Dale James Woods

Police Officer Dale Woods succumbed to injuries sustained three days earlier while moving traffic control devices at the scene of a previous crash on Colerain Avenue near Harry Lee Lane.

The initial crash involved a vehicle striking a utility pole during a period of rain, requiring the utility company to respond to make repairs. Officer Woods was moving a traffic cone as part of the road closure when a pickup truck struck him.

He was transported to Cincinnati Medical Center where he passed away. His organs were donated following his death.

Officer Woods had served with the Colerain Township Police Department for 15 years. He is survived by his three children.

In January 2020, Colerain's Heritage Way was renamed Dale Woods Way, which is the street the police department is located on.

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Dale was killed in the line of duty.

To the family, fellow officers, and all who call Dale beloved, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in our area embraced us in a circle of love and support. I know that that you will receive that same kind of support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Dale gave to his community and the citizens of Ohio and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on January 7, 2019.
