Hello,
Thank you for your email, however the records you are requesting are not public (Ohio Revised Code 149.433).
In addition, Ohio Revised Code 5120.21(D)(2) has an exemption for, “Plans for hostage negotiation, for disturbance control, for the control and location of keys, and for dealing with escapes.”
Thank you.
