A new resource that will assist local law enforcement agencies with recruitment efforts was recently announced by state officials.
The new, user-friendly, and free website, powered by OhioMeansJobs.com, aims to better connect law enforcement agencies across the state with potential employees, addressing a need brought forward by law enforcement officials.
The state’s new law enforcement recruitment website, LawEnforcementJobs.Ohio.gov, instantly connects prospective recruits with up-to-date job postings and advises them on the next steps. As new agencies opt-in, candidates will be able to search for open jobs from any of Ohio’s over 900 law enforcement agencies. Prospective recruits will also have the ability to search for jobs by agency, county, or current location from agencies including police departments, sheriff’s offices, and other entities such as park districts and state agencies.
Ohio Lt. Governor Jon Husted, Director of InnovateOhio, and Andy Wilson, Director of the Ohio Department of Public Safety, today were joined by law enforcement leaders to announce the new site.
"Our administration has always aimed to invest in the tools that law enforcement agencies need to keep our communities safe, and right now, many sheriffs and police chiefs are telling us that their greatest need is more staff," said Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. "With support from OhioMeansJobs, we’re now making it easier than ever for agencies all over the state to attract qualified law enforcement professionals to fill job openings."
