The Beavercreek Police Department announced that Officer David Durkin has been named Community Engagement Officer, effective Jan. 11, 2026.

Durkin is a 10-year veteran of the department and has served in a variety of patrol-related assignments. His experience includes roles as a Crisis Intervention Team member, Evidence Technician, Field Training Officer, Firearms Instructor and Officer-in-Charge.

As Community Engagement Officer, Durkin will coordinate crime prevention and community engagement events, activities and programs, and provide public education on community policing objectives and practices. He will play a key role in planning and conducting youth and community programs such as Safety Town, the Citizens Police Academy, department open houses and National Night Out.

Durkin will also work closely with the city’s communications director to promote police department events, news and special programs through the department’s social media platforms. Durkin is enthusiastic about the new role and looks forward to continuing to strengthen partnerships between the police department and the community.

The department also announced that former Community Engagement Officer Travis O’Neill has been reassigned to a detective position within the department.

Residents are encouraged to say hello when they see Durkin out in the community and to join the department in welcoming him to this important new assignment.

The City of Beavercreek is now accepting applications for its 2026 Veteran Banner Program, an annual initiative that honors local veterans with double-sided banners displayed along North Fairfield Road and Dayton-Xenia Road from Memorial Day through Veterans Day. After the display period, banners are removed and made available for pickup by applicants.

This year’s program features a new banner design. Applications will be accepted until March 31, 2026, or until all available spaces are filled. With a limited number of poles available and strong interest anticipated, city staff encourage residents to apply as early as possible. Reservations are processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

The cost of each banner is $100, which includes design, printing and installation. Applicants must submit a completed application, proof of military service, a high-resolution military portrait, and payment. Cash, check and credit card payments are accepted. 

To qualify, the featured service member must be a current or former Beavercreek resident or an immediate family member of a current resident. Active-duty service members are not eligible due to limited display locations.

Program details and the application link can be found on the city’s website at beavercreekohio.gov/veteran or in-person at Beavercreek City Hall, located at 1368 Research Park Drive.
