received a Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.)
Program Grant from the Ohio Attorney General for Sergeant Douglas Hubaker to teach the
D.A.R.E. curriculum in the first, fifth and seventh grades. In addition, an Ohio Third Grade
Safety Belt Program Grant from the Ohio Department of Public Safety was received as well as a
Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice which covered half of
cost to acquire ballistic vests for three patrol officers. We continue to participate in a regional
grant with the Lucas County OVI (Operating a Vehicle Impaired) Task Force that funded one
OVI Checkpoint on Woodville Road in 2009 and several hours of overtime each month to
actively patrol our City for persons operating vehicles under the influence.
Without the dedication and hard work of the employees of the Northwood Police Department,
the City Administrator Patricia Bacon, Mayor Mark Stoner and most of all, City Council that
authorized the funds, we would not have been able to make all these changes and meet all these
challenges. We are very pleased with the end result and look forward to the challenges that we
face in the future.
Access to our police reports on the internet can be
accomplished by going directly to the www.policereports.us
web page or through the Northwood Police Department's page on the City website at
www.northwoodpolice.com. This service has been well received by insurance companies, the
media and, most importantly, the community that we serve.

PERSONNEL
The Northwood Police Department has experienced a challenging year due to the Recession,
which has led to the first ever lay-off’s of police department personnel. An officer was laid-off
on November 6, 2009 with a second officer scheduled to be laid-off. However, City Council
utilized Photo Enforcement Revenue to retain the second officer until December 2010. Also,
further cost cutting measures were necessary to balance the police department’s budget so a
vacant dispatcher position was not filled and the position has since been eliminated. Our Animal
Control Officer who normally worked 12 hours per week, is now on-call; the Traffic Camera
Operator position was abolished and our police K-9 was retired.

TRAINING
The Northwood Police Department employees are well trained to
provide exceptional police services to the community. Proper training
provides for greater productivity, effectiveness and unity of purpose.
Proper training also enhances our ability to act decisively and
correctly in our duties and responsibilities.
Our employees received 2,397 hours of training in 2009. We try to
have officers trained as instructors in specialized areas so they can
certify our officers. We also use compact disk and on-line training
media that the employees review, and test in some, at their own pace
Captain Trent D. Schroeder signing off when completed. This saves us time and travel expenses.
New officers are required to be certified as a Peace Officer in the State of Ohio prior to hire.
Through the use of in-house instructors we train new recruits in firearms, self-defense
(specialized to the weapons we carry), report writing, and many other aspects for a minimum of
two weeks before the officer goes on patrol.
The next stage is our Field Training Program designed to last ten to fourteen weeks depending
on the officer's skills and abilities. The new officer is with a Field Training Officer (FTO) this
entire time while performance and knowledge is evaluated daily. At the end of each week a
summary of strengths and weaknesses are documented and signed-off on by the new officer, the
FTO, the supervisor-in-charge of the Field Training Program and the Chief of Police.
The training highlights in 2009 included training in: Traffic Crash Investigation Level 1; Traffic
Crash Investigation Level 2; Self-Defense Refresher; Firearms Active Training System (FATS);
Annual Firearms Qualification; X26 Taser Refresher; Legal Updates Seminar; and, In-Service
Training on Amber Alerts.

The City of Northwood Police
Department ended the year with
fifteen vehicles: five for uniform
patrol; one for Community
Relations; one for K-9 patrol;
one multi-purpose cargo van, one
for Animal Control; and, six
unmarked for investigations and
administration. We also have
two Raleigh Special Police
Edition bicycles.
The miles traveled in 2009 by our department were basically the same as 2008 due to our efforts
to conserve gasoline consumption. Other ways implemented to conserve gasoline were having
officers double-up if staffing permits, cutting engine idle time to a minimum, and continuing
with bike patrol when weather and staffing permits.

