Public Records

The OPOTA and OPOTC public records portal allows you to view publicly available information about current and former peace officers in the state of Ohio. The records that are accessible through this portal reflect the most up-to-date training and appointment records in the possession of the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy (OPOTA) and the Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission (OPOTC).

OPOTC maintains certain records relating to the certificates and appointment history of peace officers in Ohio.

OPOTA maintains certain records relating to the completion of OPOTC-approved basic-training academies and OPOTA-approved advanced trainings.

Advanced training records for each officer reflect only courses scheduled directly through OPOTA. Many officers complete substantial advanced training through their employing agency or another organization. OPOTA does not maintain, and cannot provide, records of such trainings.
