SHERIFF’S MISSION STATEMENT
The Mission of the Summit County Sheriff’s Office is to provide the
safest environment possible for all citizens within Summit County,
Ohio.
We will accomplish this mission through continual training, maintaining a proactive approach to deter the criminal element, as well
as utilizing all available resources for safe, expedient, and accurate responses to all incidents, all the while continuing to build and
preserve our community partnerships through positive interaction
with the public.
During this mission course we will continue our present application
of the Six Pillars of Character (Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship).
Through these achievements our agency will demonstrate a sincere dedication to this vision, “Our County, Our Commitment.”

Dear Summit County Citizens,
I am very pleased to present to all of you the Summit County Sheriff’s Office Annual Report, outlining our
year for 2014.
I’m proud that over the past year we have negotiated and settled four separate union contracts with our employees (including: civilians, sworn, and supervisory staff) as well as finalizing the “policing” contracts of
four out of our five patrol areas (being: the City of Green, Northfield Center, and Twinsburg Townships,
along with the Akron-Canton Airport).
As most of you are aware, the Summit County Sheriff’s Office has been severely understaffed since 2009. This
has been confirmed and documented by a Department of Justice recognized expert in correctional setting personnel and statistics. We are currently 104 staff members (civilian and sworn combined) short of our
“authorized strength.” I have to admit, we at the Sheriff’s Office were very disappointed when Summit County
Issue 12 was voted down in November 2014, as the revenue from this would have allowed us to hire more staff
to augment our safety and efficiency.
Even through this turmoil, our employees have always “answered the call” and continue to do a fantastic job
wherever they are assigned, and I would like to publicly thank them all for that! Sadly, due to our current situation, in early 2015 we will reduce the inmate population of the jail by releasing several dozen inmates to increase the deputy to inmate ratio and create a critically needed safer environment for everyone. However, we
will continue to do everything in our power to protect the citizens of our county.
Because of our employees’ true perseverance, along with the support from our community members, we will
always find ways to best serve everyone in Summit County. Thus, we continue to embrace the motto “Our
County, Our Commitment” and respectfully submit the Summit County Sheriff’s Office 2014 Annual Report
for your review.
Sincerely,
Steve Barry
Sheriff, County of Summit

ARSON REGISTRATION
Ohio has adopted the Arson Registry Law in hopes of helping to solve more cases, deter repeat offenses and prevent
deaths and property damage due to fire. The law went into
effect on July 1, 2013. The law requires anyone convicted
of an arson-related crime to register personally with the
Sheriff of the county in which the offender resides. The
offender is required to register annually for at least ten
years after they are released from prison. If the offender
was not given prison time they have to register after being
sentenced. Failure to complete this registration may result
in a fifth-degree felony charge. The Ohio Attorney General’s Office maintains the central database containing the
names, addresses, photos and other personal information
on fire-setters. The registry, unlike the database for sex
offenders, is available only to law enforcement officials and
not the public. There are currently twenty-seven (27) arsonists registered in Summit County.
Starting on September 29, 2013 all county sheriff’s became required to collect a one-time fee of $100.00 for first
time sex offender registrants. Fees collected are credited
to the Rape Crisis Program Trust. Individuals that refuse to
pay the fee are still registered as a sex offender but are
placed on a list that is submitted to the Ohio Attorney General’s Office each year indicating the refusal to pay. The
Attorney General may then file civil charges against the
individual refusing to pay. In 2014. There were thirty-six
(36) initial registrations of which all refused to pay the fee.

The D.A.R.E. elementary curriculum for the 5th Grade consists of a
series of ten lessons. The primary
focus of the 5th Grade program is
to develop the capacities needed
to enable students to take charge
of their lives with particular emphasis on substance use and abuse. Students are taught to
understand the many consequences of using alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, methamphetamine and inhalants on their
developing brains and bodies, as well as the consequences
for engaging in violent behavior. Students learn to develop
and use communication and resistance skills to make positive quality life decisions about substance use and abuse
and avoidance of violence. The presence of the officer in
the classroom is not only an integral part of the students
D.A.R.E. experience but a strong positive influence in their
lives. In addition to the standard 5th grade D.A.R.E. program, the Sheriff’s Office also presents the D.A.R.E. Middle
School Program at the 8th Grade level.
At the High School level, the deputies deliver drug awareness on Bath Salts, Heroin, and Methamphetamine. In addition the deputies conduct a Simulated Impaired DriviNg
Experience Program(S.I.D.N.E.).

