County roundup: Hiram Township will continue police patrols 100 hours per month, plus Garrettsville and Mantua updates

Hiram Township will continue to have 100 Village of Hiram police patrol hours per month. That was a contract that, when originally established, was 60 hours per month.

“This keeps the community a lot safer,” township Trustee Debra Blake said. “We’ve had speeding troubles on Pioneer Trail, Limeridge Road and Vaughn Road. They’ve made some traffic stops and handed out some citations to slow down the traffic there. The complaints have decreased, and actually we get some compliments from people calling us saying it feels a little safer.”
