Safe Streets, Strong Community

From Harrison Township District Captain Isaiah Kellar

Safety is the foundation of any thriving community, and here in Harrison Township, we take that responsibility seriously. As the captain of your local substation, I want you to know our team is committed to protecting every neighborhood—from Northridge to Shiloh to Ft. McKinley.

We’ve enhanced our community-oriented policing (COP) efforts, including patrols on foot, bike, and e-bike. These initiatives help us build trust and maintain a visible, responsive presence in your neighborhoods. When deputies are seen, engaged, and involved, crime prevention improves—and so does peace of mind.

But public safety is a partnership. When residents share concerns, attend neighborhood meetings, or simply say hello during patrols, they’re helping build a safer township. We appreciate your support and welcome your input.

Our mission is simple: to protect and serve with integrity, professionalism, and care. With your help, we’re making Harrison Township a place where families can live, grow, and feel safe every day.

Community Oriented Policing in Harrison Township

Our Community Oriented Policing (COP) program brings a hands-on, proactive approach to public safety. Two dedicated deputies focus on building strong relationships across the township—one works closely with neighborhood groups and local businesses to address concerns and prevent crime, while the other partners with group homes to mentor youth and help them stay on the right path. It’s about more than enforcement—it’s about connection, trust, and making our community safer for everyone.
