He serves as Chief of the Timberlake Police Department, where his role reflects a steady commitment to responsible policing and community service. His career includes recognition for traffic enforcement, impaired-driving enforcement, drug interdiction, youth-focused service, gun safety outreach, and contributions to the department, all grounded in practical field experience and a clear understanding of public safety responsibilities. Nick has developed a law enforcement career shaped by both patrol experience and leadership responsibility. Before serving as chief, he worked as a police sergeant and supported command staff duties, officer supervision, training coordination, and daily operational needs. His background includes service as a TAC Officer, Field Training Officer, Taser Instructor, and firearms instructor. These roles required him to help prepare personnel, maintain procedural standards, and support safe, consistent practices within demanding police environments. Dolbin also gained significant experience in emergency communications as a 911 Operations Supervisor for a county public safety system. He supervised call-takers in a high-volume setting that handled thousands of calls daily and coordinated AMBER Alerts, mass-casualty incidents, media alerts, cell phone pings, and agency requests. His responsibilities also included monitoring radio traffic, assisting police and fire departments, evaluating employee performance, and recommending training when additional support or development was needed. Nick Dolbin began his law enforcement work as an entry-level police officer assigned to patrol a subsidized housing complex. That early role gave him direct exposure to community-based policing and the importance of visibility, communication, and consistency. He later served with several police departments in Ohio, building experience in patrol, enforcement, administration, and command-related duties. His record includes involvement in a significant methamphetamine seizure during a traffic stop and broad administrative support across department functions. Nick has completed certifications that support his work in public safety, emergency response, instruction, and officer development. His training includes Crisis Intervention Training, Public Safety Telecommunicator, Emergency Medical Dispatch, Communications Training Officer, Field Training Officer, Background Investigator, Semi-Auto Pistol Instructor, Shotgun Instructor, and Taser Instructor. These credentials reflect preparation across multiple areas of law enforcement service, including communication, response coordination, training delivery, investigation support, and safe equipment instruction for personnel and departments. Dolbin also brings management experience from his earlier career in the insurance industry, where he worked in statewide operations, workers’ compensation, and claims-related service. Those roles involved overseeing daily functions, supporting customer needs, reviewing claims, and communicating with injured workers, medical providers, employers, and attorneys. This background helped him develop organization, documentation, service awareness, and decision-making skills that later supported his transition into law enforcement leadership and administrative public safety responsibilities. Nick Dolbin earned a Bachelor of Business Administration with a focus on management and labor relations before continuing his development through police academy training and executive management leadership coursework.
