Chief Jim Canter

After serving Hamersville for 37 years, Police Chief Jim Canter has retired. On Dec. 16, the Hamersville Village Council and staff hosted a Christmas Celebration dinner in his honor, joined by many members of his family.

Chief Canter was presented a plaque to recognize his long career with the police department, as well as a proclamation from the State of Ohio. He was also given some furniture accessories, made by his brother Ray Canter, from the rolltop desk that Chief Canter used for so many years serving his community.
