Read full description

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.
