Ohio Senate panel narrows bid for Little FBI agency
A judiciary subcommittee in Columbus watered down a bill intended to create a Department of Law Enforcement in the attorney general’s office. By reducing its scope to expanding BCI powers and limiting wiretap duration, police groups lost support for a state police force while the ACLU remains opposed to wiretaps and eavesdropping. The measure now seeks court-ordered 15 day wiretaps and keeps BCI as a crime lab extending investigative authority. The Ohio Sheriffs Association and Police Chiefs Association cautioned against restoring arrest powers or a full state force.
