In 1957, the village, at a population of about 350 residents, hired a full-time police officer to handle law enforcement duties. The officer, "Rosie" Rose, also handled a number of other duties including city maintenance. By 1974, the village had increased in population and the police force was rapidly growing. The development of Muirfield by Jack Nicklaus was underway and the town expanded even more with Wendy’s International and Ashland Chemical’s corporate headquarters moving to Dublin. At present, the Dublin Division of Police has grown to more than fifty police officers, 10 communications personnel and five clerical positions.

The Village of Grove City, incorporated at the end of the Civil War, had its first election held that May. Town marshals were the law enforcement officers until the early 1950s. The first police chief enforced law in the area assisted by his wife who dispatched calls. In 1961, the police department had grown to six officers, one captain, one sergeant and two civilian employees. From 1982 to 1990, Grove City Police Department saw an expansion through the addition of a detective bureau.

Prior to 1957, an elected town marshal was the only form of law enforcement. In 1957, "Hilliard’s", as it was called then, had its first volunteer police force and in that same year purchased its first cruiser. In the 1960s, the city officially shortened the name to Hilliard. Due to the tremendous growth in the 1980s doubling the population to over 20,000 residents, the force increased to 43 sworn officers and 18 civilian employees. To date, the Hilliard Police Department also has an Auxiliary Police staff and sponsors a law enforcement Explorer Post.
