The resolution from the 136th General Assembly of Ohio, introduced by Representatives Sigrist and Piccolantonio, calls for federal law enforcement to allow state and local law enforcement agencies to participate in investigations of offenses occurring within Ohio. It emphasizes the crucial role that state and local law enforcement play in maintaining public safety and building trust within their communities. The resolution references a specific incident involving the refusal of federal authorities to include local law enforcement in the investigation of the tragic deaths of two U.S. citizens, highlighting the negative impact this has on public trust and transparency.

Furthermore, the resolution asserts that Ohio citizens have the right to be involved in investigations of potential criminal offenses in their state. It urges that the Ohio Attorney General and the Department of Public Safety should have access to necessary case materials and evidence to conduct thorough and independent investigations into any violations by law enforcement officers. The resolution concludes with a directive for the Clerk of the House to distribute copies of the resolution to Ohio's news media.
