Liberty Township has a contract with the Butler County Sheriff’s Department (BCSO) to provide police protection services to the residents of Liberty Township. A substation is located at 7162 Liberty Centre Drive, Suite A in Liberty Township.

As part of the contract, we have 1 Lieutenant, 4 Sergeants, 1 Corporal, 3 Detectives and 18 Deputies.

3. What are the capabilities of the substation?

The substation is not manned full-time by deputies. The deputies report for duty at this location and use it to complete paperwork. Their time is primarily spent on the streets in Liberty Township patrolling. If you need service and want a deputy to meet you at the substation, please call the Butler County Dispatch Center at 513-785-1300 before arriving to ensure a deputy will be present. The BCSO Liberty Substation does not keep / maintain copies of traffic / criminal reports at the substation. All Sheriff’s Office records are kept at the Butler County Sheriff’s Office located at 705 Hanover Street in Hamilton. In addition, the Substation does not perform fingerprinting or background checks – those requests must be made in-person at the Hamilton address, located at 705 Hanover Street.

4. How do we contact the BCSO, the substation, etcetera?

As always, if you have an emergency, dial 911. The non-emergency dispatch number should be called for all other inquiries or requests, 513-785-1300. There is also a new Butler County Emergency Information number that residents can call to get up-to-date information related to weather emergencies, traffic situations or other kinds of emergencies affecting Butler County, 513-785-5800.

5. What can residents do to assist in the community's police efforts?

The BCSO encourages residents to stress to friends / neighbors to not speed and to obey the traffic laws for the safety of the neighborhood. We are often called for extra patrolling in the subdivisions for traffic offenses and have found that the violators are mostly friends / neighbors in the neighborhood.

Please Remember: If you see something suspicious call the BCSO Dispatch at 513-785-1300 or 911 immediately, any delay is reporting a potential problem drastically reduces the solvability of crimes.
