  1. Section 268, let’s not wait! Google Cincinnati police policies and procedures and you can see them all. This was an outcome of the Cincinnati consent decree. Why wait? Let’s get every Cuyahoga police force policy and procedure document up on an official website soon. Just a simple PDF file. Now, not after a long revision process. Ask your mayor to post the policies, as recommended by the Governor’s Task Force on Police Community Relations.
