In our community of Bainbridge, OH, I have personally faced the unsettling situation of dealing with squatters living in makeshift shelters made of pallets and tarps. It's an ongoing issue that isn’t just a personal inconvenience but a wider community concern. Alongside this, the presence of individuals involved in problematic activities, such as drug use, has caused considerable distress.

Our town lacks a daily Police presence to address these critical matters effectively. Currently, our community's safety relies on sporadic visits from the county police .This has left a significant gap in ensuring the security and wellbeing of Bainbridge, and it's time we address it.

Establishing a larger Police presence in Bainbridge, OH, means resources focused on our community’s unique needs. It would ensure timely responses to incidents, constant community policing to reduce crime, and proactive measures to tackle issues like squatting and drug-related activities.
