1. How do I go about getting a copy of a police report?

Stop in at the police station at 117 Willard Memorial Square, anytime Monday through Friday between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm to pick up a copy, or fax in your request to (440) 647-3641. Please allow at least 24 hours after the report was taken for it to be released. Reports that are currently being investigated will not be released.

2. I locked my keys in my car, can you unlock my car?

No. You will have to contact either a towing company of your choice, a locksmith or a car dealer. As anti-theft devices have become more sophisticated the department cannot unlock vehicles due to damage liability.

3. My neighbor’s dog is constantly barking and/or running loose. Is there anything I can do?

Yes. The Village of Wellington does have a barking dog ordinance as well as a leash law. Call us at (440) 647-2244 and we will respond to your complaint.

4. Can I leave my car parked downtown overnight?

No. There is no parking on downtown streets between the hours of 3:00 am to 5:00 am. Also, there is a 2 hour parking limit downtown. There are two Village off-street parking lots that are marked with 24 hour parking areas that may be used overnight. One of these lots is located behind the Town Hall, the other is located on the south side of West Herrick and Prospect Street beside the railroad tracks

5. Can the Police Department do fingerprinting?

Yes, call (440) 647-2244 for more information.

6. I have lost my dog, can the Village help me find it?

If a police officer comes upon a dog running free, they are often times captured to prevent injury to the animal and minimize dangers to motorists and the public. If you dog has a valid dog license or rabies tag, we attempt to get in contact with you while your dog is kept at a temporary kennel at the Town Hall. We can only hold a dog for a few days until we transport them to the Dog Warden. If your dog is missing, an inquiry at the Police Department Dispatch office may be a way to reunite your pet and family.

7. It snowed last night. Should I call the police department to see if school was cancelled?

No. The local school districts do not call to inform us of school closings. You can find that information through television, radio or even the School District's website.
