The Village of Newcomerstown intends to keep its police department intact.
Village administration has been considering whether to have the Tuscarawas County Sheriff’s Office start covering village limits due to a number of resignations within the police department.
A public meeting was held last week to gather input and council members decided on the issues at Monday’s regular meeting.
Mayor Pat Cadle issued a statement saying that due to the continued growth of the community, they believe it’s essential to maintain their local identity and police force, while the sheriff’s office will still assist in keeping the village safe during this challenging times.