COMMUNICATIONS CENTER
The Northwood Police Department's Communications Center staff
consists of Dispatcher Supervisor Amy Stribrny and five other full-time
dispatchers. It operates the Records Bureau, data entry, emergency and
non-emergency phone calls, and dispatching of police services, fire
services, emergency medical services and public services.
There were a total of 9,311 calls processed and dispatched by the
Communications Center in 2009. Many of these calls were for crime and
traffic crash related events, and required incident reports which are
detailed later in this report.
The Communications Center also has the responsibility of overseeing the management of
warrants. In 2009 there were 425 arrest warrants entered into LEADS (Law Enforcement
Automated Data System), NORIS (Northwest Ohio Regional Information System), and our
internal records management program.

We completed 308 background record checks for various entities and individuals, and we entered
51 house checks into the computerized records management system.
Many of the department's calls are service in nature and some are listed in the following table:

Crime Prevention / Community Relations
Community Relations Officer is a specialized position involved in many
community-policing type activities that involve the prevention of crime
within the City of Northwood community. The department as a whole
assists in some of these activities such as giving tours of the police
department, fingerprint children, giving crime prevention presentations in
our local schools, churches and local community groups, and assists with
Northwood's Veterans Appreciation Day.
Sergeant Doug Hubaker is the Community Relations Officer for the
Northwood Police Department. He is a certified D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse
Resistance Education) Officer and a member of the D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education)
Officers Association of Ohio, and the Ohio School Resource Officer Association.
At Lark Elementary School, a D.A.R.E. core
curriculum is taught in three classes daily for four
consecutive weeks to first grade students. And, at
Northwood Middle School a D.A.R.E. core
curriculum is taught one day a week the entire
school year (thirty lessons) to fifth grade students.
In addition, one day a week the seventh graders are
taught a D.A.R.E. curriculum for the purpose of
building on what the students learned in the fifth
grade program. Emphasis is placed on drug and
violence resistance techniques.
Sergeant Hubaker also assists other local D.A.R.E. Officers in getting the message out at local
fairs and other events. We receive grant money from the Ohio Attorney General’s Office each
year to assist with the costs of the program. A portion of the fine money from Operating a
Vehicle Impaired (OVI) is the revenue source for the grants.
Other crime prevention/community relations events included:
•
Conducting Safety Drills at Northwood Local Schools.
•
Guest Speaker for an Ice Cream Social at Northwood Baptist Church.
•
Guest Speaker at the Seniors' Program monthly meeting.
•
Attended Prevention Partners Coalition monthly meetings.
•
Participated in WTOL News 11’s Give Autism the Boot.
•
Attended D.A.R.E. Day at a Toledo Mud Hens game in Fifth Third Field.
•
Participated in D.A.R.E. Day at Lucas County and Wood County Fairs.
•

10
Through a grant provided by the Ohio Department of Public Safety for the Third Grade Seat Belt
Program we are able to teach a one-time program on wearing safety belts in motor vehicles. The
program is taught only to third grade students.
With a grant from the Prevention Partners of Northwest Ohio we were able to complete
compliance checks on sixteen businesses in Northwood that sell alcoholic beverages. All sixteen
businesses received recognition and a sticker to place on their door for meeting their legal
obligations.
DETECTIVE BUREAU
The Detective Bureau’s staff consists of Detective Sergeant Jeffery
Zahradnik who supervises Detectives Mike Kutchenriter and Tina
Sigler. In addition to cases assigned for investigation, the Detective
Bureau assists outside agencies such as the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (F.B.I.), the Fugitive Task Force, Drug Enforcement
Administration (D.E.A.), United States Postal Inspectors and other
police departments in various aspects of law enforcement. These would
include such things as executing search warrants, drug arrests,
surveillance and suspect identification through computer imaging. They
will also assist Road Patrol with investigations and the filing of adult
and juvenile charges.
The Detective Sergeant is responsible for the management of all cases. This includes case
assignment and case clearance. We have many ways in which cases are cleared. The most
notable are clearances in which we make an arrest, the case is unfounded, the case is referred to
another agency, prosecution is declined, the victim refuses to cooperate or, after exhausting all
leads, we are unable to identify a suspect. Although all cases are not cleared, there are numerous
times that through investigation of one crime other crimes are cleared. These crimes may not be
in the City of Northwood, but in other communities as well.

