Congratulations to the West Virginia Mountaineers Baseball team on advancing to the NCAA Super Regional!

Officers from the Granville Police Department will be assisting throughout the weekend to help manage traffic and keep attendees safe. Also we would also like to recognize the outstanding work performed by University Police and Ruby Security during last weekend's regional games and know the trend will continue. We encourage fans to plan ahead, expect increased traffic, and follow directions from event staff and law enforcement personnel.

We would also like to remind visitors that while the WVU Hospital area is a popular vantage point for watching the games, parking in hospital lots is intended first and foremost for patients, visitors, and healthcare staff. Additionally, where parking or viewing is permitted, alcohol consumption is prohibited. Please be respectful of hospital operations and those seeking medical care.

Good luck to the Mountaineers as they continue their journey toward Omaha. We look forward to a great weekend of baseball in Granville!

Today, parts of our team completed their annual fitness events before the rain came.

As part of our wellness and performance program, officers voluntarily participate in a series of fitness events once each year. Officers who successfully complete the events at or above the required standards earn an additional two vacation days annually.

We’re proud of the dedication, discipline, and commitment our officers continue to demonstrate — both on duty and in maintaining the physical readiness needed to serve our community.

🚨 Traffic Advisory – University Town Centre Drive 🚨

The Granville Police Department would like to advise the community of the upcoming opening of Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers located at 3515 University Town Centre Drive on Tuesday, February 3rd. 🐔🍗

Due to the anticipated popularity of the new restaurant, heavy traffic congestion is foreseen, particularly in the parking lot areas near the Petco and Target plaza. Motorists should expect delays in and around these areas, especially during peak dining hours.

Officers will be on scene, and all reasonable efforts will be made to ease the flow of traffic and ensure the safety of other motorists and pedestrians. Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, consider alternate routes when possible, and remain patient.

Please obey posted traffic signs and follow any directions given by law enforcement.
