FROM THE OTTAWA COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE:

As you know we set several goals for the Put-in-Bay Township Deputies. One of the major goals we set for them was to have added training geared towards them being more self-reliant and to be able to perform their duties at a high level, and provide a high level of service to the citizens and guests of Put-in-Bay Township. I am happy to report that the classes listed below were completed by all four of our current Put-in-Bay Township Deputies. This is over 24 hours of training that was all free. The list of classes below will also become a part of new hire Field Training Program for those assigned Deputies.