The internet has opened new doors for
investigations. As members of the Middle
Atlantic-Great Lakes Organized Crime
Law
Enforcement
Network
(MAGLOCLEN) we have access to
Accurint® a LexisNexis® service that
provides information products that allow
organizations to quickly and easily extract
valuable knowledge from huge amounts of
data. These innovative products are made
possible
by
integrating
powerful
technology, tens of billions of data records
on individuals and businesses, and patentpending data-linking methods. Also, the
Ohio Attorney General’s Office offers a
website specifically for law enforcement through Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway (OHLEG) and
the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police project Ohio Local Law Enforcement Information
Sharing Network (OLLEISN). The detectives continually attend new training to maintain the
skills that are necessary to complete thorough investigations.
K-9 UNIT
The Northwood Police Department’s K-9 Unit consists of
Patrolman Fred Genzman and his K-9 partner Barney. Barney is a
dual-purpose dog trained in criminal apprehension and explosives
material detection. Our K-9 Unit is prepared for call out at any
time when requested by Wood County agencies. Their services
have been made available to the Joint Terrorism Task Force that
operates out of the Toledo FBI Office. Patrolman Genzman has
been screened, and received secret clearance status with the
Federal Government for this purpose.
K-9 Unit call-outs consist of vehicle sniffs, locker and parking lot
sniffs, tracking requests, area checks, article checks, building
checks and criminal apprehension. Our K-9 Unit was called out 7
times in 2009. The majority were to track suspects who fled the
scene of a crime on foot. Our K-9 Unit is also active in
community service such as demonstrations at events and classrooms, etc. Barney loves to
demonstrate his special skills and fascinates people of all ages with his remarkable ability to
follow instruction. He is a well-behaved dog and has proven to be an excellent police partner.
We had nine requests for community service and/or demonstrations in 2009. Unfortunately, due
to budgetary cuts, our K-9 program ended and Barney retired on December 21, 2009.

SPECIAL RESPONSE TEAM
Patrolman John Kersker (pictured at left) and Patrolman Mike Schwanbeck
(shown below right) are assigned to the Wood County Special Response
Teams. The Wood County Sheriff’s Office has two teams of officers from
around the County.
We provide uniforms, some special equipment such as small tactical
weapons, duty belt and, knee and elbow protection. We also make the
officers available for call-outs. The Sheriff provides special armored vests,
transportation vehicles, specialized weapons and
training facilities. The officers are each assigned to
one of the two teams and train with them at least twice a month.
In 2009 the officers responded to 17 calls which included a barricaded
subject in Bowling Green, and several search warrants throughout Wood
County for illegal drugs. In addition, the team assisted the United States
Secret Service by providing security for Vice-President Joe Biden when he
spoke at Willard & Kelsey Solar Plant in Perrysburg Township.
ANIMAL CONTROL
Diane Wenzel (pictured at left) and Nancy Sparks
(pictured at right) are part–time Animal Control Officers
for the City of Northwood. The police officers and
dispatchers share the responsibility whenever Diane and
Nancy are not available to handle calls.
The department responded to animal control incidents as

INCIDENT REPORTS
Police personnel generate Incident Reports when a complaint is of such a nature that it requires
detailed information. Such reports include crime reports, information reports on suspicious
circumstances, abandoned motor vehicles, driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, or
driving under suspension, etc. This table shows the total of Incident Reports generated by the
police department from 2004 through 2009.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) annually publishes Crime in the United States. The
information reported is obtained from local law enforcement agencies. We as a local law
enforcement agency report crimes that are committed in our respective community. This
reported data is submitted to the FBI through the National Incident Based Reporting System
(NIBRS). Although the data we submit is very detailed on all crimes committed, the following
table gives us a snapshot of the major crimes that were committed in the City of Northwood.

