Law Enforcement Week

Along with communities across the nation, the Van Wert County commissioners recognized local law enforcement officers during National Police Week (May 10-16). The commissioners thanked representatives from the Van Wert County Sheriff’s Office and Van Wert City Police Department for putting their lives on the line on a daily basis to protect the public.
