If you are highly intoxicated & underage it is not a good idea to attempt to open the back door of a police cruiser and tell the officer to drive you to Mason, Ohio. #GBD.

If you get arrested this weekend, you could be in jail during final exam week & your professors might not accept a call from “an inmate at Butler County Jail” for you to ask if you can reschedule.

Yesterday afternoon some @miamiuniversity students stopped by station and dropped off boxes of masks for our officers. This act of kindness was very much appreciated. The students also brought us 2 pans of delicious chicken & fried rice from Yum Yum. #We❤️OurCommunity

Shoutout to the Fraternities that called & let us know when and where you’re throwing house parties later today. We’ll see you then! We’re not sure who told you all that letting us know you’re having a party will keep us from citing you for litter/noise, but that is incorrect.

It’s Friday the 13th, which means we should review some basic personal safety tips: .-Always walk in groups if you can. -Avoid machete wielding deranged serial killers wearing hockey masks at all costs. -It’s always best to call 911 if you feel unsafe in a situation.

Right when you think you have seen it all. So an uptown establishment must be having a "Mossy Oak" or "Field & Stream" night. I have never seen so much camo influenced club attire. #WeCanStillcu

We are saddened to say that retired OPD K9 Cole passed away this week. Sgt. Ryan Sikora, is a true dog lover and treated Cole like a king. Cole was truly his partner on the job, as well as in retirement. Losing a K9 partner is tough. Keep Sgt. Sikora in your thoughts 💙

Don’t Forget to turn your clocks back at 2am to 1am ( or before you go to sleep). Fall Back an hour will give you an extra hour of sleep, studying, reading, Netflix, or some people will use it to “punish their liver” a little longer. #TimeChange

Contrary to what anyone believes, OPD doesn’t operate on quotas. If you’re given a ticket for a violation, it might be because. wait for it. you EARNED it. And flipping off the Officer as they pull up to your house party they could hear from 3 blocks away won’t help your case😉.

St. Patrick’s Day reminders:. -Alcohol laws still apply-even on this “holiday.” . -Telling the police officer “But, it’s St. Patty’s Day!” is not a defense for bad behavior. -Don’t pinch strangers who aren’t wearing green. -Don’t let your end-of-the-rainbow quest end in jail.

There are some small gestures we experience in our careers that we will never forget. We’re betting this gesture will be one that our Chief will always remember.
I was in uniform today and walking into Walmart when a lady I didn’t know stopped me. She gave me this pocket coin and said some nice words. Sadly I didn’t get her name but thanked her. It was such a kind gesture from a community member that will stick with me. 👮🏻♂️🇺🇸
