State troopers, Clark County Sheriff’s deputies, and police from as far away as Cincinnati were inside the meeting.
Some residents told News Center 7 that they do not feel safe right now, especially when it comes to driving and kids in school.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine recently called in state troopers for increased patrols and security on the roads and in the schools.
“We’ve been wondering why traffic laws aren’t being enforced for migrant people in the area,” Springfield resident Bill Monnigan said.
