The Orwell Police Department was formed in 1954.
At that time, the department was comprised
of four part-time officers.
When an officer was not on duty, calls were answered by the
Ashtabula County
Sheriff's Department.

-
The department remained part-time until the late
1970's. Full-time officers were hired at that
time to handle the increasing
load of patrol work and investigations.
-
-
Today, the department is a full-time agency with
part-time and auxiliary officers supplementing
the full time staff. The
department also has a Police Chaplain program.
Modern policing tools,
including computerized records, in-car video systems, etc., are used to provide services to the
residents
of Orwell.
