MIAMI TOWNSHIP, Ohio — Residents near the 400 block of Wards Corner Road should expect to see a heavy police presence over the next several days as Miami Township police run an emergency preparedness training exercise, according to a notice shared by the Clermont County Engineer’s Office.
“Periodically, there will be an increased number of police vehicles and police officers present,” the notice said, adding that the training poses no threat to the public. The exercise is expected to run for about 10 days from its Oct. 15 start, meaning through roughly late October.
The notice did not specify the type of scenario officers will be training for, but agencies typically use multi-day emergency preparedness drills to rehearse coordinated responses among patrol officers, supervisors and outside agencies without disrupting day-to-day operations.
The Miami Township Police Department serves Miami Township, a Clermont County community of roughly 44,000 residents in the Loveland-Milford area. The department is led by Chief Robert Hirsch, who joined the department as a patrol officer in 2007 after serving as a military police canine handler in the U.S. Army and was named chief in 2024.
The Clermont County Engineer’s Office, which maintains roads throughout the county, frequently relays public safety notices from local police and fire agencies that could affect traffic or activity on county and township roads.
