Our Past
The beginning of the Howland Police Department dates back to its creation in 1961. The township trustees authorized the creation of the department and hired several part-time constables to protect the citizens of Howland. These first officers laid the foundation for the future of the department.
Over the years the department has grown to it's current personnel roster of Chief and Assistant Chief, 17 officers, 1 part-time officer and 2 administrative assistants.
