Lodi Police Department

Lodi, a village in Medina County, Ohio, keeps a small police department of full-time and part-time officers that covers the village 24 hours a day, and all of its officers are trained and certified through the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy. Working under the motto "Courtesy, Service, and Courage," officers spend most of each shift on assigned details: answering calls, enforcing traffic law, testifying in court, taking prisoners to and from court, serving warrants and archiving lapel camera video. Building checks come next. Businesses and industrial sites are checked mostly after closing time, and homes are looked over during routine patrols. Traffic enforcement ranks third among the department's activities. The calls officers handle most often involve property crime such as theft, burglary and vandalism, followed closely by domestic disputes and drug cases, and officers also answer reports of loose or barking dogs, noise, suspicious people or vehicles and quarrels between neighbors. Residents bring questions to the station in person and by phone. A written process and form are available for complaints about a Lodi police employee. In 2025, Medina Police Department K9 Tango assisted Lodi officers.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau (ACS 2023), Lodi village, OH has an estimated population of 2,757.
