The Brimfield Police Department has taken numerous reports from residents who have been solicited by individuals who claim they are agents of the Brimfield Police Department. These solicitations have been by phone and have been delivered in various ways, from selling tickets to juvenile activities to asking for donations to be left taped to the resident's door.

The Brimfield Police Department does not use any form of telephone solicitation and has no affiliation with theses calls. DO NOT leave any money for these individuals, or but any items from them. If you receive any suspicious calls, or have any concerns about a call you have received on our behalf, please contact the Brimfield Police Department at (330) 677-1234.

The Brimfield Police and Fire Departments are closely monitoring the Swine Flu situation. The police and fire Chiefs are in regular contact with both local and state health officials. If urgent information is obtained, such information will be passed on to the residents by the use of the Code Red System.

The Brimfield Township Trustees recently signed an agreement with Code Red Emergency Alert System to provide a high-speed telephone emergency alerting system for township residents and businesses. The Code Red system allows us to telephone all or targeted areas of the Township in case of an emergency situation that requires immediate action. The system is capable of dialing 50,000 phone numbers per hour. It then delivers our recorded message to a live person or an answering machine, making three attempts to connect to any number.

Code Red maintains a web page for each community served that allows residents and businesses to directly add their telephone number as well as a secondary cell-phone number and TDD/TTY requirements. To ensure that your telephone number is in our data base, click on the Code Red link located on this page.

The residents of Brimfield also have the option to sign up for the Code Red Weather Warning. This service is available to Brimfield Township residents at no cost. Code Red Weather Warning is linked to the National Weather Service and will deliver severe weather warnings to residents and businesses in the projected path of severe weather. This service is optional and you must sign up to receive these warnings. Click on the Code Red link located on this page and look for Code Red Weather Warning.
