What Ohio law requires
House Bill 99 (2022) rewrote R.C. 2923.122 and added R.C. 5502.262 so that a board of education or a school's governing body may authorize armed personnel who complete the Ohio School Safety Center's approved curriculum, with public notice of the authorization. The curriculum covers up to 24 hours of initial training in scenario-based active-shooter response, de-escalation, first aid, and firearms qualification, with 8 hours of annual requalification.
DIS protects its first Ohio campus today and is building the officer pool and the Ohio security-guard-services licensing to serve districts and charters across the state, beginning with Columbus and Cincinnati. Our officers complete the Ohio School Safety Center curriculum on top of DIS active-threat, tactical-medicine and youth mental health first aid training.
Ohio also requires every school to file an emergency management plan with the Ohio School Safety Center, maintain a threat assessment team, and conduct annual drills. DIS supports all three.
Statutes summarized for orientation; each engagement is reviewed against current law with the school's counsel. Licensing board: Ohio Department of Public Safety, Private Investigator Security Guard Services.
