PIERCE TOWNSHIP, Ohio — The Pierce Township Police Department is looking to voters to avoid a financial deficit and layoffs this November. The department has not seen a levy passed since 2007.

“That was supposed to last 10 years,” said Police Chief Paul Broxterman. “We’re well into our 18th year now because of being good financial stewards with the money.”

Broxterman said the department has been surviving on reserve and carryover funds from previous years since 2016. He says that with inflation, they now need money from a new levy.

“At this point, the carryover has dwindled to the point that we cannot continue to operate on that carryover,” said Broxterman.
