Lebanon Police Frequently Asked Questions Find answers to the most frequently asked questions by clicking on the links below.
When the disaster sirens are activated, should I call the police department for information? NO. Listen to your radio or television weather reports for current information. The police department obtains our weather information from these and other sources. Also, when citizens call the police department this ties up our telephone lines for emergency services due to the storm. This can cause delays in response by the police, fire and E.M.S. DO NOT call 9-1-1 for storm information or to report a non-emergency incident. Remember, during a severe storm the dispatchers are very busy with emergency calls for police, fire and Paramedics. If you need to report a non-emergency incident to the police department, call 513-932-2010. The tornado siren is tested on the first Wednesday of each month at 12:00 noon. When I call the 9-1-1 telephone number for emergency assistance, who answers the telephone? Dispatchers at the Lebanon Police Department answer the 9-1-1 telephone. Once the dispatcher classifies the call, the police, fire or Paramedic is dispatched. How can I assist the police and fire departments in locating my residence quickly? Display your address in a location easily observed from the street. An address displayed near by front door and near a light makes it easier for the responding personnel to locate the address during the day and night. Where do I go to pay a traffic fine? Traffic fines that are for the Lebanon Municipal Court may be paid at the court located at 50 S. Broadway (City Building) on the second floor between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Fines may also be paid at the Lebanon Police Department, 25 West Silver Street twenty-four hours a day. Fines may be paid by cash or check with appropriate identification. The court and the police department can both tell you the amount of the fine by calling 513-932-7210 (court) or 513-932-2010 (police). Does the police department have information about school closings during inclement weather? No. The police department does not make the decision concerning a school closing, and the superintendent does not advise us when such an event occurs. We suggest you listen to a local radio or television station or call the school in question. Can the police department provide me with information about road conditions during inclement weather? The Lebanon Police Department will be happy to provide road conditions for the City of Lebanon. However, we are unable to provide road conditions for any streets outside the city limits. Should my electricity, telephone, or cable go out after all City offices are closed, who do I call for repairs? After normal business hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. weekdays) and on the weekends, the police department will call out any Lebanon utility for repairs. Unfortunately the police department cannot tell you the problem or when it will be corrected.
What do I do in case of an automobile accident? Ohio law requires all drivers to stop immediately after an accident and exchange information with the other party (s). The following is the information that you should exchange with the other party(s):
If you wish an accident report, call the police. If the vehicles are drivable, move the cars off the roadway to prevent the occurrence of another accident. Can I have fingerprints made at the Lebanon Police Department? Yes. The police department provides fingerprinting and WebCheck. WebCheck is an internet-based program for conducting fingerprint-based civilian background checks. This program reduces the return time of civilian background checks to as little as several hours when no criminal history record exists. In 1993, the Ohio General Assembly passed numerous state laws requiring background checks for certain occupations including individuals who work with children, those who work with the elderly, certain licensed professionals and persons working in the financial industry. New legislation outlining background check requirements has continued to pass since this time and the number of background checks increases annually. These services are provided between 9:00 a.m. and 12 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday. Fees: WebCheck: $35 cash only accepted (Ohio only checks provided). A photo ID or driver's license is required. Must provide exact address for WebCheck results to be mailed. Please be aware that the results may take up to 30 days or more to be mailed from the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation. Ink Rolled Fingerprints: $5 cash only How do I file charges against someone? The Lebanon City Prosecutor determines whether or not criminal charge should be filed. The Lebanon City Prosecutor is at the Lebanon Municipal Court on Mondays and Thursdays between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. You will need to complete the Private Complaint Report form and bring it to court.
