Governor DeWine took time Thursday to address the deadly incident where a Columbus police officer fatally shot a teenager earlier this week.

In the coming days, DeWine will announce plans to build trust between law enforcement and the people they serve.

The bill is said to contain several new measures that are meant to build on efforts the governor has already put in place.

Those include a state licensing and oversight board, a one-stop use of force database, and a record of officer discipline.

Those tools would be available to any department that's considering hiring officers with a history of violations.

One of the most significant areas of focus of the bill is securing independent funding for training and mandating a certain number of hours for that training when it comes to use of force, de-escalation, and bias.

"I'VE NEVER MET A POLICE OFFICER WHO DIDN'T WANT MORE TRAINING. WE HAVE MANY DEPARTMENTS IN THE STATE OF OHIO, PARTICULARLY THE SMALLER ONES, THAT DON'T GET AS MUCH CONTINUAL TRAINING EVERY SINGLE YEAR, AND WE'VE GOT TO PUT MORE FOCUS ON THAT," said DeWine.

This is a continuation of a conversation DeWine started during his COVID briefing Wednesday.

He pointed out actions he's already taken on police reform including banning chokeholds and buying body cameras for OSP troopers.

DeWine says passing this bill would put Ohio at the forefront of police reform.
