Since 1837 and the creation of the Hook and Ladder Company, concerned citizens who voluntarilycommitted to preserve the safety and protection of all, Cuyahoga Falls has been blessed with the very

best firefighter leadership. By 1888, the Cuyahoga Falls Village Council recognized the departmentscritical importance within the community and officially organized a volunteer Cuyahoga Falls FireDepartment (CFFD) then staffed by a chief, two captains and twenty call men.

In 1927, the CFFD moved from the basement of City Hall, which at that time was located at Front Streetand Broad Boulevard, to the Departments very first fire station, Fire Station 1 at 1924 Front Street. Bythen the CFFD had established a staff consisting of both paid members and volunteers. By 1932 thedepartment had become fully staffed by paid members.

Rapid growth of the community fromthe 1930s and 1940s through theearly Twenty-First Century has required

expansion of CFFD services and theconstruction of 4 additional FireStations. Today, the Cuyahoga Fallscommunity can continue to rely uponthe CFFD to provide the highest level ofexpertise and response for every typeof emergency. Emergency Medical Services alongside superbly trained Special Rescue Operations Teamssupport our most truly advanced safety and rescue forces.

Little known are the manyfunctions and operations

that the CFFD has per-formed for the communityin addition to providingtop-notch safety, firefighter

and rescue services. Since the very earli-est days of the department, CFFD staff hasanswered many community needs inways that have either been forgotten orperhaps taken for granted. Educationalservices for citizens of ages, childrens programming, as well as charitable assistance programs have all played valuableroles within the ongoing CFFD community legacy. The past, present and future of the community have been linked,

strengthened by the Cuyahoga Falls Fire Departments initiatives. Among the extraordinaryservices that have been provided for the community are the Christmas Toy RepairProgram of the 1930s, civic and holiday celebrations and support, CPR/AED trainingas well as year-round and seasonal educational programming, just to name a few.

Historical records show that law enforcement in Cuyahoga Falls began in1836 with a Town Marshal system. That year, Sherman Peck was appointed as the

first Town Marshal. Officially elected to serve as Town Marshal in 1837, Peckdepended on volunteers, as did all early law enforcement officials, to assist in theperformance of law enforcement duties.

Through the early years of the community, the dedication of all CuyahogaFalls Town Marshals including Marshal Ira Goldwood who was killed in the lineof duty in 1906 after serving several terms, and Marshal William Sanderson who

served from 1916 - 1922, helped build a strong foundation for the future of effective community law enforcement.

Cuyahoga Falls made the transition from a Town Marshal system to a full-fledged Police Department in 1922. The firstChief of Police was Russell Duffy who served the community from 1922 until 1946. By 1938, Chief Duffy had developeda 10-man police force.

Police Chief Menzo Preston served from 1946-1964. During his tenure, the department grew to a force of 47 full time patrolmen and over 50reserve civilian defense officers. Following Preston, Chief Donald Brown led the department from 1964-1979. In 1973, under the leadership ofChief Brown, the departments first female police officers were hired.

The fourth Chief in the history of the Cuyahoga Falls Police Department was Chief Gene Fawley.Chief Fawley served the department from 1979- 1982. He was followed by Charles Elum, who served

as Police Chief from 1982 - 1986. Elum was Chief when the City of Cuyahoga Falls merged with Northampton Township. The merger added 10township officers to the Cuyahoga Falls Police Force. Donald Smith then served as Police Chief from 1986-1999. Under Chief Smiths leadership,the Police Department expanded its headquarters to better serve community needs, and launched the departments community policing initiative.

Chief Louis Dirker, Jr. served from 1999 until January 2001. He further developed the departments community policing initiative by expandingCuyahoga Falls law enforcement staffing and services. Upon Chief Dirkers retirement, Gordon L. Tomlinson became Chief. Chief Tomlinson,who served until December 2002, focused on further strengthening the department through advanced officer training and technology support.

Chief John Conley became the 9th Chief of Police on May 2nd, 2003 and retired with 25 years of service to the City of Cuyahoga Falls on January10th, 2011. The next day, Thomas Pozza was sworn in as the Cuyahoga Falls Police Departments 10th Chief of Police. Chief Pozza, a lifelong

resident of Cuyahoga Falls, has brought over 30 years of law enforce-ment expertise to the position. Chief Pozza is committed to buildingupon the CFPD mission of quality, integrity and professionalism.

The Buildings and Grounds Maintenance Division is dedicated to thecare of municipal facility and public grounds which includes four of the

communitys cemeteries.

Botzum Cemetery, a small cemetery located at Bath and Yellow Creek Roadswas established in the 1700s.

Harrington Cemetery on State Road and Northampton Cemetery on BathRoad, both founded in the 1800s, are burial sites for a number of early

founders and settlers.

Oakwood Cemetery, established in1834, is where members of many ofCuyahoga Falls founding families have been buried. Among the founding families with members buried at

Oakwood Cemetery are the Newberry, Sill and Wetmore families.

Some history:When the first New England migrants settled in what became Cuyahoga Falls, their dead were buried firstin the yard of a district school. When Oakwood Cemetery was laid out in 1834, the bodies were disinterredand transferred to the cemetery.

In 1888, the Ladies Cemetery Association (LCA) was founded as a way to assist with grounds maintenanceand beautification of Oakwood Cemetery. The LCA was responsible for the construction of the nowhistoric Chapel that was built in 1898. The LCA is one of the oldest organizations in the city and isstill an active group today.

