Special Events

During the holiday season, our officers and dispatchers take North Ridgeville kids on a shopping spree so that they can buy items that they may need or want or for gifts for their loved ones. We will take them to breakfast and lunch and they will be taken shopping in a caravan of police cars. It’s really a once in a lifetime event for the children. We have partnered up with Avon PD and other Lorain County agencies and take the kids to Meijer’s in Avon. Meijer’s has also given a generous donation toward this event. If you’d like to donate to this wonderful annual event, you can make a cash donation or a check made out to the North Ridgeville Police Association. Any donation is always appreciated and no donation is too small.

North Ridgeville Police Department participates in the annual Trunk or Treat with other Northern Ohio law enforcement officers, medics, firefighters and more.

The Police Department teams up with the Kiwanis Club of North Ridgeville for a community helpers-themed story time, craft and activities. Each family received a special book courtesy of the Kiwanis Club.

The Police Department is proud to participate in the Annual Pete Soto Chili Cook-Off. All proceeds of this event benefit The Lorain County Blue Foundation, a non-profit organization established to assist families of officers down or critically injured in the line of duty.