bring awareness to the dangers of boating under the influence as well as reduce the number of alcohol and drugrelated accidents and fatalities on our nation's waterways
through heightened enforcement.
MARINE PATROL
The Sheriff’s Office is made up of eight part-time Marine
Patrol Deputies that serve as the primary law enforcement
agency on the waters of the Portage Lakes. The Portage
Lakes are a unique set of lakes that differ from the majority
of other bodies of water throughout the state. The actual
water is a State Park but the majority of the shore line is
private residences and businesses. There are currently
over 3,000 registered docks, 32,000 acres of water, thirtytwo (32) miles of shoreline, three (3) boat rental companies
and seven (7) bars/restaurants. There are events that occur
on a daily basis ranging from rowing clubs to over fifty (50)
bass fishing tournaments as well as several special events
throughout the season. There is some type of event being
held on the Portage Lakes every day.
The accomplishments of the Marine Patrol are due to the
experience of our unit members. This includes one member
of the unit having over twenty-three (23) years Marine Patrol experience and another two having over seventeen (17)
years of experience as well as one (1) member being on
the Summit County Special Operation Response Team
(SORT) Water Rescue Branch with SCUBA Dive, Ice Dive,
Swift Water, and Surface Ice Rescue certifications. Two (2)
members of the unit have won the Top Individual Marine
Patrolman Award. This type of experience cannot be duplicated through training
alone but only obtained
over time and constant
dedication from each person on the unit.
SPECIAL EVENTS:
•
Light up the Lakes is a night time parade that has become a major event and draws several thousand people to the lakes
•
4th of July Boat Parade and Fireworks
•
Poker Run to benefit the Akron Children’s Hospital Burn

CRISIS NEGOTIATION TEAM
The Summit County Sheriff’s Office SWAT Team, under the
command of Lieutenant Richard Armsey is comprised of
twenty (20) members consisting of fourteen (14) operators
and six (6) tactical medics. The team is made up of deputies of the Summit County Sheriff’s Office. The tactical
medics are Green Fire Department members that are an
integral part of training and operations. Tactical medics
have all attended accredited SWAT operator’s courses
along with additional medical training and certifications. All
SWAT Team members have completed the basic SWAT
course along with many additional training courses in
advanced tactics.
SWAT
Team members are required
to complete eight (8) hours
of training monthly along with
a forty (40) hour in-service
training. In 2014 the SWAT
Team conducted various
entry and operations throughout the county, providing support for the Sheriff’s Detective Bureau and Patrol Division,
the Federal Bureau of Investigations, the Drug Enforcement
Agency and other agencies requesting assistance. The
team is continually striving to increase their effectiveness,
efficiency and safety by keeping updated on new tactics,
training, new weaponry, legal updates, and equipment.
The SWAT Team conducted a search warrant with the Akron SWAT team in Akron involving a dog fighting ring. The
operation led to fifty-eight (58) arrests and several seizures
including drugs and cash.
The Sheriff's Crisis Negotiation Team is comprised of nine
(9) highly dedicated members under the supervision of
Lieutenant Michael Sanchez. The goal of the Crisis Negotiations Team is to resolve incidents involving barricaded
subjects, hostage takers, or persons threatening suicide. These situations represent especially trying and
stressful moments for personnel who respond to
them. Crisis negotiators must establish contact with subjects, identify their demands, and work to resolve tense and
often volatile standoffs without loss of life. A member of
the Crisis Negotiation Team is required to accompany the
SWAT team on all entries and high risk warrants. This provides an on-site negotiator should negotiation become necessary, adding another level of safety/security for the team
and the public. Sheriff's Crisis Negotiators have completed
Basic and Advanced Negotiator training through the Ohio
Police Officer Training Academy or the FBI. Further, they
have all been specifically trained to address individuals with
altered mental states, whether it be to drugs, alcohol, or
illness. Negotiation skills are maintained through on-going
continuing education via conferences and training hosted
by federal, state and local agencies. During 2014, crisis
negotiators were
utilized on one (1)
occasion when a
subject barricaded
himself in a bathroom during the
execution of a
search
warrant.
The
negotiators
were able to convince the subject to surrender and the incident ended without any resistance.

