Approximately 95% of the funding for these police services comes from property taxes.

The community last approved a police funding measure in 2016, the township said.

Since that time, the township said the cost of maintaining police services has increased by nearly 27%.

Law enforcement personnel serve approximately 21,814 residents within the township.

The levy will appear on the ballot for Harrison Township voters on May 5, 2026.
