COLERAIN TOWNSHIP, Ohio — Voters in Colerain Township will decide on a levy that would provide funding for its police department in next month's election.

It's the third police levy vote in two years , the first in November 2023 and the second in March 2024. Both recent votes failed.

Colerain Township Administrator Jeff Weckbach told us the money will be used for operational costs and to hire seven new officers if the levy passes.

Weckbach said the cost would be about $188 for the average home in Colerain, which equates to approximately $102 per $100,000 for homeowners.

"We're hearing a lot from residents that they want to see more traffic enforcement and more of the proactive crime stops, whether it's drug-related or other things," Weckbach said.