ADULT PROTECTIVE SERVICES
Since July of 2012, the Adult Protective Services (APS) has
contracted with the Sheriff’s Office for a detective. In January 2014, APS began contracting for a second detective.
The APS Unit consists of investigators, nurses, sanitarian
representative (zoning and hoarders), mental health/social
workers, and law enforcement. In January 2014, APS began
contracting for a second detective. The detectives work directly with the APS investigators on investigations of crimes
committed against the elderly in Summit County. APS addresses four major concerns with the elderly; neglect, selfneglect, abuse, and financial exploitation. Complaints are
received through a 24/7 hotline. The APS detective coordinates with the APS Unit on those cases screened and determined to have a need to be addressed with law enforcement. The detective works with neighboring police agencies
when a referral is already being addressed by that local law
enforcement to assist as necessary, in the investigation.
When a new case develops through the referral process,
the detective is responsible to file all reports and investigate
the case, ultimately holding individuals responsible for
crimes committed against the elderly.

Ohio’s extensive interstate highway system. The State of
Ohio, maintains the fourth largest interstate system and carries the third largest volume of truck traffic in the nation. The
geographical location of Summit County, within Ohio, places
it at a midway point between Chicago and the East Coast. It
is a natural corridor connecting traffic through source cities
including Detroit, New York, Youngstown and Columbus.
Additionally, these routes are easily accessible to traffickers
operating in Canada.
From a task force perspective, clandestine methamphetamine laboratory cases are extremely expensive, manpower
intensive and pose a serious health risk to investigators and
those officers charged with the dismantling of these sites. In
2014, Lt. Paolino, in accordance with Summit County Codified Ordinance 521.11, implemented a process for billing
home-owners and non-member police agencies for methamphetamine lab clean-up costs. The program was designed
to recover a small percentage of the expenses relating to
methamphetamine lab clean-up.
The Summit County Community Partnership Inc. is an organization of more than 180 businesses, municipalities, organizations and community activists working together to
reduce the costly impacts of substance abuse in our community. Board members include representatives from businesses, law, health care (Children’s Hospital of Akron, Summa Health Systems), Akron Host Lions, Northeastern Ohio
Universities College of Medicine and Pharmacy, Community
Health Center and community activists. The Drug Unit and
the Summit County Community Partnership has engaged in
additional efforts to combat the methamphetamine epidemic
in Summit County through a series of presentations including a Methamphetamine Awareness Program, as well as a
program dealing with the overall effects of drug trafficking.

The Summit County Jail opened in August of 1990 with a

provide optimum visibility by deputies in order
to monitor inmate behavior and protect staff
and inmates from assault. The podular design
of the facility not only allows maximum staff/
inmate contact in accordance with the “Direct
Supervision” concept but provides the ability to
maximize the classification of the inmates ac-

cording to State Minimum Standards. The inmate classification system determines housing assignments based on inmates’ tendencies for violence or non-violence.
All inmates are classified at the time of booking
according to the severity of their current crime
and their criminal history. The inmates are then
housed according to their classification. Also taken into consideration for classification are past
behavior problems, medical and mental health

In September 1994, the Common Pleas Court approved
double bunking in forty-eight (48) cells and in May 1995, a
new addition to the jail was opened. The expansion, replaced the Akron Correctional Facility operated by the City
of Akron and known as the "Workhouse". The expansion
added 128 beds. The City of Akron now contracts for 100
male misdemeanant beds. In June 2005, the County and
Bureau of Adult Detention both agreed on the double bunking of three pods for housing lower classification inmates,
adding seventy-two (72) beds, and an additional eleven (11)
beds to the female housing dorms taking the jail to its current capacity of 671. (564-male beds, 89-female beds, and
18-optional beds which can be assigned as male, female, or
juvenile beds depending on the inmate count).
The jail is operated using state of the art security and surveillance equipment including closed circuit television cameras and various computerized door control and alarm systems. Central Control is the "nerve center" of the facility.
Deputies assigned to operate this area control the facility's
communication systems and monitor all movement throughout the facility. Aside from the advanced technology available to staff, the key elements to the effective management of
the jail are use of good communication skills and continuing
training and education in modern methods of inmate management.
