Change of Ohio's reporting laws

The Issue

     Ohio lacks a statute that mandates the reporting of lethal force incidents by law enforcement officers. We believe it is important for the public to have easy access to verifiable data and statistics regarding deadly force usage. Without verifiable data, the discussion about Ohio police use of lethal force is vulnerable to unfounded claims and counter claims. Facts are needed for informed public discussion and agency policy decisions. Please support our campaign by signing our petition to encourage change in Ohio reporting laws.
