Ohio State Senator Hoagland Announces Statewide School Safety Center
Ohio State Senator Frank Hoagland (R-Mingo Junction) joined Governor DeWine as he issued an executive order creating a statewide school safety center through a new specialized division of Ohio Homeland Security.
The new comprehensive statewide office, the Ohio School Safety Center (OSSC), will assist local schools and law enforcement in preventing, preparing for and responding to threats and acts of violence.
The legislation would create an Ohio School Marshal Program to equip schools with the training and resources necessary to protect the safety of Ohio's students and schools. The bill has been referred the Senate's Local Government and Public Affairs committee.
"I am dedicated to continuing the effort to increase safety and security in our state. I am confident that working together with Governor DeWine and Ohio's Homeland Security office we will accurately and relentlessly address the threats of violence facing our students," said Hoagland.
