Columbus Community Safety Advisory Commission

Neighborhood Safety Strategy

In November 2017, Mayor Andrew J. Ginther announced the creation of the Columbus Community Safety Advisory Commission.  This Commission is focused on areas such as de-escalation, crisis intervention, and implicit bias training; use of force policies; diversity recruitment and retention; and early intervention and officer wellness programs.  

In each area, the Commission will assess what the City of Columbus needs to do to provide public safety services that are transparent, accountable, and responsive for every person in every neighborhood.
