Child Safety Seat Inspections

Please visit Dayton Children's for information on car seat safety or to schedule an appointment with one of their certified car seat technicians.

Civilian Volunteer Program

Civilian volunteers assist with directing traffic around crash scenes and with blocking off roads for downed trees, power lines, and major crashes. They also position the speed board in neighborhoods and help with vehicle counts at OVI checkpoints.

High-Visibility Enforcement

Officers work overtime on traffic enforcement during holidays to help make sure that travel is safe. A grant from the Ohio Traffic Safety Office pays the overtime for officers to provide this High-Visibility Enforcement.

Motorcycle Enforcement

Washington Township's motorcycle improves traffic enforcement with its low profile, while its size and maneuverability enable it to respond quickly to traffic accidents where vehicles block the scene. The motorcycle also helps connect police to the community by making the officer riding it more approachable. 

OVI Checkpoints

Conducted several times per year at varying locations, OVI checkpoints identify drivers who are operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

Checkpoints take place on roads that have experienced a high occurrence of alcohol-related crashes, deaths, or arrests. Funding comes from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Seat Belt Program

Sheriff's deputies share a program about seat belt safety with every third grader in Centerville-Washington Township.

Speed Board

When residents express a concern about speeders on their streets, the MCSO Washington Township Substation positions a trailer with a speed board in the neighborhood. The speed board monitors vehicle speed and serves as a friendly reminder for motorists.

Click It or Ticket

Deputies focus on seat belt safety for two weeks each May, targeting drivers and occupants who are riding unrestrained. This national program includes banners and yard signs reminding motorists to buckle up.

Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest.

From late August through Labor Day, deputies participate in special enforcement activities for drunk driving and in a public education campaign that includes public service announcements and other reminders.
