Ohio HB852 requires appointed police chiefs to complete basic training

Ohio HB852 mandates that appointed police chiefs in townships and cities complete an approved peace officer basic training program. The bill specifies that a board of township trustees or a city's director of public safety cannot appoint a chief of police unless the individual holds a certificate attesting to the completion of such training. The training must cover handling domestic violence offenses, crisis intervention, and companion animal encounters. The bill also outlines conditions for revoking or suspending peace officer certificates.
