Copley Seniors - In December, 2011 a small group of Copley residents (the Steering Committee) met and discussed the possibility of forming an organization structured especially for Copley's active seniors, to provide seniors an outlet for socialization, group activities, programs on health, wellness or safety issues customized for those who are 55 years of age or older.  Meetings are at the Copley Town Hall the 4th Wednesday of each month.  If you are interested in joining the Copley Seniors, please contact Bill or Kaye Daniel at bk1493@aol.com. 

Senior Visits - This program is an extension of the department's community outreach program.  Each visit consists of a Police Officer, a Fire Fighter and other personnel coming to meet with you in your home.  We will bring the coffee and donuts, and enjoy casual conversation with you as well as answer any questions you may have. We are taking reservations for Thursday mornings at 10 a.m.  Please contact Sheryl at the Copley Police Department at 330-666-4218 to schedule your senior visit.
