OHIO's AG DeWine backs "Blue Alert" bill to help when law enforcement officers injured or killed

Nov. 21, 2011 - Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine on Monday announced his support for proposed “Blue Alert” state legislation to help apprehend suspects when law enforcement officers are killed or injured in the line of duty.

“As attorney general, I am committed to doing everything in my power to enhance the safety of Ohio’s law enforcement professionals and bring those who would do them harm to justice,” DeWine said in a press release.

The legislation would work like Amber Alert, Silver Alert and Blue Alert systems to relay information about suspects to the public when law enforcement officers have been seriously harmed or killed, the release said.

Thirteen other states have adopted such systems, the release said.

State Sens. Gayle Manning, R-North Ridgeville, and Tom Patton, R-Strongsville, are to sponsor the legislation, the release said.

At the national level, U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, has cosponsored legislation to create a national “Blue Alert” system, also to aid in apprehending those who injure or kill law enforcement officers serving in the line of duty.

Brown’s bill has been approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee and awaits final passage by the full Senate, according to Brown’s office.