The Northwood Police Department is very active in its pursuit of justice for those who commit
crimes against the public and/or property. Sometimes we file charges and make arrests on the
scene and sometimes we file charges and make arrests at another time. We also check businesses
after hours to make sure that they did not leave doors and/or windows open, and we check
residents’ homes while they are on vacation. The following table depicts the total number of
felony charges, criminal arrests both felony and misdemeanor, and the number of checks we
made on homes while their owners were away.

SCHOOL CROSSING GUARDS
The Northwood Police Department currently provides school crossing guard
services at the Woodville Road and Lemoyne Road Intersection. Carmen
McBride (pictured at left) provides the main crossing guard service with
Nancy Sparks providing backup as needed.
TRAFFIC CONTROL
Traffic Control is our most visible work
product. You see the marked police cars
patrolling the City. You see them when they
have their overhead lights on at a traffic stop or
traffic crash. Sometimes you see them in your
review mirror and you quickly check your
speedometer and make sure to complete your
stop at stop signs. We try to bring order through
traffic control devices and enforcement in what
otherwise would be definite chaos on the street.
Can you imagine an intersection without stop
signs or traffic lights? With two major
interstates and two state routes, the City of
Northwood receives more vehicles traveling through or stopping to visit than many cities the
same size. We take pride in the fact that our officers are highly trained in conducting
professional, courteous and safe traffic stops for both the motoring public and the officers.
Traffic Crashes
Although we would consider traffic crash reports as Incident Reports, we have kept them
separate for this report. The State of Ohio requires us to submit a report that has been developed
by them. We refer to this as an OH-1. The State has specific guidelines as to what is a
reportable crash and what is not reportable. We do not take crash reports on private property if
there were no injuries and if all those responsible for the crash are present. However, we will
respond to a private property crash to assist each party involved in acquiring the necessary
information they need for an insurance claim. We are not required to report minor crashes on the
roadway with no injuries and damage less than $400.00.

We were glad to see a decrease in crashes again in 2009. This is six years in a row we have seen
a decrease in the amount of crashes occurring in the City. For a point of comparison just
consider the fact that in 2003 we had 368 crashes and this year we recorded 215 crashes. That is
a 41.5% decrease in the amount of crashes in just 6 years.; plus the severity of the crashes are
also down by 57%.
Traffic Enforcement Activity
The City of Northwood uses
automated photo enforcement for
speeding and red light offenses.
Permanent cameras are located at
the Woodville Road and Lemoyne
Road intersection, and the Oregon
Road and Wales Road intersection.
We also have a van that has a
camera set up for speed violations.
This van is deployed in high crash
areas and on residential streets
based on citizen complaints.
However, City Council voted to
discontinue the use of the Speed
Van and on December 4, 2009 the
Speed Van was taken out of
service. The van will be returned to Redflex Traffic Systems located in Arizona. Therefore, the
Traffic Camera Operator position held by Katie Perkins was eliminated.
The following table depicts our efforts in the enforcement of traffic code violations. Although
we cite under many State and Local codes, this table breaks down into categories the types of
documentation we use to cite traffic violators. Most adult traffic violators are cited into the
Northwood Mayor’s Court, but in some cases we cite them into Perrysburg Municipal Court. All
juvenile violators are cited into Wood County Juvenile Court.

REVENUES & EXPENDITURES
The Northwood Police Department has various sources of revenues. Although the revenues are
not expected to meet or exceed the nearly two million dollars budgeted for the police department,
they do contribute. The following table indicates sources of revenue that is collected by the
police department. The department received $13,897.51 in grant money from Federal and State
entities. Grant money consisted of funds for the D.A.R.E. programs, funding of the Third Grade
Safety Belt Program, and overtime pay for Alcohol Compliance Checks and OVI (Operating
Vehicle Impaired) traffic enforcement.
The Automated Enforcement Program is going well and we continue to see a decrease in revenue
due to fewer violations. In 2009 this program generated $36,506.72. The current contract with
Redflex Traffic Systems for our permanently mounted cameras is set to expire in 2010.
