No parent, guardian or other adult person having the care and custody of a minor shall knowingly permit such minor to be upon or in the public streets, parks, buildings or establishments or upon or in public places, open lands or vacant lots within the city of Montgomery between the hours of 12:01 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. of the same day. Violations of this Ordinance shall be punished as a minor misdemeanor.
Crime Reports (Non-Emergency): Non-emergency crimes may be reported to the Montgomery Police Department by requesting an officer to respond to your Montgomery residence. For non-emergency calls, please call Montgomery Police Department at 985-1600 during regular business hours. All emergencies should call 911.
Lost Pet: Losing a pet is a heartbreaking ordeal. Montgomery’s Police Department offers a service that could prove to be a lifesaver when a resident loses a pet or finds one. Simply call the Police Department at 985-1600 to add the pet to a log of lost and found animals. When calling, please provide a detailed description of the pet, including size, color, breed, sex, description of collar, and where the pet was lost or found. Since there are not adequate facilities to house a found animal for a long time period, a resident finding a pet can provide a valuable service by fostering the pet until the owner can be located. Pets brought to the Safety Center can only be held for a short time after which the Hamilton County SPCA (541-6100) is notified for pickup. To aid in reunification, pet owners are urged to keep a collar with personalized owner information.
Loud Stereos in Vehicles: No owner or operator of a motor vehicle shall play, or permit to be played, any sound generating or sound amplifying device at such a level or volume that the sound can be heard by a person of reasonable sensibilities at a distance of 100 feet or more. The words or phrases need not be discernible and the vehicle may be at any location either stopped or moving. To report a violation, call the Montgomery Police Department at 985-1600.
Noise: No person shall generate or permit to be generated unreasonable noise or loud sounds that are likely to cause inconvenience or annoyance to persons of ordinary sensibilities by reason of a sound amplifying device, or by the operation of any tools, machinery or equipment. For more information or to report a violation, call the Montgomery Police Department at 985-1600.
Registered sex offenders: Information regarding registered sex offenders living in Hamilton County can be found be on the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department website.
Solicitations: A permit is required to conduct door-to-door solicitations in the City of Montgomery. To inquire how to obtain a permit or to check to see if a solicitor has obtained a permit, call the Montgomery Police Department at 985-1600. “No Solicitors” signs are available upon request at the Montgomery Police Department.
Underage Drinking: If my child has a party at my home and alcohol is served, can I get in trouble? Yes. It is unlawful for anyone under the age of 21 years to possess alcoholic beverages in the State of Ohio. This law applies on private property unless the beverage is provided to the under age person by their parent or legal guardian. If your child serves, or allows alcoholic beverages to be served to anyone under age 21 they are opening a “Pandora’s box” of trouble that ultimately you, as the home owner, will be held responsible. The homeowner can be held criminally and civilly responsible whether you are home or not at the time of the offense.
Unlicensed or Non-Roadworthy Vehicles: The Montgomery Code of Ordinances requires that vehicles stored outdoors on private property be roadworthy and licensed at all times.
