he Cleveland Police Foundation’s Police Officer of the Month for June 2026 is P.O. Logan Weber and was nominated by CPD Lieutenant Edward Lentz. The following is the narrative explaining the reason for the nomination:
“P.O. Logan Weber consistently delivers outstanding police service and exemplifies the core principles of community policing. He is known for his unwavering commitment to the Cleveland community and for the dependable support he provides to his fellow officers.
Officer Weber never hesitates to step into difficult or dangerous assignments, demonstrating exceptional courage, professionalism, and a strong sense of duty. He approaches every situation with compassion and integrity, ensuring that no community member is left without help. His colleagues rely on him because he is always ready to assist, collaborate, and lead when needed.
In addition to his exemplary service on duty, Officer Weber has made a meaningful and lasting impact through his involvement with the Cleveland Police Foundation’s Fishing with Cops program over the past two years. During these events, he has built strong, positive relationships with Cleveland youth by mentoring them one-on-one teaching them how to rig fishing lures, bait hooks, cast lines, and catch fish, all while engaging them in genuine, encouraging conversation. After the fishing wraps up, he helps prepare and serve food so every child leaves with a full belly, a sense of belonging, and unforgettable memories.
His dedication, reliability, and service-first mindset make him an invaluable asset to the department and a trusted guardian of the community.”
I wholeheartedly concur with this write-up on Officer Weber, especially concerning the Fishing with Cops event that I have been in charge of for the past 10 years. Officer Weber and Lieutenant Lentz have become a very important part of this event and not only help the kids catch the fish but also how to clean and cook them. Thank you both for making the events a success.
It is because of his dedication to his fellow officers and the children in the community that the Cleveland Police Foundation is indeed honored to name P.O. Logan Weber its Police Officer of the Month for June 2026.

About the Police Officer of the Month Program
The Cleveland Police Foundation – in partnership with the Cleveland Division of Police, Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association, and the Fraternal Order of Police Cleveland Lodge 8 – is proud of the Police Officer of the Month program. The program’s purpose is to recognize members of the Cleveland Division of Police who not only perform their duties in an exemplary and extraordinary manner, but also excel in efforts that are consistent with a major tenet of the CPF’s mission to strengthen the bonds between citizens and police officers… building bridges, creating opportunities for dialogue, and forging positive relationships within the community.
Already aware that officers in the Cleveland Division of Police routinely go out of their way to help their fellow citizens, committee members are not surprised by the large number of candidates. With so many outstanding officers, selecting one recipient per month proved to be a somewhat daunting task.
When asked why bestow these awards, CPF Executive Director Charles W. Lane, Jr. states, “In today’s busy world, while some deeds may seem fairly insignificant, we hold out hope that such random acts of kindness may have a significant impact on a person’s life. Even if not, it’s nice to know that our police officers do for others what they would want someone else to do for a member of their family if the opportunity presented itself.”
Police officers across this great country perform similar deeds day-in and day-out, with little fanfare and really not seeking, nor even wanting recognition. We commend these officers for their compassion and personal commitment to making our city a better place to live.
