Ohio Cop is an independent, offline directory of a deliberately limited set of current Ohio public-safety contacts. This edition includes nine contacts: five Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation offices and selected Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati police contacts, each verified from first-party government pages. Each record shows its official source and verification date. Search works offline, and important values can be copied. Phone, Maps, Mail, and Safari open only after you choose and confirm an available action. Fax values are display-and-copy only. The directory is intentionally limited. It is not a complete Ohio agency directory: counties, most municipalities, facilities, prosecutors, coroners, and other agencies are not included. Contact details can change, so confirm important information directly with the agency. Ohio Cop is independent and unofficial. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the State of Ohio or any government, law-enforcement, or emergency-services agency. It is not for emergencies. In the United States, call 911. Access: once Ohio Cop is free to download, full access to the directory needs an Ohio Cop Weekly subscription. If you bought Ohio Cop, or your organization obtained it through Apple's volume purchasing, you keep full access without subscribing. Ohio Cop Weekly: $4.99 per week in the U.S. (other storefronts show the local price). Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically every week until you cancel. Cancel anytime in Settings > your name > Subscriptions at least 24 hours before the renewal date to avoid the next charge. No free trial. Terms of Use: https://beforeafter.appholdings.org/terms/ohio-cop-ios.html Privacy Policy: https://beforeafter.appholdings.org/privacy/ohio-cop-ios.html Privacy: no account, third-party ads, cross-app tracking, or protected permissions. First-party analytics receives only the documented installation, attribution, access and verified-purchase events.

Want to pass the OPOTA SPO Basic Police Exam? Download this app and start studying questions that will help you prepare for the test and your career as a police officer in the state of Ohio. Created by people with backgrounds in law enforcement and education, we've found the flashcard method to be one of the most effective training tools for police academy cadets. Our app includes questions covering all areas of the exam, which is divided up into different categories. Study the questions and categories you want to work on, and hide the ones you already know (you can always add them back later). Having this information on your phone makes it easy to study on your own terms, and since they're pre-populated with questions and answers, you don't have to hassle with making them, organizing them, or keeping track of their location. Instead, you can concentrate on learning the material. By popular demand, our app now features a built in stopwatch, which can help you time your study sessions or prepare for any applicable physical fitness test (by default, it's tuned to track the 1.5 mile run from the Cooper Institute Standard). A log is kept to help you track your progress. Please note separate apps are available for those training for corrections officer and security positions -- this app is designed for police officers.
