Economic development is vitally important in our county government because it creates more opportunity and a better way of life for residents of Columbiana County. It will increase funds to improve county services and allow businesses to grow in revenue as well.

We need to explore the options of placing substations through out the county. 

As a previous law enforcement officer I know the need for quick responses can mean the difference in a good outcome to a situation rather than a bad one.

We as a community can work with the Sheriff and help implement new procedures to decrease these longer response times. 

I have spoken with some of our Township leaders and they are willing to help in the cost and provide locations for the deputies to work out of. 

Starting off small and expanding as needed could make the difference in how a situation that requires law enforcement intervention turns out.

These meetings will be posted on social media prior to the date and time so that citizens have the time to make arrangements to attend.  Read More
