  Our Great Boardman Police Department!:   April 29, 2021 Edition  
      Six decades ago, Boardman Township was beginning to change from a sleepy ‘bedroom’ community of Youngstown to the hub of retail activity in Mahoning County.
      With that transition, our local Boardman Township Police Department began to modernize its use of technology, and manpower was increased in an effort to deal with the changing times.
      Fast forward to today, and the admonitions of previous leadership at the Boardman Police Department rings clear---“We better be prepared for what’s coming.”
      Police in Boardman Township today deal with issues---time and time again---that police here rarely dealt with 60 years ago---particularly drug abuse and all the thefts and absurd behavior related to addiction; as well as addicts and drug dealers and other unsavory types of humanity who seem to come to Boardman Township hostelries. It seems more often than not that issues arise when police presence is requested to deal with people who have little or no respect for the concept of law and order. And often, these people who call for the police, refuse to provide statements on the issue at hand.
      For what it’s worth, Boardman Township police are well-trained and very professional, despite the overwhelming number of calls during which they deal with absurd behavior and court decisions that place criminals back on the streets all to soon.
      We take an extreme amount of pride in the professional development of the Boardman Police Department as it moved into the 21st Century with the exception of dropping accreditation of the gold standard in public safety---The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA).
      Our police have earned, and deserve the full support of our community!
