Happy Weekend!
NCPD’s officers logged 136 call records from 5/23-5/29, an average just over 19/day or a bit over 6 per shift. Here’s a quick peek at some of what they handled.

2 ea- Open Door, Verbal Dispute
1 ea- 911 Hangup, Assist Other Agency, Follow-up, Lost & Found, Parking Complaint, Property
Damage Crash, Special Detail, Suspicious Vehicle, Traffic Jam, Verbal Domestic.

85 House/Business Checks
9 Traffic Stops resulting in 5 warnings, 1 no-violation, and 3 tickets for the following:

5/24- Cambridge female- Speed 56/35 W Main/Rix Mills
5/25- Uniontown, PA female- Speed 59/35 W Main/Rix Mills
5/28- New Concord female- Expired Plates (Aug ’25) W Main/S Friendship

You may be wondering about the 1 “no-violation” stop. Why would the police stop a driver who isn’t committing a traffic offense? In this case, the stop was for no license plates.

The driver was headed back to her home near Circleville, Ohio after having just completed an Ohio State Highway Patrol Salvage Inspection at their Cambridge location. Ohio law allows owners to drive their salvage vehicles directly to and from a scheduled inspection and one is required before the owner can buy plates for the vehicle. It wasn’t until after the officer made the traffic stop and collected the driver’s license, salvage title, and inspection certificate that they determined this wasn’t just someone trying to save a buck by not renewing their plates.

It's the National Road Yard Sales this weekend, so get out there and do some treasure hunting!
Be Safe!

This holiday weekend is the customary kick-off to summer, but Memorial Day is not meant to be a cheerful holiday event. It’s intended to be a somber, reflective time to remember all those who died in service to their country in the armed forces. If you have a service member or veteran in your circle, it’s ok to thank them for their service. But be sure to tell them you appreciate the fact they made it home and didn’t join the ranks of those who gave it all!

Be Safe!

In the past two days, we've taken calls from people stating they were scammed by text messages or phone calls from someone claiming to be law enforcement. In one instance, the scammer specifically claimed to be one of our officers!

We want to be crystal clear about this...we issue ticket books, not receipt books to our officers. Why? Because our officers do NOT collect money for any traffic citations or criminal cases. If you have an outstanding warrant, we will NOT call you on the phone, we prefer to handle that in-person. If you have an outstanding traffic or criminal case debt, our officers will NOT accept any payments from you regarding that case. We will NOT call you to turn yourself in unless we're actually outside your house with lots of backup and an armored vehicle.

PLEASE...don't send money, a copy of your Social Security card, or driver's license to anyone you don't have a legitimate, confirmed, pre-existing business relationship with.

Be Safe!

The Officers of NCPD logged 167 call records from 4/25/26-5/1/26, an average of 23/day or 7.9/shift. Here’s a quick look at some of what they handled this week:

1 ea- Animal Complaint, Assist Public, Welfare Check, Lost & Found,
Mental, Noise Complaint, Open Door, Underage, Road
Hazard.
2 ea- Open Container, Parking Complaint
6- Traffic Details
27- Vacation Checks
63- House/Business After-Hrs Checks
22- Traffic Stops w/ 15 warnings and 7 tickets:

4/26/26 – Bexley female -W Main/Rix Mills Rd Speed 61/35
Cumberland male -W Main/Rix Mills Rd Speed 58/35
4/27/26 – Zanesville male -E Main/N Layton Expired Plates (2025)
4/28/26 – Byesville female -W Main/Rix Mills Rd Speed 52/35
4/29/26 – Cambridge male -John Glenn School Rd Speed 43/20
Philo male -W Main/Stormont St Red Light
4/30/26 – Cambridge female -W Main/Stormont St Red Light

Let’s talk briefly about Speed. The math tells us that kinetic energy increases proportionally to the square of speed. That means just a 30% increase in speed (say, 50 mph to 65 mph) creates a 69% increase in the kinetic energy at the point of a crash. For pedestrians the outcome is shocking! An EU study found 5% of pedestrians died when struck at 20 mph, 45% died when struck at 30 mph, but 85% died when struck at 40 mph. Just imagine the results if that young driver on John Glenn School Rd had struck a child during that active school zone. Please, slow down.

Be safe!!

Let’s chat briefly about parking regulations in the village. The registered owner of a vehicle is legally liable for any parking violation citations per section 351.02 of the village code. The local laws mirror the state law prohibiting where a car is permitted to stop or park and are listed in section 351.03 of the village ordinances and section 4511.68 of the Ohio Revised Code. There are many places drivers are not permitted to stop or park and include:

In front of a public or private driveway
Within ten feet of a fire hydrant
Within twenty feet of a crosswalk at an intersection
At any place where signs prohibit stopping, standing or parking, or where the curb is painted yellow, or at any place more than the maximum time limited by signs.
No parking for over 2 continuous hours between 8am and 5 pm Monday-Saturday within the business district (Rte 83 to Liberty St).

Parking tickets are minor misdemeanors but become more serious offenses and can even be arrestable if within one year of the offense, the offender has been convicted or plead guilty to one or more of several predicate traffic offenses, including speeding.

The weather's warming up and people are out and about...Be Safe!
