Huron Township Police Department policy does not allow for officers, reserve officers, and dispatch staff to wear beards while in uniform. However, if you see a Huron Township Police Officer sporting a beard over the next few months, they are not breaking the rules. The Police Department has decided to participate in No Shave November to support our annual Shop with a Hero Program. Each Officer will donate money to the event to allow the opportunity to grow a beard this holiday season. Officers will be allowed to begin wearing beards on October 1st, 2020.
To make this even better, we want to get our residents involved. On the evening of our Shop with a Hero event, we will have a best beard contest. The best beard contest will be judged by residents on our Facebook page. The winning beard (Officer) will once again win a free night off from work to be worked by Director of Public Safety Everette Robbins.
Unfortunately, due to safety standards relating to the use of equipment, our firefighters cannot participate by growing facial hair. However, we do not want to leave them out of this since they are a crucial part of our Shop with a hero event. So, we are offering the residents the opportunity to “adopt a firefighter” for this event. For a donation of $50 towards our Shop with a Hero event, a resident can grow a beard and support the fire department. At the Shop with a Hero event, we will have a separate beard contest for those that adopted a firefighter. The contest will be judged by members of our fire staff. The winner of this contest will receive their choice of a ride to work, as local as possible, or their child to be taken to school in a fire truck. Those interested in adopting a firefighter can drop their payment off at the Huron Township Police Department in care of Director Robbins or donate to our Go Fund Me page that supports the Shop with a Hero Program. Please be sure to note on the Go Fund Me page that your donation is towards the “adopt a firefighter” program. The Go Fund Me page will become active on November 1st, 2020.
Last year, No Shave November raised more than $1800 towards the Shop with a Hero Program.
“I think this is a fun way for our departments and the residents to come together for a great cause. Our Shop with a Hero Program is special because it is funded by the big hearts in our community. What better reason to come together than making the Christmas season special for some deserving children? No kid should ever wake up without a Christmas,” said Everette Robbins, director of public safety. “Our public safety staff approach me on a regular basis and ask how they can get more involved with and help our community. This is a great way to bring everyone together. They have a tough job some days and it is fun to see them come together and have a little fun for a good cause.”
Raymond Foster, 69, went missing from the 19600 block of Middlebelt Road in Huron Township. He was last seen after leaving his home walking to the store at King and Middlebelt Roads.

Dash cam footage from an Aug. 25 police pursuit in Huron Township shows the moment after the driver crashed into a tree and then fled from police on foot. You can view the full dash cam footage below.
A 23-year-old Toledo man is facing felony charges after he fled from Huron Township police, resulting in a crash and police recovering a loaded handgun from the scene.
On Aug. 25 at 3:18 p.m., an officer assigned to the police department’s Traffic Services Unit attempted to pull over Calvin Marlowe Ware as he was headed north on I-275 near Sibley Road.
Police said Ware was going 85 mph in a 70 mph zone.
The vehicle, with three people inside, did not stop after police activated the patrol vehicle’s emergency lights and sirens.
Police dash cam footage released by Huron Township Police shows what happened next.
The vehicle headed eastbound on Sibley Road and then southbound on Wahrman Road.
The driver opened the door of the vehicle in what appeared to be an initial attempt to flee on foot.
The driver then turned around in the front yard of a house on Wahrman Road before again heading southbound on Wahrman.
A few moments later, the driver crashed into a tree near a ditch.
During the crash, the driver was ejected from the vehicle into a ditch, and then fled the scene northbound on foot.
The responding officer immediately took the two other people into custody.
Multiple Huron Township marked and unmarked units responded and setup a perimeter in the area with assistance from the Metroparks Police Department.
The perimeter was held for several hours while the search for the driver continued.
The Huron Township Police Department K9 Unit responded and initiated a search within five minutes following the vehicle crash.
While the K9 was tracking the suspect, it also located narcotics near the location where the suspect entered a wooded area.
During the search, police used a drone equipped with infrared night and day vision cameras. The infrared cameras can detect heat signatures within the wooded area.
At 6:05 p.m., a resident on the southern end of Wahrman Road observed the suspect exit the wooded area on his property.
The resident contacted 911 and officers who were still maintaining a perimeter took the suspect into custody without incident.
Evidence technicians located a loaded handgun in the ditch near the driver’s side door where the suspect was thrown from the vehicle.
The handgun was listed as stolen out of Perrysburg, Ohio.
Ware is charged with carrying a concealed weapon and fleeing from police, both five-year felonies.
He is also charged with misdemeanor driving with a revoked license and habitual offender charges.

“A passenger within the vehicle advised us during the investigation that immediately upon the officer attempting to stop the vehicle, the suspect was observed to pull the handgun from his waistband area. We believe the crash ejected both the suspect, as well as the weapon from the vehicle. I hate to think of the ways this scenario could have played out had that not happened,” said Everette Robbins, director of public safety. “Our staff remained persistent and maintained the perimeter for several hours while continuing to search. I believe this ultimately cornered the suspect, forced him northward and ultimately out of the woods where he was taken into custody.”

Robbins said the department has added several resources over the past few years that assist them during incidents like these.
“As a Public Safety Organization, we have worked extremely hard over the past few years to train our staff to provide crucial services to our community such as K9, Evidence Technician, and Detective services. Within the past few months, we have also established our drone unit. This case certainly shows the importance of our traffic services unit and the need for professional proactive policing methods,” he said.
Robbins said the emergency dispatch center played a crucial role in helping locate the suspect.
“Our Emergency Dispatch Center was without doubt the unsung hero throughout this incident. I say without hesitation that their performance is a key reason that not only this suspect was taken into custody, but more importantly why this incident ended safely for everyone involved. I thank them for their efforts.”
Including the dash cam footage for the public to see was important, he said, because it shows how quickly things can happen during a pursuit.
“I included the dashcam video of the initial pursuit so that our community can see firsthand not only the professional and quick police response, but also as a lesson as to how quickly a situation like this can become dangerous. This began as a routine traffic stop for speed, but as you can see, nothing is ever routine.”
Huron Township Police say a man is in custody after a police pursuit ended in a crash and foot chase on Wahrman Road Tuesday afternoon.
Huron Township Public Safety updated the community on their Facebook page.
The post reads:
