Wellington seeks year round sheriff substation in Lorain County
Wellington officials urge county commissioners to keep a Sheriff's Department sub station open year round after it opened in August at the fairgrounds. The site could become permanent in southern Lorain County depending on a departmental report and federal grant funding. Deputy Jim Drozdowski says response times to Rochester Camden and Huntington townships improved by up to 50 percent and officers’ high visibility helps deter crime. The unit operates 5 to 8 p.m. at the fairgrounds with other hours spent at the sheriff office in Elyria. A storefront site or other location may be considered.
