A bit about Neil Hassinger...
Professionally:
Sheriff Neil Hassinger brings 38 years of distinguished
service in law enforcement to his position at the helm of
the Medina County Sheriff's Office.
Neil was born in Tiffin, Ohio and began his career in law
enforcement with the Ohio State Highway Patrol, where
he served for more than twenty-eight years. He retired
as a Staff Lieutenant in command of the Cuyahoga
County operations for the Highway Patrol. Sheriff
Hassinger served in many capacities with the Ohio State
Highway Patrol, including executive protection,
investigations, and road patrol. He had the responsibility
of developing and organizing the first urban Highway
Patrol Post in the State of Ohio. Neil also received the
highest award possible from the State of Ohio through
the State Employees’ Suggestion Awards Program.
Neil Hassinger has served as Medina County Sheriff since
January of 1997. Under his leadership, the Medina
County Sheriff’s Office has received highly positive
recognition both statewide and nationally. The Medina
County Jail is one of only four county jails in Ohio to
receive state accreditation and one of only two from
Ohio to receive national recognition on how a jail should
be operated.
