Ohio State releases external review for off-campus safety efforts

In September 2021, Ohio State President Kristina Johnson directed the university's public safety team to engage an external safety expert to examine the effectiveness of the expanded approach to off-campus safety. Security Risk Management Consultants (SRMC) reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of strategies, plans, programs, resources, tools, and tactics utilized by both the university and the city of Columbus to enhance safety and perceptions in the off-campus neighborhoods.
