No Grinches at the Lakemore and Springfield Police Departments!!
There are no Grinches at the police departments. It has been a long-time tradition for police officers from the Village of Lakemore and Springfield Township to help families in the communities at Christmas time. The departments participate in Fill A Cruiser program which consists of officers collecting new toys, clothing, monetary donations, and nonperishable food items at two locations.
