The Community Service Program is administered through the Judges of the Fairfield County Municipal Court, and funded by a grant provided by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.  The program provides supervised community service opportunities for individuals on probation, or bond through the Court, offering an alternative to incarceration and, in some cases, the opportunity for reduced charges.  Approved participants may also be eligible to work off BMV reinstatement fees through the program.

Dan Kemp assumed oversight of the Community Service Program upon joining the Probation Department in May 2026.  He is passionate about serving the community, building meaningful connections, and strengthening partnerships with city and county departments, schools, churches, nonprofit organizations, and community members.  

The program supports special projects, litter and trash clean up efforts, and other community improvement initiatives, while providing participants with opportunities to make a positive impact throughout Fairfield County. 


Entities requesting community service assistance must meet at least one of the following criteria:

  • Public School
  • Church
  • Not-For-Profit
  • County Agency
  • City Agency
Organizations interested in partnering with the program are encouraged to contact Dan Kemp at (740) 808-3064 or by email at dkemp@fcmcourt.org.
