North Ridgeville officers participate in Operation Open Heart, which consists of a group of Law Enforcement Officers from various Lorain County Law Enforcement agencies.

The officers spend a week with a group of children who are orphans or foster children who are currently under the control of Lorain County Children Services. The children are males between the ages of six and seventeen.
The idea behind the program is to be a positive influence in the lives of the children, and to provide them with goals and direction. The officers take the children to various locations throughout LorainCountyLorainCountyAirport to boating in Lake Erie. where they participate in varied activities. These activities may include airplane rides at the Lorain County Airport, or boating on Lake Erie.
