The Ohio House version of a bill to lower the age to become a police officer across the state was introduced last week with equal parts support and scrutiny.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.
To help that, the GOP sponsors said the state need only change one word in Ohio Revised Code: the minimum appointment age for a police officer from 21 years old to 18. Members of the committee supported the idea of increasing numbers on police forces in Ohio, but two criticisms came up about the bill: trusting 18-year-olds as police officers and saving pensions for retiring officers.
Some committee members also expressed concern about adding that many more people into the pension system as the state struggles to sustain it already.
