As we near the end of Police Week, we would like to recognize Chief Luke Turpin for his leadership, dedication, and unwavering commitment to both the department and the community he serves. Chief Turpin consistently puts the department before himself and always strives to do what is best for the men and women of the Police Department, ultimately ensuring the highest level of service to the citizens of St. Marys. His drive for success, professionalism, and ability to make thoughtful decisions for the greater good are reflected in the way he leads each and every day.

And although there’s usually a live stream of the Fostoria, Ohio rail-cam playing in the background of Chief Turpin's office, we still think he’s a fantastic Chief! 🚂👮
