The Bentleyville Police Department sends our deepest condolences to the Rittman Police Department and the family of Sgt. Scott Ries, who lost his life in the line of duty last night. We will continue to think of you and your community through this incredibly difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are also with the other officers struck as well as Wayne County Sheriff's K9 Vick; we send them strength and healing during their recovery.

Help support our fire department and local communities by donating food for Harvest for Hunger! Drop off non-perishable goods at our Village Hall now through the end of March 🥫

In a joint effort, between the Chagrin Valley Fire Department and the villages that we serve, we will be collecting for the Greater Cleveland Food Bank’s annual Harvest for Hunger Campaign. Donation boxes will be found in all public city buildings. You can donate your Non-perishable food and household items throughout the month of March. Donations made will help fight hunger in 21 North-East Ohio’s counties. Last year with our combined efforts we were able to collect and donate over 2600 lbs. of food and over $600 dollars in donations. I believe this community wide effort will make a big difference in many people’s lives. So clean out your pantries at home and let’s make 2026 the best year yet.

The Foodbanks most needed items:

Cereal (hot or cold)
Peanut butter
Canned tuna/chicken
Canned fruits and vegetables
Canned or boxed entrees
Whole grain rice and pasta
Beans (canned or dried)
100% juice
Pasta sauce (low sodium)

Questions or comments please contact me.

Last week (the coldest night of last week to be specific 🥶), Det. Morris and Ofc. Hoover were on patrol and came across kids sledding at the South Chagrin Reservation sledding hill. They were kind enough to let us crash their sledding session, and even raced Det. Morris down the hill. We had so much fun, and thankfully there were no injuries and no frost bite, even though it felt like -25 🛷❄️

Your safety and the safety of our drivers is our top priority. Due to the recent winter storm and hazardous driving conditions, all routes scheduled for the week of 1/26 through 1/30 will be delayed by one day.

This delay allows cities and townships time to clear roads and improve access so our team can safely complete service.

What to know:
• Please place items at your regular pickup location
• Ensure carts and items are accessible and not blocked by ice or snow
• Kimble Landfill, Transfer Stations, and Customer Service will be closed on Monday, 1/26
