Attorney
General Makes Recommendations for Law
Enforcement Training
(COLUMBUS)
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine today
sent a letter to Ohio’s
legislative leaders outlining recommendations on how to best use the
funds from
the gross casino tax revenue to enhance public safety and provide
additional
law enforcement training opportunities.
As
mandated by the Ohio Constitution, two
percent of gross casino tax revenue is dedicated to law enforcement
training,
with 85% going to the Ohio Attorney General’s Peace Officer Training
Academy
and 15% going to the Office of Criminal Justice Services.
Attorney
General DeWine convened an advisory
group of state and local law enforcement representatives to help
determine how
to best use the funding.
A
copy of the letter containing the
recommendations to the legislative leaders can be found on the Ohio
Attorney
General's website.
