OH HB167

Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission authorized to establish additional training courses for law enforcement officers at or above the rank of sergeant

Chief of police training course location expanded from only the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy to any locations determined by the commission

Equivalency exemption for chief of police training standardized at 8 hours (previously an unspecified "portion"), with exemption requests due 14 calendar days before the course begins rather than 10 days after appointment

Definition of "newly appointed chief of police" changed from someone who "did not hold the office" before appointment to someone who "has never held the full time position" of chief of police

Amendments to the December 29, 2023 version of section 109.804 ensure changes continue after that effective date
