Quality & Cost Efficiency
The Township's police services are considered among the best in the nation, with all aspects of operations accredited – from dispatch to road patrol to the jail. The Sheriff's Office holds accreditation from four separate agencies and was the first in Ohio to receive accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). In 2009, MCSO became the first sheriff's office in Ohio to earn the Flagship Agency Award by meeting all accreditation standards set by CALEA.
Contracting with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office provides significant economies of scale. Washington Township residents pay less per person for police protection than many other localities, and in return for their investment, receive a variety of support services that smaller departments frequently can not afford.
