The City of Hilliard Division of Police offers a variety of educational programs for our community. For more information, please contact our Community Relations Officers at policeinfo@hilliardohio.gov.
Hilliard residents work together with Hilliard police to create a community-based crime prevention program tailored for their neighborhood. Block Watch members create a chain of communication directly with police, commit to watch over each other’s homes, and report any suspicious activities to the police and each other.
Citizens ages 18 and older are invited into the fascinating world of first responders during this interactive 10-week class. Classes are held Tuesday evenings during spring at the Safety Services Building and focus on various topics, including laws, K-9, de-escalation, radar, dispatch, and fire. Please note: This class is not to become a police officer and is meant for adults of all ages.
This hands-on program for young men and women age 14 through 20 years old who have completed the eighth grade. It is subsidiary of the Boy Scouts of America and offers career activities for youths who are interested in law enforcement.
This class for grades 4-6 gives children insight into the world of police forensic science and crime solving. Children will overview careers in forensics and then explore a mock crime scene where they will gather evidence. Using the evidence, hands-on mini-labs and critical thinking skills, they will solve the “donut caper.” Parents are asked to help with labs during this class. A minimum of 10 students and maximum of 25 students. We also require at least one parent for every five children.

This free self defense and state-of-mind course for women ages 15 and older is one of our most popular programs. It focuses on prevention strategies with self defense options that can be used as a last resort if you are attacked. It’s offered four times a year — typically twice in February and twice in August — with the advanced class taking place in October. Watch HPD social media for registration opening announcements. Register online with Recreation and Parks.
The Hilliard Division of Police has a prescription drug drop-off box in the lobby of the Safety Services Building, 5171 Northwest Parkway. Bring in unwanted medications in pill or capsule form any time it is convenient. We cannot accept creams, liquids, sprays, inhalers, needles, syringes, Epi-pens, ointments, suspensions and fluids. The drop box is for residential use only. (No businesses, please.)
We offer businesses and residents a free physical security assessment. Hilliard officers will perform a site walk-through of your business or residence to address safety and security concerns of the physical interior and exterior property. In addition, we will provide a complete packet that will help you gain insight to implement a full site security assessment and risk analysis. Our goal is to address safety concerns and, in turn, improve the quality of life in our community.
