In order to
begin to quickly implementing the Ohio Task Force on Community-Police
Relations’ recommendations, Gov. Kasich created the Ohio Collaborative
Community-Police Advisory Board in April 2015 to continue taking feedback from
the public and report annually on its work and the compliance of local law
enforcement agencies. The community-law
enforcement advisory panel developed – for the first time in Ohio history –
state standards that can help guide Ohio law enforcement agencies. More than 500 agencies employing over 27,000 officers in
all 88 counties, representing 80 percent of all law enforcement officers in
Ohio and most of Ohio’s metropolitan departments, are participating in the
certification process. More than 80 percent of Ohio’s population is served by
an agency engaged in the process. For
