Section 5502.01 of the Ohio Revised Code requires the Ohio Department of Public Safety to compile, analyze and publish statistics relative to motor vehicle crashes. DPS needs to make the data available for use by law enforcement agencies as well as other constituents. DPS is requesting the assistance of every law enforcement agency in Ohio that investigates motor vehicle crashes in order to have complete and accurate statistics. All crashes (excluding non-fatal private property), regardless of injury severity, that were investigated in 2018 and completed in a paper format must be submitted to the Ohio Department of Public Safety by March 15, 2019. We will be unable to process the data from any OH-1’s received after that date.
Please note that on March 31st of each year the Ohio Department of Public Safety closes the crash data file for the previous crash year. Pending crash reports and supplements received on previously submitted reports cannot be entered electronically or entered by ODPS after this date.
If your department cannot submit a crash by the March 15th deadline please contact Thomas Gwinn, 614-752-1585, or via email at tegwinn@dps.ohio.gov
