In the State of the City address, the Presenter emphasized investments in public safety made in 2025 and plans to modernize city facilities.
"In 2025, we made significant investments in the Gahanna Division of Police," the Presenter said, noting radio upgrades, the hiring of five new officers and two communications technicians, and new leadership positions to expand oversight and operations. The Presenter described the division earning its first advanced accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA), saying the accreditation confirms the division meets national best practices.
The Presenter also described a forthcoming Gahanna Civic Center — a repurposed existing building that, once complete, would house City Hall, the Division of Police and the senior center — framed as a cost‑effective, sustainable solution to meet facility needs. The address did not provide detailed timelines for the civic center conversion or a line‑item funding breakdown.
The Presenter presented the staffing and accreditation items as steps to strengthen oversight, response capacity and community trust; the address did not include comments from police leadership or union representatives.
