Lakeside Association Police Department

The Lakeside Association Police Department is a special security police formed at the beginning of the twentieth century to patrol and provide security for the private association and Chautauqua community of Lakeside, Ohio, United States. The two patrolman employed were invested with full police powers under the Ohio Revised Code 311.29(c)(d), 505.43.2, and were given authority to enforce chautauqua rules and regulations. In the 1950s the police force was dissolved and police protection was then the responsibility of the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office. A special division for Lakeside was formed for the Sheriff's Deputies assigned to the community. This division was later called the Lakeside Association Police Department. The department was headed by a Chief Deputy, and staffed by two Sheriff's Deputies and two non-sworn personnel employed by the Association who were titled Lakeside Security Guards.

Famous quotes containing the words association, police and/or department:

    It is not merely the likeness which is precious ... but the association and the sense of nearness involved in the thing ... the fact of the very shadow of the person lying there fixed forever! It is the very sanctification of portraits I think—and it is not at all monstrous in me to say ... that I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest Artist’s work ever produced.
    Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    I guess a career in the police didn’t really prepare you for this, did it?
    Bob Hunt (b. 1951)

    “Which is more important to you, your field or your children?” the department head asked. She replied, “That’s like asking me if I could walk better if you amputated my right leg or my left leg.”
    —Anonymous Parent. As quoted in Women and the Work Family Dilemma, by Deborah J. Swiss and Judith P. Walker, ch. 2 (1993)
