Litter Agreements
Deputies inspect all areas of the county for illegal dumping. They investigate and prosecute those persons responsible. They check for trash trucks with loads not tarped and issue citations. They also check to make certain that trucks are not depositing mud on the roads from the landfills.

The Stark County Sheriff's Office applied for a Federal Sub Grant through the Ohio Department of Criminal Justice Services to further investigate incidents of domestic violence. The grant was approved and deputies were trained and assigned to this position. The deputies collaborate with prosecutors, victim services, court personnel, probation, judicial, parole officers, social services personnel, children services and adult protective in this assignment.
