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.[1]
The Ohio Collaborative's initial recommendations were on guidelines for use of force and employee recruitment.[2] The panel has since published standards on bias free policing, body worn cameras, community engagement, and telecommunicator training.[3]
The recommendations put forth by the Ohio Collaborative are not compulsory.[4] 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.
