Safety Programs
Background Record Checks
From time to time we have inquiries to perform a criminal records check on individuals. Our agency can only release information on incidents that occurred here in the City limits of Montgomery. We can do a local records check, however, if you are needing arrest information that occurred in a neighboring city, county or state, you must have those done at the Hamilton County Justice Center, 1000 Sycamore St., Cincinnati, Ohio. They are the ONLY agency in Hamilton County that can perform a criminal history records check for other agencies.
Bicycle Safety Program
The Montgomery Police Department’s Bicycle Patrol Unit offers free bike safety classes to any group or individual within the city. These classes, taught by a certified police cyclist, are very interactive with participants requested to bring their bicycles and helmets. Class instruction includes proper fitting of helmets, sizing of bicycles and “rules of the road”. To schedule a class call the Montgomery Police Department at (513) 985-1600.

The Police Department will register any resident’s bicycle free of charge. In the event your bicycle is lost or stolen the Montgomery Police will have the serial number on file. To register your bicycle please bring it to the Safety Center at 10150 Montgomery Road.
Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Training

Students are taught to recognize and resist the many direct and subtle pressures that influence them to experiment with alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, inhalant, or other drugs or to engage in violence.
Fingerprinting
Montgomery Police provides fingerprinting service for those needing the “ink” prints for certain licenses or employers. The party that is requesting you to be fingerprinted MUST provide you with the cards. These are not stocked at our location. Please bring your cards and a photo ID on Monday’s ONLY from 4:00 p.m to 6:00 p.m. to the Safety Center at 10150 Montgomery Rd. This service is provided for Montgomery Residents and for those that work in the City of Montgomery FREE of charge. The Hamilton County Justice Center at 1000 Sycamore St., Room 110, Cincinnati, Ohio also provides fingerprinting services for a fee 24 hours/7 days a week and can be reached at 946-6221.
For those that need scanned prints via WebCheck for BCI or the FBI, the closest location is at the Montgomery License Bureau in the Montgomery Square Shopping Center. Dates, times and fees are subject to change so please call ahead for updated information 891-2284. For other WebCheck locations, go to www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/services/business/webcheck .
Fire Extinguisher Training
The fire department offers a fire extinguisher training program to local businesses and employers. The class consists of a training video on the different stages of fire and the different types and classes of extinguishers. This is followed by personal instruction coupled with hands-on training. A small flammable liquid fire is extinguished by each participant at the conclusion of the class.
Fire Inspections
The Montgomery Fire Department inspects all commercial buildings annually and residential buildings upon request. These inspectors identify potential life safety hazards. For more information, call the Montgomery Fire Department at 985-1633.
Infant Car Seat Inspections
This free inspection of your infant car seat installation will help to insure the safety of your child should you be involved in an accident. This program is designed to evaluate the car seat you are using and to verify its correct installation. We don’t install it for you, rather we teach you to correctly install it yourself so you can remove and reinstall it without worry.
The training necessary to fully understand all the various car seats manufactured and the correct way to install them in different vehicles limits the number of fire personnel that are certified to do this for our community. Appointments are necessary and should be made as far in advance as possible. For more information, contact the Fire Department at 985-1633.
HomeSAFE Checks
The Police and Fire Departments inspect all commercial buildings annually and residential buildings upon request to provide helpful hints on making your home as safe as possible. Call the Safety Center at (513) 985-1600 to schedule a HomeSAFE check.
Home Vacation Check
The last thing you should have to worry about while on vacation is the security of your home. The officers of the Montgomery Police Department are happy to keep an extra eye on your home while you’re away. Patrol officers will have this information in the event of an emergency and will physically check the security of your residence, making sure all doors and windows are locked. To register for a vacation home watch, call the Montgomery Police Department at (513) 985-1600 or register online.
Reflective Address Signs
Meet the Firefighter
Meet the firefighter is a preschool program we use to introduce young children to firefighters. It was found that when we were outfitted in all of our protective gear, we were intimidating to most children. If confronted by us in an emergency, these children were apt to run and hide from us making rescue more difficult. We have the children meet us dressed like everyone else, and then we put on our gear piece-by-piece in front of them and encourage them to touch our air bottle, gloves, coat, etc. They learn to come to us in an emergency rather than hiding. These programs are normally presented at day care and pre-school centers, but any organized gathering of children in this age group may be considered. Please contact us at (513) 985-1633 for additional information.
Neighborhood Watch
The City of Montgomery Neighborhood Watch Program is a crime prevention tool, which enlists the active participation of citizens in cooperation with the Montgomery Police Department, and the Ohio Crime Prevention Association to reduce crime in the city. Networks of neighbors are trained by crime prevention officers regarding how to protect themselves and their property, as well as how to serve effectively as additional eyes and ears for law enforcement. If you are interested in becoming involved with this important program, please call the Montgomery Police Department at (513) 985-1600.
Safety Village
Safety Village is a one-week, summer safety camp for children entering Kindergarten or First Grade. Children learn about various aspects of child safety. Children will learn to make wise decisions in potentially dangerous situations, as well as how to handle emergencies they may encounter. Students will also learn basic rules of pedestrian and traffic safety, in addition to fire, personal, animal, water and school bus safety.
Speaker Requests
Officers of the Montgomery Police Department have training and experience in all areas of law enforcement. Our officers are often called upon to speak on issues related to their expertise. Speakers are available to address a wide range of issues, including but not limited to: Crime prevention, personal safety and current issues affecting the community and law enforcement. Arrangements for speakers can be made by contacting the Police Department at (513) 985-1600.
Third Grade Safety Belt Program
The Third Grade Safety Belt Program is offered by the Ohio Department of Public Safety through the Montgomery Police Department. Third grade students in the Sycamore School District are sworn in as Safety Belt Deputies. These third graders are earning their badges by learning the importance of wearing safety belts through direct contact with a Montgomery Police Officer. This classroom program consists of a 30-minute lesson consisting of the importance of safety belt use.
Tours
The Safety Center belongs to you, the citizens of Montgomery. Every week we have groups coming through the safety center to tour the police and fire departments. Every day we have parents and children stopping to “inspect” their favorite fire truck. If you would like a tour, please call 985-1600.
