Neil Hassinger
| Medina County Sheriff |
"I met Sheriff Hassinger many years ago when he
was a distinguished member of the Ohio State
Highway Patrol. Neil Hassinger has been the Sheriff
of Medina County for the last 11 years, and over that
time he has elevated our Sheriff’s Office to be a
respected and accredited law enforcement agency. I
am proud of his accomplishments and encourage
you to vote for Sheriff Hassinger on March 4th."
William Batchelder
Ohio House of Representatives, 69th District
"Neil Hassinger is a dedicated and talented
professional. He has created a quality office,
emphasizing training, discipline, and
responsiveness. The public has been greatly served
by this remarkable public servant.''
Betty Montgomery
former Ohio Attorney General and
Auditor of State
"As a Medina County Commissioner for 15 years,
I have worked with 3 Sheriffs. While we’ve always
had a good Sheriff’s Department, with Sheriff
Hassinger’s leadership, we have an Excellent Sheriff’
s Department. This excellence is a matter of national
record through CALEA accreditation. It is also well-
documented that in-jail programs implemented by
Sheriff Hassinger have decreased repeat offenders
making our streets safer and saving many tax-payer
dollars."
Pat Geissman, Medina County Commissioner
“When I became a member of Wadsworth City
Council in 1998, it was important to me, as an
elected official, that I keep abreast of Neil Hassinger’
s activities as sheriff.
Through the years, I have found Sheriff Hassinger
to be a dedicated public servant, accessible to the
public, and committed to transforming the Medina
County Sheriff’s Office into a top-notch law
enforcement agency of which the citizens of this
county can be proud. His stewardship of the funds
entrusted to him has been exemplary. Hassinger’s
record demonstrates his effectiveness, vision and
dedication to Medina County’s law enforcement
needs.
Neil Hassinger is the best possible candidate to
lead our Sheriff’s Office for the next four years. I am
proud to support Sheriff Neil Hassinger in his bid for
re-election March 4.”
Robin Laubaugh, Mayor, City of Wadsworth
"I have known Sheriff Neil Hassinger for more than
12 years. As a business owner, school board
member and township trustee, I have had occasion
to interact with him numerous times in each of these
capacities.
I have always been impressed with his
responsiveness, his integrity and his honesty.
He has done an excellent job as Medina County
sheriff and has raised the standard of excellence of
the sheriff’s office to new heights.
Please join me in supporting Sheriff Neil Hassinger
in his bid for reelection in March."
Bob Kelly
President, Bil-Jac Foods Inc.
Member of Highland school board
Former Granger Township Trustee
"I first met Sheriff Neil Hassinger seven years ago
at a Farm Bureau meeting. I was immediately
impressed with his genuine interest in Medina
County farmers and the specific issues of the
agriculture community. His continued concern for
Medina County farmers has been ongoing.
Faced with the growing needs of a growing county,
Sheriff Hassinger has also stepped up to the plate to
increase department efficiency and improve public
safety.
I am proud to support his reelection."
Jason Hazen
Vice-president, Medina County Farm Bureau
Secretary/treasurer of Sharon Community Trusts
Member, Sharon Twp. Board of Zoning Appeals
"Sheriff Hassinger is kind, caring and will go the
extra mile to help the people he serves. He will roll up
his sleeves and dig in to help, no matter what is
needed. I have experienced firsthand his
compassion and kindness. There is no better public
servant."
Helen Ellis
Guilford Township Senior Citizen
“Loved” seems a unusual word to apply to a police
chief, but there can be no doubt that Sheriff
Hassinger is loved by the community that he serves.
When Sheriff Hassinger became Medina County’s
sheriff, he brought with him years of experience in a
wide variety of areas of law enforcement and had a
proven track record of service to the communities in
which he served.
In 2004, he received the Justice Evelyn Lundberg
Stratton Award. Besides working to ensure that
Medina County remained one of the safest
communities in our region, Sheriff Hassinger also
created and implemented a number of programs to
reach out to the families that he serves and ensure
that they would know as much as possible about how
to keep their families safe.

"Medina County needs Sheriff Neil Hassinger to
remain in office. He is one of the most effective
law enforcement officials in our region. He is a
man of ethics, honesty and the highest
professionalism. Medina County needs the
Sheriff's experience to handle the important law
enforcement issues of our day.
He has demonstrated fiscal responsibility by
making prudent use of the tax monies entrusted to
him and has led his department to a level of
excellence achieved by few law enforcement
agencies. I support Sheriff Hassinger's bid to lead
Medina County into the future.
Ralph Regula

"I have known Sheriff Neil Hassinger for more
than 20 years. As a state Senator, it was my
privilege to work with him regularly on a number of
safety issues when he was Commander of
Medina Highway Patrol Post 52, when he headed
the I-480 Post and in his current position as
Sheriff of Medina County. He earned the complete
respect of my fellow legislators because of his
trustworthiness, his honesty, his knowledge and
his commitment to good law enforcement.
He has done an outstanding job as Sheriff, is
proactive, innovative, hardworking and focused.
He is a dedicated officer, whose goal is to
continue to serve the citizens of Medina County in
the best possible way.
It is my pleasure to endorse Sheriff Neil
Hassinger in his bid for re-election as Medina
County Sheriff."
Grace Drake, former Senator
"Sheriff Neil Hassinger is, in my opinion, a
“sheriffs’” sheriff, but more importantly, he is the
people’s sheriff. He is a true professional in every
way. He has provided the citizens of Medina
County excellent service and he is committed to
continuing that service.
As a township trustee, I have had the privilege of
working with Sheriff Hassinger and it is through
this association that I came to realize and respect
his commitment and dedication to the citizens of
Medina County.
I support his re-election and urge every voter to
cast his or her ballot for Sheriff Neil Hassinger on

rescue departments county-wide.
As a trustee, I work with Sheriff Hassinger every

"As a former Olympic gold medalist, I know that
mental and physical fitness in law enforcement,

successfully lead the Medina County Sheriff’s
Office."
