Columbus Ohio Sept 721 Ohio's highway patrol formed four years ago with 60 men now ranks among the largest state police agencies in the country. The force has 170 officers plus 25 radio operators and 25 clerks with five radio stations statewide and local posts. A 95 man expansion was authorized but funding not yet allocated. Only six states have larger forces.
The text recounts Jesus calling Matthew the publican and dining with tax collectors and sinners, provoking Pharisee criticism yet underscoring the gospel's call to repentance. It also describes Ohio patrol expansion, new laws on recovered property, reporting signs of violence, and radio system innovations with unit and signal designations.
The Ohio patrol can only enforce state traffic laws and cannot perform general policing. Colonel Lynn Black, head of the patrol, argues this limited jurisdiction hinders crime intervention and plans to seek expanded powers to allow broader authority until local authorities arrive.
The piece details patrol signals like Signal 21 and 86 for road blocks, 10 to 49 call codes, and how patrols report to HQ or district offices. It notes 1596 holocycles transmitting around 65 miles with 583 tuned receivers including 69 squad cars and 64 motorcycles, and Black’s hope for two way radios though current sets cover about 40 miles.
