Oakwood is a city in Montgomery county in the U.S. state of Ohio. Oakwood is part of the Greater Dayton Area.

Oakwood is completely land-locked by the surrounding cities of Dayton and Kettering, and its small, compact geographic area facilitates the response of its single unified (consolidated) Department of Public Safety, in which all personnel are certified as police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical services officers.

Public safety officers work 24-hour shifts, performing the different functions within eight-hour blocks of each shift. Oakwood is one of only a few U.S. cities to employ the concept.
