ZPD recertified by Ohio Collaborative

The Zanesville Police Department recently completed the Ohio Collaborative recertification process.

There are 581 agencies that are certified, and three that are in the process of becoming certified by meeting standards for the use of force, including deadly force, and agency recruitment and hiring. Additionally, more than 29,707 officers, representing over 86 percent of all law enforcement officers in Ohio, are employed by an agency that is involved in some form of the certification process.

The standards are the first of their kind in Ohio and were developed and established by the Ohio Collaborative Community-Police Advisory Board as part of the state’s efforts to strengthen community and police relations.

The state has partnered with the Buckeye State Sheriffs’ Association and the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police to help certify Ohio’s nearly 900 law enforcement agencies on a process to ensure that they are in compliance with Ohio’s new standards. The complete list of agencies who have and have not been certified can be found at: http://www.ocjs.ohio.gov/ohiocollaborative/
