Today, on the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, we pause to remember the lives lost and the countless people whose lives were forever changed.

We honor the courage and sacrifice of the first responders who ran toward danger to protect and save others, as well as the everyday heroes who stepped forward in the moments that followed.

Twenty-five years later, their courage, compassion and sacrifice remain a part of our nation’s story.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

Built to serve our officers. Built to serve our community.

The new Gahanna Division of Police facilities provide our officers with enhanced spaces, resources, and training opportunities to support the work they do every day.

From advanced training facilities that help officers sharpen their skills and prepare for a wide range of situations, to new community-focused features like a 24/7 safe room and prescription drug drop box, this space was designed with both safety and service in mind.

It’s an investment in the tools and training our officers need to serve Gahanna with pride and purpose.

Take a look inside the new Division of Police facilities at the Gahanna Civic Center. 🚔

Summer freckles, a love of booty-scritches so deep it left a heart mark, and a tail that goes 0 to 100 in 2 seconds flat, we were sad to see our new friend off. If you recognize this friend, reach out to FCAC.
