Promotions - December 16th 2024
Sunbird - Annual Luncheon 
September 2024

​Celebrating 91 years of service with a purpose for the citizens of Ohio. It all started in 1933 when 60 patrolmen rode from the grounds of Camp Perry on motorcycles to outposts across Ohio. While our mission has evolved over time, our value to the public we serve is more important than ever.

With our condolences, we report the passing of retired Lieutenant Herbert "Herb" Gurwell, age 88, of the 60th Academy Class, on Thanksgiving Day, November 28th, at the Fairhaven Nursing Home in Archbold, Ohio. While serving as the post commander at the Swanton Patrol Post, Herb retired in June of 1989 after 27 years of dedicated service. His loving wife, Marie (Rathge), preceded him in death in 2017, as did a son, Benjamin J. Gurwell. He is survived by his son, retired Staff Lieutnenat Matthew Gurwell and daughter Rebecca J. Schermond. 

 Service and condolence information can be found at  OSHPRetiree.org.
