From My Desk to Your Inbox
As we move into March, we look forward to Daylights Savings time, St. Patrick’s Day, March Madness, and the first day of Spring. For most homeowners, Spring also includes spring “clean-up” projects in and outside our homes. As a reminder, you may place yard waste in your 96-gallon refuse cart, and any excess should be placed in 30-gallon bags. Bulk items such as large appliances, furniture, and carpet can be set out on your regular collection day. Mattresses must be wrapped and sealed in plastic. We can all do our part to keep Mayfield Heights looking great, like the vibrant city it is.
We are in the process of renovating the Police Department lobby and dispatch center. The project should be completed in a couple of weeks. The dispatch center was outfitted with new equipment and space, allowing for improved and more efficient communication.
I drive past the Aquatic and Community Center every day. Each time I am amazed at the progress. Multiple tradesmen are on-site daily, all with the same purpose of building this magnificent center. Framing for the community center and gymnasium has been completed, and interior framing will begin soon. It is amazing to see the progressive transformation. Check out the website and read Sean Ward’s blog to keep informed with project updates.
Enjoy the month of March!

Citizen's Police Academy
The Citizen Police Academy is a look into the philosophy and operations of the Mayfield Heights Police Department. Designed for Citizens of Mayfield Heights, the Academy educates citizens about the “hows” and “whys” of the agency and law enforcement in general and the citizen’s role in the community-oriented policing philosophy. A wide variety of topics are included in the Academy. We cover topics such as Patrol, Criminal Investigations, Traffic Accidents, SWAT, NARC, Bomb Squad, Hostage Negotiators, Bureau of Criminal Investigations, Mock Court, Airsoft Range, and much more!
Various members of MHPD will serve as instructors. If you are 21 years of age or older, a Mayfield Heights resident or employed in the City of Mayfield Heights, and are able to commit to attending the eight (8) week course, don't miss out on signing up for the Citizen's Police Academy. Although the 2023 Academy is full, we are taking applications for the 2024 Academy here.