An even older building exists in Oakwood Cemetery. Once used as the Cemetery office, this small building,built in 1880, was originally used as a receiving vault to store bodies during harsh winter periods. In1944 the building was remodeled to serve as the office of the Cemetery Superintendent.

Today, office operations are conducted through theBuildings and Grounds Maintenance Departmentlocated in City Hall. For information on gravesiteavailability or any cemetery operations, please callthe City of Cuyahoga Falls Cemetery Info Line at330-971-8446.

Cuyahoga Falls enjoys all the benefits of an extraordinary community resource, the Cuyahoga Falls WaterUtilities Division, to meet the daily water needs of thousands of citizens and businesses. The present day

Water Treatment Plant located on Munroe Falls Avenue was initially placed into full operation in 1921 withfive wells. Today, 18 wells supply millions of gallons of water daily for residents and businesses in CuyahogaFalls, Silver Lake, Munroe Falls, and parts of Stow.

For generations, Cuyahoga Falls has grown and developed along the beautiful, very powerful Cuyahoga River,also known as the Crooked River. A generous supply of water for every day needs is provided by a system ofwells that is located near the river. The wellhead area is actually part of a buried valley where permeableoutwash gravels are crossed by major streams. The Cuyahoga River provides flow to the aquifer and the well

field is recharged by meansof channels and lagoons.

An intricate yet resilient ecosystem

composed of hundreds of animal andplant species, the Cuyahoga River andits tributaries have ensured the healthand vigor of area culture and civiliza-tion for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.

The City ITS Division today manages the expertise and operations of all municipal communications. Presentand future technological needs of the community require synchronized management that can efficiently and

continuously monitor quality of performance and response of traffic and safety force equipment, as well as ofthe detailed components comprising municipal communication and Internet services.

In years past, municipal communication functions were split among several departments. The CommunicationsDivision of the Police Department, which installed and maintained radio equipment in the 1950s, evolved intothe Technical Service Department in the 1960s and by then had also begun managing traffic signals amongother types of technical devices. Data Processing, a separate data collection and distribution system, adoptedstate-of-the-art computer technologies and later became Information Services.

Most recently, all TechService functions ofradio, traffic and wire-

line communication,including fiber opticsystems encompassing

telephone, SCADA and other signaling operations,have merged with Information Services to mostefficiently leverage electronic communicationtechnologies under the ITS umbrella.

The Cuyahoga Falls Light Department, established in 1888, was one of the first electric systems in northern Ohio. Power was initiallygenerated at the Water Street Substation for carbon arc streetlights. To keep up with a growing communitys needs, in 1915, Cuyahoga

Falls began purchasing power generated by the Northern Ohio Traction & Light Company which became Ohio Edison in 1931.

The communitys rapid growth spurred departmentservice expansions and the construction of new sub-stations beginning in the 1950s and continuing today.The Light Department officially became the Cuyahoga Falls Electric System (CFES) in 1955, and a newservice building was constructed in 1959 on Bailey Road where the CFES is currently headquartered.

Assuring that the community had reliable sources of cost-effective electric power required strong lead-ership. Partnering with 19 Ohio communities, Cuyahoga Falls was a founding member of the WholesaleCustomers of Ohio Edison (WCOE) in 1964. In 1971, the WCOE joined American Municipal Power Ohio (AMPO). AMPO membership expanded to include municipal members from 6 states and became

American Municipal Power, Inc.(AMP), a nonprofit leader in wholesale power supply for municipalelectric systems.

The strength of AMP through adiverse membership has led to thedevelopment of state-of-the-art, reli-able and economically sustainable

electric generation. Cuyahoga Falls, the fourth largest AMPmunicipal member, is committed to the development ofpower generation through a variety of clean energy sourcessuch as hydroelectric, wind, and landfill gas alongsideinnovative, best available technologies today.

For a copy of the complete history of the CFES, please con-tact the Cuyahoga Falls Electric System at 330.971.8060.

ovember 2012

In the early days of the community, incineration was the primary method of managingmunicipal trash. The needs to control costs and to reduce negative environmental impact

inspired Cuyahoga Falls leaders to develop a municipal solid waste management divisionthat has been a model for many communities around the state for decades.

By 1991, the Division of Sanitationhad expanded operations toinclude collections of all residen-tial refuse, recyclables, and yard wastes. The recent adoption ofautomated refuse and recycle col-lections has proven to be a mostcost effective and environmentallysound municipal solid waste man-agement methodology for theCuyahoga Falls community.

In 2012, the Cuyahoga Falls Sani-tation Division will complete implementation of citywide automated collections program. Through ongoingrecycling and litter prevention education and outreach, waste reduction, and cost-effective operations, theSanitation Division is poised for the Cuyahoga Falls of the future.

Street DivisionTop priority of the Cuyahoga Falls Street Division has been to keep our streets clean, safe and in excellent con-

dition. To effectively and efficiently manage the growing network of community roads and sidewalks, the StreetDivision has engaged technologies and products that improve service while controlling costs and protecting thehealth of the environment.

A prime example of a modern-day efficient and cost-effective technology that has benefited the community fornearly a decade is the Epoke salt spreader truck equipment. Because Epoke units are more efficient at spreadingsalt where it is needed, salt usage has been cut in half. With less salt on the ground, costly impact on our soils andwaterways has been also been decreased.

Extreme weather conditions playa significant role in sustaining

the quality of our transportationroutes from roads and highwaysto pedestrian needs. Our StreetDivision has prepared its fleetand operations for seasonaldemands as well as for theexpected increases in specialoperations and functions.
