In order to
begin 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 about 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 more information on
