Lt. Gov. @JonHusted on #STRONGOhio: #InnovateOhio, the Department of Public Safety & Department of Administrative Services are designing a tech. solution to fix current background check system, with the goal of making a “free, easy & mandatory” warrant system for law enforcement.
For Ohio’s gun shop owners, a streamlined warrant and protection order system would improve the ability to see all warrants and protection orders in a background check in real time.
This is also an issue of officer safety.
Under the current system, a person could have an outstanding warrant, then move to another jurisdiction where the police officer doesn’t know about the warrant – putting them in a dangerous situation.

We will get the process & technology side of this problem resolved, but it will still need action from the General Assembly to make the E-Warrant system mandatory. For the system to be the best it can it be, we need every law enforcement agency in the state to use it.
