Wayne Police Dept. recertified

The Wayne Police Department was recently recertified by the Ohio Office of Criminal Justice Services.

The department is among 29 Ohio law enforcement agencies either certified or recertified for state standards established by the Ohio Collaborative Community-Police Advisory Board.

Overall, there are 605 certified agencies that have met the initial standards. Additionally, 29,443 officers (representing over 86.84% of all law enforcement officers in Ohio, including most of Ohio’s metropolitan areas) are employed by an agency that is involved in some form of the certification process.

The Collaborative was formed in 2015 to create uniform minimum standards for Ohio’s law enforcement agencies. The first two standards were developed by the Collaborative in 2015 to improve the trust between citizens and law enforcement officers.

Additional standards address community engagement, bias-free policing, body-worn cameras, vehicular pursuits, telecommunicator training, employee misconduct, mass protests, agency wellness, and interaction with minors. The standards are the first of their kind in Ohio and were developed 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 standards.
