Ohio Collaborative Community-Police Advisory Board
Ohio Collaborative
Summary
The Ohio Collaborative Community-Police Advisory Board was established by Governor Kasich's Executive Order 2015-04K to implement community-policing standards following recommendations of the Ohio Task Force on Community-Police Relations. The Board develops best-practice standards for use-of-force, vehicle pursuits (referenced in R.C. 2935.031), bias-free policing, and other policies, and certifies agencies that voluntarily comply. Certification is entirely voluntary and the Board has no enforcement, investigative, or disciplinary authority. It includes community members and law enforcement representatives and is administered through the Ohio Office of Criminal Justice Services.
