STANDLEY |
Bellefontaine Police Chief Brandon Standley was one of 27 people recently appointed to Gov. Mike DeWine’s Warrant Task Force.
The task force will make recommendations regarding the prioritization of warrants for serious offenders and threats to public safety; the substantial volume of outstanding warrants in Ohio; the mass issuance of warrants by courts across Ohio; and best practices for serving outstanding warrants.
The new task force replaces the National Instant Criminal Background Check System Compliance Working Group, which was previously created to examine local and state compliance with law enforcement and court data submissions, including warrant information, to NICS. In addition to the task force’s new objectives, task force members will continue its original purpose of monitoring NICS compliance.
The task force will deliver its findings and recommendations by June 3.
