Downtown Ambassadors

Have a question? Need help finding the restaurant where you made reservations tonight? Simply ask one of the friendly downtown Ambassadors. In warmer weather, you'll find them in bright orange shirts and khaki shorts. In the winter months, look for the bright blue jackets with reflective orange stripes. Downtown Ambassadors are on Fountain Square 24 hours a day, and out and about on downtown Cincinnati streets from 6am to 10pm daily. The Ambassador hotline is (513) 623-3429.

Safe, Clean & Friendly

Downtown Cincinnati Ambassadors

More than 25 Ambassadors, trained in public safety, enhanced cleanliness and customer service, patrol downtown Cincinnati seven days a week. Clad in bright orange shirts and blue jackets, Ambassadors serve as the eyes and ears of downtown and Fountain Square.

 

DURING our patrols we

  • Look out for disorderly conduct
  • Help Cincinnati Police reduce crime and panhandling
  • Remove litter and graffiti
  • Connect social services programs to those in need
  • Provide maps, guides and helpful directions
  • All of which creates a friendly, welcoming environment for everyone.

WHO we are

Downtown Ambassadors were initiated by Downtown Cincinnati Inc. (DCI), a non-profit business organization whose mission is to build a dynamic metropolitan center valued as the heart of the region. DCI is largely funded by the Downtown Cincinnati Improvement District, which is comprised of more than 500 property owners within the central business district. DCI works in close partnership with many downtown organizations including Fountain Square Management (3CDC), Downtown Services Unit, Cincinnati Police and city services.
