{{distinguish | Ohio Organizing Collaborative}} The '''Ohio Collaborative''' is a twelve-person panel in Ohio that establishes statewide standards for law enforcement agencies. The result of recommendations from a task force created by Ohio Governor John Kasich, the Ohio Collaborative is co-chaired by Director of Public Safety John Born and former Ohio Senator Nina Turner. Other members of the collaborative include representatives from law enforcement, community members, and legislators.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ohio Collaborative Community-Police Advisory Board|url=http://www.ocjs.ohio.gov/ohiocollaborative/about.html|website=Office of Criminal Justice Services|accessdate=22 March 2017|archive-date=2 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202122344/http://www.ocjs.ohio.gov/ohiocollaborative/about.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>
