COLUMBUS, Ohio - After weeks of national protests since the death of George Floyd, Ohioans should learn more Wednesday about what is planned in Ohio and its major cities to reform law enforcement.

One day after President Donald Trump signed an executive order that he said would encourage better police practices, Governor Mike DeWine and state Attorney General Dave Yost on Wednesday will announce new efforts regarding policing in Ohio.

A 2 p.m. news conference has been scheduled to make the announcement.

Earlier in the day, Youngstown’s Jamael Tito Brown will join mayors from five other Ohio cities to address racial injustice and police reforms in the state.

The 11:30 a.m. video news conference will also announce the launch of a new effort by the Ohio Mayor’s Alliance to help implement public safety reforms in cities.

In addition to Mayor Brown, those taking part in the news conference include Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan; Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley; Columbus Mayor Andrew J. Ginther; Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley; and Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz.

On Tuesday Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther announced that he has ordered police to immediately stop the use of tear gas and pepper spray to disperse non-aggressive, non-violent crowds.

“Let me be clear: tear gas and pepper spray will no longer be used to break-up peaceful protests,” said Ginther who said the move is in response to community feedback.
