🇺🇸 ALWAYS REMEMBER — SEPTEMBER 11 🇺🇸

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. A quarter-century later, we solemnly remember the nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost and honor all those whose lives were forever changed.

We remember the extraordinary courage of the first responders—police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and rescue workers—who ran toward unimaginable danger to save others. We also remember the countless ordinary Americans who displayed remarkable bravery, compassion, and selflessness in the face of tragedy.

In one of our nation’s darkest hours, Americans stood together with strength, unity, and resolve.

We honor those who were lost, those who answered the call to serve, and the families who have carried their loss for the past 25 years.

May we never forget their sacrifice, their courage, and the spirit of unity that brought our nation together.

We will never forget. 🇺🇸

A special thank you to our first responders, healthcare workers, dispatchers, public works crews, service industry employees, and everyone else whose work doesn’t stop just because it’s a holiday.

If your Labor Day plans include traveling or celebrating, please buckle up, drive responsibly, and never drive impaired.

From all of us at the Lodi Police Department, have a safe and happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸🚔

🐾 FOUND DOG – HELP US FIND HIS OWNER! 🐾

This little guy was found wandering loose this evening near Advanced Bronze on Ohio Street. An officer was able to catch him and get him safely off the roadway.

He is a small black-and-white Chihuahua mix, approximately 10 pounds. He was found without a collar or identification tags.

He has been transported to the Medina County Animal Shelter for safekeeping while we try to locate his family.

Please take a look at the photos and share this post. If you recognize him or know who his owner may be, please contact the Lodi Police Department or the Medina County Animal Shelter.

Hopefully, with a little help from the community, we can get this little guy back home where he belongs.

⚠️ SCAM ALERT & COMMUNITY WARNING ⚠️

Our neighbors at the Lorain County Sheriff’s Office have issued an important warning about increasingly sophisticated financial scams targeting area residents. Criminals are utilizing advanced tactics—including spoofed phone numbers, impersonating bank or law enforcement personnel, and creating high-pressure situations—to try to trick people out of their hard-earned money.

We want to share this reminder with our own community to help keep everyone alert and protected:

🚨 Key Things to Remember:
• Banks & Police Will Never Call for Immediate Payment: Law enforcement agencies, courts, and financial institutions will never call you demanding money, gift cards, or crypto to clear warrants or resolve account issues.
• Caller ID Can Be Faked: Scammers frequently use "spoofing" technology to make their calls look like they are coming from a legitimate bank or a local police department.
• Slow Down and Verify: If someone calls claiming to be from your bank or local authorities, hang up immediately. Do not give out personal info, account numbers, or verification codes.
• Call Directly: Always look up the official, trusted phone number of your bank or local police department yourself to verify if a claim is real.

Please share this post to help keep our friends, family, and neighbors across Northeast Ohio safe from fraudsters! If you ever receive a suspicious call in our area, don't hesitate to reach out to us directly. 💙
