The Elmore Police Department is proud to announce its participation in the Ohio Collaborative Law Enforcement Accreditation Program, an initiative launched by Governor Mike DeWine and administered by the Office of Criminal Justice Services (OCJS). The Elmore police department was awarded $23,056.99 to enhance "Evidence processing and Handling" according to Chief Jeffrey Harrison.

The Elmore Police department is among 20 Ohio law enforcement agencies selected in the second phase of the state’s innovative accreditation process, which recognizes departments that meet or exceed nearly three dozen rigorous standards related to professional conduct, community engagement, crisis intervention, and bias-free policing.

The Ohio Collaborative Law Enforcement Accreditation Program is the first and only state-run program of its kind in the country that is both voluntary and free for departments. It builds upon the well-established Ohio Collaborative Certification Program, which has already certified over 600 agencies for best practices in critical areas such as use of force and hiring practices.

The Elmore Police Department is proud to partner with OCJS to enhance our mission to safeguard lives and property, reduce crime, and enhance public safety for all persons.
