{{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](/source/John_Kasich), the Ohio Collaborative is co-chaired by Director of Public Safety John Born and former Ohio Senator [Nina Turner](/source/Nina_Turner). Other members of the collaborative include representatives from law enforcement, community members, and legislators.[{{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}}]
The Ohio Collaborative's initial recommendations were on guidelines for [use of force](/source/use_of_force) and employee recruitment.[{{Cite news|url=http://stagenc.build.dispatch.com/news/20170203/state-pushing-police-departments-to-seek-certification-in-use-of-force-hiring-policies|title=State pushing police departments to seek certification in use-of-force, hiring policies|last=Narciso|first=Dean|work=The Columbus Dispatch|access-date=2017-03-22|language=en}}] The panel has since published standards on bias free policing, body worn cameras, community engagement, and telecommunicator training.[{{Cite web|url=http://www.ocjs.ohio.gov/ohiocollaborative/standards.html|title=Ohio Collaborative|website=ocjs.ohio.gov|language=en|access-date=2017-03-22|archive-date=2017-03-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170327165829/http://www.ocjs.ohio.gov/ohiocollaborative/standards.html|url-status=dead}}]
The recommendations put forth by the Ohio Collaborative are not compulsory.[{{Cite news|url=http://www.toledoblade.com/State/2017/01/14/Ohio-urging-police-agencies-to-meet-new-statewide-standards.html|title=Ohio urging police agencies to meet new statewide standards|date=2017-01-14|work=The Blade|access-date=2017-03-22|language=en-US}}] Agencies that choose to comply with the guidelines are considered to be "certified" by the Collaborative, are issued certificates, and are listed on the Ohio Collaborative website.
