Community Involvement

Neighborhood Safety

If you have an emergency, immediately call 911 or 216-621-1234

Our Community Safety staff works to increase awareness of safety issues and improve communication between the police, residents, and businesses in our community. We support opportunities to increase resident participation in addressing safety concerns, provide outreach and technical assistance to businesses and develop comprehensive plans for safety related issues.

If you have a safety concern or request, contact Adam Gifford at agifford@metrowestcle.org
