Public safety is the largest expenditure for nearly every city in Ohio, said Beavercreek Mayor Bob Stone.'Police and fire services cost on average half or more of the city's total budget,' he said. 'Officer training can be a significant part of these costs for cities. … We must work with state leaders to protect the fiscal health of our cities.'The alliance is recommending the creation of a dedicated funding stream for police officer training to enhance training and to help offset costs for local government.
