Ohio Collaborative
The Ohio Collaborative is a twelve-person panel in Ohio that establishes statewide standards for law enforcement agencies. The result of recommendations from a task force created by Ohio Governor John Kasich, the Ohio Collaborative is co-chaired by Director of Public Safety John Born and former Ohio Senator Nina Turner. Other members of the collaborative include representatives from law enforcement, community members, and legislators.
The Ohio Collaborative's initial recommendations were on guidelines for use of force and employee recruitment. The panel has since published standards on bias free policing, body worn cameras, community engagement, and telecommunicator training.
The recommendations put forth by the Ohio Collaborative are not compulsory. Agencies that choose to comply with the guidelines are considered to be "certified" by the Collaborative, are issued certificates, and are listed on the Ohio Collaborative website.
