Law Enforcement
The Fairfield County Sheriff's Department provides law enforcement and protection
for those portions of Violet Township that lie outside the corporation limits of
Pickerington, Reynoldsburg and Canal Winchester. A "mutual aid" pact exists between
the Sheriff's office and the local municipalities. This agreement allows local police
officers to join with the Sheriff's deputies in responding to calls together.
Violet Township is divided into two patrol sectors, but a majority of the time there
are two or more cars available in the area that are available for calls. The response
time to a call in Violet Township is an average of less than ten minutes.
The Sheriff's office has their own support services, which include a full service
investigation division, Sheriff's Emergency Response Team (SERT), K-9 units, bicycle
patrols, and a special investigation and surveillance unit for misdemeanor theft
and vandalism cases. They are currently piloting and developing a community-policing
program to further benefit all villages and townships.
The Sheriff's office offers an array of community service and crime prevention programs
designed to help our citizens keep safe and help fight crime. These include checking
on our homebound residents, vacation watch, crime prevention units, and citizens
watch groups.
The Ohio Highway Patrol enforces traffic laws, investigates accidents, and operates
special enforcement programs to reduce accidents, injuries and life-threatening
violations on all roadways within Violet Township. Additionally, vehicle, bus, and
commercial vehicle inspections are conducted within the Township to insure motorist
safety.
