We're proud to celebrate Officer Ryan Flowers for 20 years of dedicated service with the Plain City Police Department! 👮‍♂️👏

Officer Flowers was recognized at Monday’s Village Council meeting by Chief Dale McKee, who commended his commitment and service to our community over the past two decades.

A Plain City native, Officer Flowers has called it an honor to serve his hometown throughout his career. Since joining the department as a patrol officer, he has served in many important roles, including Field Training Officer, where he helps train and mentor new officers, as well as serving on the Bike Patrol Unit.

🚸Today, many families know Officer Flowers through his work with outreach programs alongside Jonathan Alder Schools at Plain City Elementary and Monroe Elementary. From directing traffic during morning drop-off and afternoon pickup to helping students safely navigate crosswalks and buses, he is a familiar and trusted presence for students, parents, and staff alike.

Officer Flowers has a true heart for serving youth in our community. Through his role, he teaches elementary students about internet safety, gun safety, and more. He's also a regular in teaching kids at Safety Town, which took place last week.

Thank you, Officer Flowers, for your selfless dedication, leadership, and service to the Plain City community for 20 years and counting! 💙

If you see him around town, be sure to thank him for his service! 👏

Congratulations to Officer Bayley Bocook who graduated from Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Training that was held in Marysville as part of a collaborative effort between all interested stakeholders in Union, Logan, Champaign and Madison counties. This training focuses on providing officers with the necessary training, techniques and resources to safely assist those who may be suffering from a crisis such as a mental heath issue. The training covers recognizing symptoms of mental illness, verbal de-escalation, legal issues related to mental health, and understanding community resources.

The Plain City Division of Police makes it mandatory that all officers complete this valuable and necessary training.
