Overview

Mission

To promote issues which would enhance the law enforcement profession. To ease the transition from once being an active member of the Ohio highway patrol to a now retired member of the Ohio highway patrol. To research new avenues for health insurance and other benefits for retired members of the Ohio highway patrol. To work with the department of public safety and the superintendent of the Ohio state higway patrol in furthering these and other purposes.

What it reported doing in 2025

Provided a variety of benefits and general assistance to retired members of the Ohio state highway patrol and their families after their many years as an active member of the Ohio state highway patrol force.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
