Ohio considers State Police bill modeled on Pennsylvania law
The Ohio legislature debates creating a State Police department with powers similar to Pennsylvania’s 1906 force. A 1917 Pennsylvania yearlong arrest list includes abduction, abortion, burglary, drun k and disorderly acts, robbery, seduction, and many other offenses totaling 6266. A 1917 arrest breakdown shows large numbers for disorderly conduct and liquor law violations, plus broad counts across categories.
