Community Resource Officer

The Community Resource Officer (CRO) is responsible for a variety of tasks which include organizing and coordinating neighborhood watch programs and security and safety presentations for community groups and businesses.  This officer assists in mediating neighbor disputes and attempts to resolve quality of life violations, such as animal complaints.  The Community Resource Officer also coordinates Sharonville’s Shop with a Cop program for economically disadvantaged students.  The Community Resource Officer strives to build ties within the community by becoming familiar with the residents and with the students in our Sharonville schools. 

Programs Offered by the CRO

D.A.R.E. – The D.A.R.E. program is offered to students attending the Sharonville elementary schools.  The D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) curriculum teaches students how to resist peer pressure, the importance of good decision making, and how to responsibly report bullying.  This nationally renowned program has been well received in the Princeton City School District and is very popular among the students.

Response to Extreme Workplace Violence – The Sharonville Police Department is dedicated to the safety of not only our citizens, but also the people who work in Sharonville. As time allows, we offer presentations and consultations for businesses in Sharonville, concerning potential workplace violence incidents. 

Shop with a Cop – This program is offered to economically disadvantaged students attending Sharonville and Stewart Elementary Schools.  These students are selected by their teachers based on need.  This program is strictly funded by donations provided by area businesses and residents.  If you would like to make a donation for this worthy cause, contact Officer Aaron Hayes at 513-563-1147.

The Community Resource Officer also provides police department tours and participates in Camp Sharonville during “Safety Camp” week.

Property Room/Evidence Technician

The property room is a secure room where vital evidence and found property is stored.  The Police Evidence Technician is responsible for the control and custody of evidence until it is properly disposed of or released to its owner.  If you have any questions about evidence or found property, please contact Stephenne Mohn at 513-563-1147 or complete the online evidence/found property form. 

Webchecks

Many public and private employers require background checks for employment purposes.  State law mandates that schools, day care centers, health care facilities, and others require such checks as part of the hiring process.  Some individuals are also required to have a background check to obtain professional licensure.  These criminal history background checks are processed through the Ohio Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) via a process called WebCheck.  BCI completes such background checks by comparing fingerprints received against a database of criminal fingerprints to determine if there is a criminal record. All fingerprints must be submitted to BCI electronically through WebCheck.

The Sharonville Police Department is an authorized Ohio BCI WebCheck location, which allows us to transmit fingerprints electronically to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) and to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), if needed. The cost for a BCI or FBI WebCheck is $45; the fee for both is $70.00. Our WebCheck hours are Thursdays, between 9 a.m. and noon.
