     The Police Department is structured with a Chief of Police, a Sergeant, a Detective Sergeant, 4 full-time Police Officers, and a Police Administrative Clerk.  Our officers will assist you in any time of need. We look to expand our department in the future with additional patrol officers working at night so there are two on-duty to watch over our residents. Keeping the community safe and interacting with our neighbors in a positive way is what we strive to do. Blanchester Police Department partners with other Federal, State, and Local law enforcement agencies in planning, training, and the sharing of information. We will continue to build strong relationships. 

     The Blanchester Officers are well trained and training will be ongoing. We have amongst our staff officers with many years of experience as Instructors, former SWAT members, ALICE instructors, and Firearms and Defensive Tactics Instructors. We have built a team of experienced law enforcement to keep you safe and protect your rights. We will engage with our community to put in place crime prevention measures such as Neighborhood Watch Programs. Our officers remain busy and committed.
