We also hear from a member that the Ohio Burglar & Fire Alarm Association has efforts underway to get legislation in the Ohio House that would license security alarm dealers, installers, and different elements of the security alarm industry. We have not found any Bill numbers on that as yet. In addition, there is a name change underway that would change their association name to the Ohio Electronic Life Safety & Security Association.

I just retrieved this from the Ohio Police Chiefs Law Review. It pertains to a change in law that would grant credit unions and savings banks the authority to have police officers appointed. The Act – House Bill 81 – follows:
Banks and Credit Union Police (H. B. No. 81)
This Act makes comprehensive changes to Ohio’s credit union laws. In addition, it contains a provision of interest to law enforcement. This provision requires those individuals appointed by the secretary of state to act as police officers to first obtain peace officer training.
More specifically, current law allows banks and savings and loan associations to apply to the Secretary of State for the appointment and commission of persons to act as police officers for and on the premises of the financial institution. The only specified qualifications for these on-premises police officers is that they be Ohio residents and of good character.
The Act would grant credit unions and savings banks the same authority to have police officers appointed. In addition, the Act specifies that to be qualified to be appointed and commissioned by the Secretary of State at any financial institution (bank, savings and loan, savings bank, credit union), a person also must complete a peace officer training program certified by OPOTC.

On January 5, 2006, President Bush signed into law the Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005 (H.R. 3402). The “…Department of Justice Reauthorization…” part of the legislation is what should be of particular interest to the security industry. Buried back on page 133 of the legislation is section 1105. It is titled “Organized Retail Theft.” A short synopsis of the act can be found in the Jan-Feb North Coast Network Newsletter under Legislative Information.
