Gov. Mike DeWine put his name on an executive order today setting 31 new voluntary policing standards for Ohio's 900-plus law enforcement agencies .
Board Chair Karen Huey, an assistant state public safety director, says the goal is to standardize professional police conduct across the state.
"The important thing is, we want to earn it. This is a new program. We’ll take our time to learn through this process, see how that relates to our current practices. And as we talk often in our community with our city leadership our chief’s advisory committee, it’s always about us identifying best practices – not staying in past practices," he told WSYX.
It also will help us continue to build trust and legitimacy with those we serve -- because if not for the people we serve, we can all just go home." I think any police department that is not, over the next several years, engaged in this -- their public has the right to say 'why not?'"
